Austrian-Hungarian Military Button
Hello,
I am new to this, so here we go. I found this Austrian-Hungarian while metal detecting in Western Germany. Two questions regarding it: A: What does HVN BOH LOMB ET VEN GAL LOD IL REX A A XXXX(can't make out the year) translate to? B: Does the number 20 at the base of the two headed eagle symbolize a regiment, and if so does anybody know which one? Thanks! -Greg |

Gary,
Awesome, thank you! I was amazed when I found this beauty. Barely 1" under the soil, on a long forgotten trail near by base. Thanks again. -Greg |
