Original Civil War Eagle Button – Mint Condition – Used by Union & Confederate Soldiers

Offered for sale is a genuine Civil War-era Eagle Button in mint condition, a rare piece of American military history. This authentic uniform button was used by both Union and Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War (1861–1865), making it a highly collectible artifact for historians, re-enactors, and Civil War enthusiasts.

• Design: Features the iconic raised Federal Eagle with shield, symbolizing strength and patriotism. This standard-issue motif was commonly used on the coats and jackets of soldiers from both sides of the conflict.

• Condition: Exceptional mint condition – crisp details, no corrosion, intact shank. It appears unissued or extremely well preserved.

• Material: Likely gilded brass, standard military issue of the period.

These eagle buttons were originally produced for U.S. military uniforms, but after the Southern states seceded, many Confederate soldiers repurposed or salvaged these buttons for their own uniforms, particularly in the early years of the war. As a result, this button carries the unique legacy of being a symbol of both Union and Confederate service.
