Unknown 'MC' brass button
Hello all
Is anyone able to identify this small brass button please? It's from my own collection and is not for sale.
It is approx 16mm, design of a King's crown over two crossed swords (of different types) with 'M' and 'C' either side of the swords and a different pattern crown below.
Backmark is not much help, just 'Firmin & Sons Ld', so after 1876.
Normal slightly domed button shape - the photo makes it look a bit flat like a blazer button.
I have been through all my reference books (including Poulsom's seven volumes) but can't find it. First, obvious, thought was that it is 'M...... Cavalry' but it could be 'Club'.
All suggestions gratefully accepted.
Roger
