Canadian and/or British Buttons...
Hi,
I got a lot of mixed buttons... 150 or so. Mostly of the image called "british", a lot of "irish" and one of each from "militia" I got them together in a suspiciously dirty & topless cigar box.... I just can't link them to a regiment with the litterature I own. Can someone help! Thanks! |

Have no fear, all check out as right.
From left to right: 1. Coldstream Guards; coat and pocket sized 2. Irish Guards, pre-1953, the same 3. Top: Scots Guards, pre-1953 (upside down) Bottom: Victorian (mid-19th Century) Canadian Artillery (you knew that, it says it!) |

Hi Patrick,
The buttons are from left to right: 1a & 1b. Coldstream Guards (Pattern worn from 1855 onwards) 2a & 2b. Irish Guards (KC so was worn approximately 1902 - 1953) 3a. Scots Guards (KC so was worn approximately 1902 - 1953). 3b. Canada Militia Artillery (Queen Victoria Crown) - sorry I don't know anymore about that one. There is one on ebay at the moment. (270272619723). Hope that goes some way to helping. Cheers Ian |

Thanks to all.
The only Canadian button it seems is the Canadian Militia Artillery. (Wow 20$ for that single button!) 3b. Canada Militia Artillery (Queen Victoria Crown) - sorry I don't know anymore about that one. There is one on ebay at the moment. (270272619723). |

Canadian Artillery button / hatpin
The Canadian Militia Artillery "button" is manufactured as a hatpin.
The 20 cm steel pin is missing. |
