This zouave button (also called a ball button) is 15 mm in diameter.  This button was a part of a New York collection.  Accompanying this button and other relics was a note written by Chet Small of the Horse Soldier indicating that the relics had been recovered by Dean Thomas at Gettysburg.  Dean Thomas is a well-known relic hunter, author and Civil War bullet expert.  There is a push in the button and a small spot of rust near the shank. I will include a letter, signed by me, noting this provenance.  This item may be seen in case 63 at the Antique Center of Gettysburg.
