Thanks to both of you,the info is much appreciated.
The button certainly has some age to it,and the Coat of Arms looks very much like that shown on the Royal Thai Police web page.
Cheers.

Unidentified mounted button.

This unidentified button came with a large lot of military items acquired recently.
It's a good quality S/P mounted button,about 23 mm. I don't think it is a UK military item,however the back mark...

Thanks Luke,
I think the expression,not for me is appropriate if there are variants like that out there.
Definitely Not my field, and outside my comfort zone.

WH buttons

Jonathan,

I'd say they are Welsh Horse officers buttons.
See my post from a while back with an identical pattern button.

Victorian Rifle Brigade button.

A Victorian era silver plated button of The Rifle Brigade, with a
Guelphic crown.A recent acquisition,and not a version I've come across before.
I think the the back mark dates it to the 1870's.
