Comment: If you are looking for high quality then this button is for you. This is the type that shows the spear tip touching the bottom of the letter "E" in "CADET". It is the R & W Robinson back mark that is typically found on excavated examples of these buttons from Civil War sites. This non-excavated VMI coat button will be an excellent addition to any Civil War button or general relic collection.
