I may be able to help as I do have a bit of a collection of referance books.
I just ordered a book from Germany that lists German/Prussion buttons 1801- WW2 weighs 2 1/2 Kilos!!
Also have books on British and American buttons 1700s on.
Post them and lets see how it goes.
One thing I alway ask to help with ID.
I need photos of the front and back..also a ruler for scale..prefer inches if possible..we use the metric system here in Canada...but after 20 odd years I still prefer inches, feet, yards, miles ect.
Please don't use coins of ID as I don't know the size of Europian coins..the guys in the UK do that to me all the time... If nothing else I can usually date a button by the way it's made.
I am looking for more books to ID these types of items..but they are hard to find and rather expensive when you do find them.
