Ideal for a replacement. This old uniform button was recently found during an estate clean out, and it still appears to be in acceptable condition, in my opinion. However, it is vintage and does show some normal signs of minor wear (Sold As Is) due to age and storage over the years. For example, the silver coating is a little worn off on the backside, as shown in the last 3 photos. The size is approximately 1" wide. Before you buy, you should know there are multiple variations of this type, and you will need to make sure this is a match for the kind you are seeking. I would be happy to provide any additional details you may need upon request. Please look over the photos carefully before you buy this, as I unfortunately can not accept any returns at my current address.
