RD III buttons

[chris217]

Were Federal eagle buttons still common on Richmond Depot III jackets that were issued by late 64 early 65?

Or would Block I's be the better choice for a late war ANV impression?

Jim and I have looked at pics of soldiers at Petersburg and they had eagle buttons on their coats. I use to have solid block I s on my type three, but I changed them to eagle buttons.

Jim,
I like the updates to your page. It has been awhile since I've been on your site. Keep up the good work.

Its amazing to me the Confederate depots were able to obtain and keep in stock Federal buttons well into 1865.

By the way Jim I really enjoyed your site!

Thanks Chris Lane
