It is almost certainly brass. The shank is thin wire soldered to the back of the button. 58th Foot it is.

Nice Other Rank tunic button. I wouldn't get your hopes up about the price but they are quite scarce, non the less.

It appears to be in very good shape for over 200 years. (It looks like it may have been dug) I’m sure if you start it at your suggested price on the well known auction site, you’ll get more! Best of luck, D.J.

I don't wish to sound a spoilsport but my first impression was that it could perhaps be a re-enactors button. I should have a couple similar (NOT 58th) somewhere and these resemble pewter. You should be in the best position to verify as there is no better way than handling. Photographic images do not always convey reality

Here are examples of two dug buttons, one brass and one pewter.
Pewter buttons with a small cast shank do exist, ...Found one, pewter, 26 mm, shank broken off. 3rd Guards. Last edited by btns; 11-06-19 at 08:47 PM. |

Will hunt it out but don't hold your breath. Haven't seen it around in ages but will eventually turn up. Misplaced as it's a re-enactor's item. GTB |
