These buttons are referenced in Warren Tice’s military button book under the identification number CS1206 Am.1, as well as in Alberts earlier work that detailed them under the number CS 173.
These reproductions are picture-perfect copies of the original Perter Tait lined “I” buttons that were ran through the blockade from England and have been recovered at various later-war camps and battle sites. There was also one surviving Peter Tait Contract Confederate Jacket that retains these exact buttons (See Imported Confederate Uniforms of Peter Tait & Co., by Frederick Adolphus, pp.39-45).
