Hi Fuzzybadge
Thanks for the photos but as you say they are a bit fussy, and its hard to tell if the buttons have Queen Vic Crowns or Kings Crowns.
Ive now had a look at Howard Ripley's button book and he only shows one button for the 21st lancers, it is the type 2 badge with upright lances, However but it has a Kings Crown.
I have also been through my cavalry buttons and the 21st Lancers that I have (4) are gilt officers buttons with fixed shanks, a large one is by Firmin and there are 3 smaller ones made by Jennens and they all have a Kings Crown.
So don't ask me the problem only deepens.
Regards
Phil.
