Thanks

Hi Phaethon, try a data base that has button manufacturer I.Lloyd Dublin. That should tell when they were in operation. Your local Library should be able to help you as you appear to be in Dublin. Best regards, David J.

This one I assume is a Dublin County light Infantry Militia (109th County Dublin) but from what period this button could be? Around 1860-1881?

Thanks
