    Made it out.. Finally......

    Got out to a site I aint hit in prob 3 years.. Wasn't looking good at all for 2 hours, Till i got the button, I was happy enough with that since my back was killin ! When i looked it up and saw it is from the Spanish-American war I was pumped ! finally something from the S-A war !! can't find the exact same front and backmarks, but wicked happy anyway ! Cleaned up with just plain water..

    its a great looking button Rick and in outstanding condition | | but it appears to be a Spanish military coat button and not an American Military one but still from that time period (Spanish American War) heres a link of the Spanish ones and yours is the third one down .
