Civil War button?
A customer of mine just bought this button at a yard sale. It is made of brass and is approx. 7/8" in dia. He thinks it might be a military item from Civil War. I have no idea, the company that made it is from Great Britan. Great Britan did supply the South with some military goods, so maybe? Thanks for any help.[:)]

Firmin has been in business since the 1600's and still makes military uniforms and buttons.
You should send your pics to them and I'm sure they can help you identify it.

According to this website, that backmark was used from 1852-1875:
Firmin & Sons 153 Strand & 13 Conduit St. London (1852-1875)
