<p>[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 210938, member: 468"]The U.S. Army changed to the Great Seal button in 1902, which made obsolete all of the state buttons, all the separate army organizations, all the separate letter eagle buttons, even separate buttons for general staff. “One style for all arms and all grades, private to Lt. General. The only exception is the Engineer Corps, who are to retain their present design. Bronze for service and gilt for dress. The design is a copy of the great seal of the U.S.” (source: Record Of American Uniform And Historical Buttons, by Alphaeus H. Albert)</p><p>~</p><p>[ATTACH=full]61672[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
