mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 02/09/2013 10:24 pm You have a two piece button manufactured post US Civil War. The maker is Firmin & Sons out of London. The cool part is Firmin & Sons made buttons for the Confederacy. I believe the way you tell the difference between civil war and post civil war on Firmin & Sons buttons is the mark following their name. If Firmin & Sons ends with LTD or LD this is post war. This is what I was told by a civil war relic dealer. I can check my books and update my post if needed. As for the script WR or RW ? Report this Post to the Staff
