Northern Rhodesia Police Insignia
The black buttons,originally horn and later bakerlite/plastic were worn by the African constables/sergeants/headconstables/sub-inspectors on their winter greatcoats.Interestingly the officers' raincoats were WW1 military style in brown (they have a name but my advanced years preclude remembrance) and were held together by varnished leather ' knotted' buttons.
