Gentlemen,
Does anyone know of a supplier for correct Massachusetts buttons? The only ones I have beenable to find are cheesy State Seal versions instead of the correct Sword of Damocles attached below.
If there is no supplier has anyone ever had accurate buttons specially made?

Thomas,
I do not know where you can purchase Mass buttons already made but my unit had dies made for our state buttons by the Waterbury button company, which actually made a large portion of the brass buttons in the ACW. It worked out well because we are a Connecticut unit and Waterbury is in Connecticut! Ironically, Waterbury's nickname is "the brass city" I'm sure they can probably help you, I'm sure you can find their contact info on the web somewhere, if not, drop me an e-mail and I will track it down for you from our unit member who set it up.
