Description:
Beautiful, uncleaned Cast I button dug in Fort Blakely / Spanish Fort battlefields. Acquired directly from the digger.

A collector's favorite, the solid cast infantry buttons, also known as Cast-I's, were issued late in the war. They were famously given to troops at the Dalton, GA camps where a good many were lost and subsequently found by relic hunters. Since they are solid cast they are almost always in good shape and with shanks.
