Thanks for that.

And yes indeed I do, nice to see such a group, makes one realize just what a variety are out there waiting to be found.

I think I recognize the first two.

So the EN 3 LM button is defiantly a Norfolk Militia button then? Just asking as I recently had one on eBay which I listed as a 3rd East Norfolk Local Militia button and someone messaged me convinced I was wrong!

It is according to Howard Ripley - the button is in an addendum to his 'Local Militia Buttons' book, illustration 202, described as '3rd Eastern Regiment, Norfolk Local Militia. Gilt, silver and pewter examples, all convex with open backs'.
