Army Veterinary Corps King George V Button "Established 1763".

The backmark on this 20 mm diameter button is "Established 1763".

Is that a mark of "Armfield"? (The company was established in 1763).

It's typical that when I'm too lazy to post images of the back of a badge that they'd be relevant.
I think the back of Bess's badge may be black, as is mine.
