Default 1st West York Militia - Date?

Hi Gents,

Due to some kind assistance from a forum member, I was fortunate enough recently to acquire this lovely gilt, open backed button to the 1st West York Militia. Of interest (to me) is that the backmarks is 'C.Jennens.London' (PoW) and not 'Charles' (Jennens)..!

I would like to ask for some assistance in dating this lovely button?

I have a very similar closed backed/silver example which I have a note of 'pre 1853' on but suspect this one is clearly much earlier.

Any thoughts or comments most welcome.

Cheerio,

Roy
