RUSSIAN GOLD 22MM BUTTON NEW

The Russian 22mm Gold Military Button is a classic Eastern European uniform fastener featuring the raised five-pointed star — a hallmark of Soviet and modern Russian military dress. Each button has a bright gold-tone finish, a textured star motif set on a domed face within a clean rim, and a sturdy shank loop on the reverse for straightforward sew-on application. The reverse carries the maker's stamping visible in the images, adding to the authentic military-spec look. It's a small detail piece that moves consistently through 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 use these to finish tunics, greatcoats, and visor caps. Collectors of Cold War and Soviet-era militaria pick them up for restoration work and display boards. Crafters, leatherworkers, costume designers, and tailors use them on jackets, bags, hats, and military-themed builds. Airsoft and milsim players add them to uniforms for an authentic Eastern Bloc look on the field.

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 reliable source for the right star button, they tend to come back for sets. Merchandise them at the counter, in a militaria parts bin, or alongside patches, badges, and shoulder boards to drive cross-sells. The Eastern-military aesthetic also has steady appeal beyond pure collectors, broadening the audience into custom builds and project work.
