Unknown Victorian Button

Hi,

I found this in a field with a few general service buttons. I's in pretty bad shape but any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Makers Mark is Firmin and Co London.

Looks like Scots Guards.

Can you show an image with more light along the bottom half?

I think there may be something written along the lower portion, although not legible, it may help narrow it down as I have a few ideas.

Cheers,

Roy

Crown doesn't look familiar

I was thinking that the crown is the "big eared" Victorian crown, pending a clean up which may reveal further detail the button appears to be a Victorian Scots Guards one?

I'd go with Scots Guards.

I think so too, I cleaned it a little more.

Here's a closeup of the crown. If anyone has any tips on restoring badly corroded buttons I'm open to suggestions.
