Default More Buttons

Not sure if u got a chance to see these on the other post, looks like me n dscz20 have the same navy button. I can't get a back mark off of any of mine. I soaked em like u said got some crud off, no mark.What do u think of the 1 with the crown n lion. Fur traders n trappers frequented this area, and its near Fort Hall on the Oregon trail. HBC had a post here in the 1830's Could it be that old?? any thoughts would be great . Thanks
