    steel backs on buttons almost exclusively mean 1900's or newer , and Naval buttons traditionally had brass backs . so it would seem to be civilian .

    hey Dirt Fisher
    i believe they call them tin backs as the composition should be slightly different , would love to see them posted fronts and backs
