Hi David,
I hope you don't mind, but here is another example of Yeomanry buttons that are not as old as they appear.
Harts Yeomanry Cavalry. Button first used in 1831 by The Hertfordshire Yeomanry Cavalry and was used by OR's until 1901 on the formation of the Imperial Yeomanry, but continued until the end Great War by Officers.
Move along a few years and the button was used again by Hertfordshire Yeomanry, 479th HAA and 286th Field Regiment RA between 1947 and 1961. Note the taditional spelling of HARTS and the Victorian crown and the makers mark which dates this to the 1950's-1960's.
Button comes in silver plate (shown), W/M, brass and Bronze.
I have the sealed pattern stored away and if interested, I will pull it out tomorrow.
Andy
