RUSSIAN GOLD 22MM BUTTON NEW

The Russian 22mm Gold Military Button is a classic Eastern European uniform fastener featuring the iconic raised five-pointed star — a hallmark of Soviet and modern Russian military dress. Supplied new and unissued, each button carries a bright gold-tone finish, a textured star motif on a polished domed face, and a sturdy shank loop on the reverse for quick sew-on application. It's a small detail piece that moves consistently across surplus, reenactment, and craft channels.

Who It Sells To

This is a high-turnover impulse and project item for a wide range of customers. Reenactors and living-history hobbyists rely on authentic-style buttons to finish tunics, greatcoats, and visor caps. Collectors of Cold War and Soviet militaria pick them up for restoration work and display boards. Crafters, leatherworkers, costume designers, and tailors use them on jackets, bags, hats, and steampunk or military-fashion pieces. Airsoft and milsim players add them to repro uniforms for an authentic Eastern Bloc look.

Why It Works on Your Shelf

Buttons are the kind of low-cost, high-margin add-on that customers grab in multiples — once a reenactor or crafter finds a source for the right star button, they tend to come back for sets. Display them at the counter, in a militaria parts bin, or alongside patches, badges, and shoulder boards to drive cross-sells. The authentic Eastern military aesthetic also fits neatly into the surplus-fashion trend, broadening the audience beyond pure collectors.
