Finally hard at work on an update of the original button book with Jim Kochan to which we are now adding belt plates ,gorgets and cartridge box plates, British , American, Loyalist, French ,German.
This is going to be a massive work loaded with super stuff and new info. If you or any of your friends have specimens of any buttons NOT in the current button book , I'd like to see them, also belt plates, cartridgebox plates, gorgets, cap and other types of insignia You don't have to own the item anymore either, all I need is your best picture!
Photos are best dead on, against a white ground , high res at least 300 dpi. Need size in mm, where found (not exactly of course) and your name for credit.We are not far from handing this to the publisher so please don't linger! There is tremendous new research and loads of great items never before seen!
Please don't send items you know are after the American Revolution, we are sticking with pre 1784.
