[pike335]

HELLO ALL, NEED HELP WITH THIS BUTTON IN REGARDS TO WHAT IT IS, AGE, AND POSSIBLE VALUE. THE BACK READS FIRMIN AND SONS LD LONDON. IT IS ALL COPPER. THANKS ALOT.
OH YA, CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A GOOD BUTTON ID BOOK. THERE ARE SO MANY, AND I WOULD LIKE A GOOD ONE WITH LOTS OF PICS. HOW IS THE ALBERTS?

Congrats on the button. I like it. As far as Alberts book is concerned I feel that it is a great book. It is military and I have been able to identify several of my eagle buttons using that book. David Keith at http://www.dixie-metal-detectors.com/ is where I bought my books. He is a good honest guy. Check out the website and give him a call. He will take time to talk to you and help you out with the best book for your needs.

I'll add a big "ditto" to what d-2 said about David. I've bought a detector, several books, and detector equipment from David. A few years back, I traded David some Indian Artifacts for Civil War relics..... I still think I came out on top. I even recommended David to a 77 year old lady who was looking for a detector for her grandaughter. The lady said David was the nicest and most helpful person she'd ever dealt with over the phone. She bought the Tesoro Cibola for the g'daugter.
