Unidentified Blackened Fouled Anchor Button.
Can anyone identify this button please?
It measures about 14 mm across. It has raised lettering on the reverse but I can only make out one or two letters. A continental look to it? |

Hi Leigh,
With the design and button shank it looks very French. Possibly WW1 or thereabouts. Colonial Infantry or Marines? Hope this helps! |

Thanks - my book check and googling failed to find that.

I got 50% of the answer....I think that the "casque Adrian" uses a version of this to the front.

Yes, I have one of those with the fouled anchor pinned on the front (the anchor, as opposed to the anchor on disc badge).

It is both marine infantry and colonial infantry.
