This is one of the rarest of all Confederate buttons. This is the even rarer cuff size variation of the AB1 Alabama Officers State Seal. The local cuff and coat counterparts are much more commonly encountered. Albert listed this button as AB1 in his landmark U.
This example is problem free, without ground action, great detail, flawless B. Of HG Schuler, and perfect straight shank. Also no dings or scratches after years of battle and 150+ years in the earth. Great example of a Confederate Alabama Officer button that is never seen for sale. Most of these are so rare that only a few of each are known.
