Help with button identification
Hello, I'm new to the forum and was wondering if anyone can help me identify this old button I have. It came in an auction lot that I bought a couple years ago that had all kinds of old US and World military buttons as well as other assorted goodyear rubber buttons. I just haven't had any luck identifying this button though. I don't believe it's a US Military button because it looks like a crown on it and a castle to the lower right. Then it also looks like a bird is below the crown and possibly carrying a snake in it's claws. I've searched and searched and found a newer reproduction copy of this button several months ago, but it didn't say what it was or anything else about it. Hopefully somebody here can help me out and possibly tell me when and where is was from too.
The last photo is the reproduction I found online. |

Both buttons you show have been made for the fashion industry.
An original button is extremely high quality and has the maker's name on the reverse. See attachment. It was made for the Gothenburg and Bohus County in Sweden. Here is the English Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothen...d_Bohus_County |

Thanks for the info BTNS! Do you happen to have a photo of the front and back of an original or know of a page that does and might have more info on it? So you don't think the cast one in the photo is real? I thought it was real because it's cast and worn down and was probably in the ground for a long time but I don't know a whole lot about buttons. The last photo in the post was just one I found on a site of reproductions that I downloaded to use to try to find out more about it. The link you posted had a little info on the region, but I couldnt find anything on buttons from there.
