Description
U.S. Artillery Officer’s Button
U.S. Artillery officer’s button, featuring a bold, high-relief spread-winged eagle clutching arrows and olive branch, with the central shield displaying the traditional “A” branch designation for Artillery. The face retains excellent detail with bright, original gilt highlighting the eagle’s feathers, shield, and device.
The reverse shows the Massachusetts maker’s mark:
“D. EVANS & CO. • ATTLEBO’ MASS.” a respected manufacturer known for producing quality officer-grade buttons for militia and volunteer units. The original shank remains strong and intact. Artillery officer buttons are considerably scarcer than standard enlisted examples, having been privately purchased by commissioned officers for use on frock coats and dress uniforms.
A choice, well-preserved example—sharp detail, strong gilding, and an attractive untouched surface. Ideal for any collection of artillery material or officer-grade Civil War insignia.
Comes housed in 4 x 5 riker display case with red velvet and descriptive card.
