Civil War button?

A customer of mine just bought this button at a yard sale. It is made of brass and is approx. 7/8" in dia. He thinks it might be a military item from Civil War. I have no idea, the company that made it is from Great Britan. Great Britan did supply the South with some military goods, so maybe? Thanks for any help.[:)]

You should send your pics to them and I'm sure they can help you identify it.

According to this website, that backmark was used from 1852-1875:
Firmin & Sons 153 Strand & 13 Conduit St. London (1852-1875)
