REVOLUTIONARY WAR NAVAL ANCHOR BUTTON

[del]

http://kirkmitchell.tripod.com/CobbGW/navy.html is this the one you have. man your eyes play tricks but the cob button is stamped in also

thats a close variation of the same button Scott but i'm afraid that the button you posted is not a continental button its also a British navy one from around the revolutionary war. they listed your button wrong on that website or you took it out of context , there wasn't much of a continental navy back then and their uniforms were either using pewter buttons of an anchor (officer's only) or the french designed buttons . that is neither a pewter button (its brass as the british ones) or a french type anchor design.
heres the website that list your button as correct British captain's or commander's
just scroll down and you'll see it .(its about the 6th one down Scott)

the button that Dave has is listed on page 10. in the book Military Buttons of the American Revolution its a good reference and i would recommend it.
