Hello,

I can't really see enough detail in the photo to help but Jeff Cossum in his book "Buttons of the Defence Forces in Australia" illustrates some 20 of these general pattern "Australian Military Forces" buttons and has dates allocated to most of them but as far as I can see the dates do not relate to specific boundaries on the maps on the buttons!

For example, he shows a button "No boundaries marked" with a date of 1914-1930" and another "Northern Territory boundary omitted" dated to the same period, 1914-1930" as well as one "All boundaries marked", again dated to 1914-1930. The variation in boundaries may have just been makers' variations.

Not much help I'm afraid other than to say try and get hold of a copy of the book.

Regards
Roger
