Smile Cracking 85th Button

Hi Chaps,

I can't complain as I've had a lovely little run of Shropshire buttons of late. My latest to arrive is a cracking 85th - became 2nd Battalion KSLI in 1881.

Shared here for interest.

Cheerio,

Roy

Hi Tim,

Thanks for that mate, much appreciated. As mentioned it's been a nice run of late with Shropshire buttons. Funny how these things come in fits and starts, although it keeps life interesting that's for sure.

Cheers,

Roy

Thanks so much gents,

Half the fun is being able to share these little finds. It seems nice examples are a little thin on the ground, so very pleased to be able to add this lovely example to my small collection.

Cheerio,

Roy
