Always thought that I might find one here in Missouri since the 3rd Louisiana was at Wilsons Creek in 1861..........Mark

Keep at it. This one surprised me at the end of the hunt. I've found 1 pelican coat button before but it was trashed, smashed and barely identifiable. This one was a tad bit different. It came across as a 33-34 with the F75 and only down at 4". CCH
