Can anyone suggest a book on revolutionary buttons

diggin_nut · Aug 11, 2011

hey everyone,

i was trying to find out if there was a good identification guide available for revolutionary war buttons or a similar guide for both civil war and revolutionary war buttons in one book.
i'd like to be knowledgeable on military buttons. i know i can use the internet but there are many times i would prefer looking through a book.
thanks in advance

You might find these useful until you get a book. I found three flat buttons this week so I've been pokin around.
