Civil War Era Missouri Cuff Button Tice's MO205As1

For sale is one non-dug, cuff-size (15 mm), three-piece, Civil War era Missouri state militia button (Albert's MO2). Tice writes that MO200 and MO205 are the "two standard Missouri state coat of arms specimens made before 1865" and would have been used by soldiers of all ranks.

With no stars above the eagle and the depressed-mark SCOVILL MF'G CO. Backmark, this button is specifically listed as Tice's MO205As1. Tice writes that the Scovill Manufacturing Company probably made some [MO205] specimens before 1865. This is the typical Scovill three-piece cuff backmark of the Civil War era. This example is in very good condition with a bent shank and no pushes. The crown of the button is naturally flat and compares to others we have seen of this type.
