And adding a photo of BSM Cheek is great, photos add another dimension to such items (as of course do service records etc).

67th Foot Pewter Button - Manufacturer?

A pre 1782 design?
It measures about 3 1/4" / 19 mm across.

Can a button guru hazard a guess at the manufacturer please? I can make out "LONDON" but not much else.
("NORTHFIELD"?)
