Today was military day. I didn't realize that until I cleaned things up after I got home. I was very happy finding that the button on the left actually had an Eagle on it. In the same hole with the domed cap I also found what I thought to be a flat button. After cleaning I noticed the flat button has GILT EXTRA STRONG on the back side. With a little effort I think I could snap the two together. The ornate dome has an Eagle holding a claw with 4 Arrows and Olive branch in the other. The shield on the Eagle's breast has vertical stripes. The perimeter of the button is adorned with stars. The second button was a true suprise. After cleaning and in some oblique light I noticed a spread Eagle embossed on the crumpled face of the button. Both buttons have the eagle facing it's right however this eagle has the arrows in it's left claw and branch in the right claw. There is a small heart shaped shield on the Eagle's breast with a Letter "I" or "T". in the shield. The back of the button has (Looks Like) SCOVILLs then WA_ _ P_ _ _ _. Can someone point me in the right direction for researching?
