Help identify a military button

[Robbie]

Hi everyone, sorry I haven`t been on here much last year. I`ve been dealing with a lot of family issues. I did get out for a little while yesterday and dug this small anchor button. I don't see any markings on the back. Any ideas on it`s age? Thanks

I think it might be an early 1800s British Navy button.

That`s what I was thinking too. so does that make it revolutionary?

It looks at least pre 1815 to me , its a great little button Robbie :clapping:

Might be from the 1780s or a little later. Check this link: http://www.colchestertreasurehunting.co.uk/navy buttons.htm
