Thank you, Chris!
Jeff, I bet you've dug many ball buttons minus the shank part, just the "ball" part. I have quite a few of those, but to get the entire button seems rare. I wonder how many complete ones Dan has. Probably a wheelbarrow full

Nice finds Drew , your Hibernia has an odd looking head . Meaning it almost looks like the head type or outline on the regular British half pennies and not usually on the Hibernia's . I love seeing the file marks on the shoe and knee buckles , just proof of the workmanship and pride they had in every piece .
Dan only has a handful of nice undented complete examples .Originally Posted by OxShoeDrew
