Hi turntostone,

Not a great deal of help but may put you on the right path.

(Assuming you are reading left to right, top to bottom)

1. Looks like the Eagle from the RAF or Air Training Corps (ATC), except that it is missing the Crown (KC or QC) or “A.T.C.” above the eagle. Don’t know whether there are any ex-Empire or Commonwealth Air Forces who use the same eagle but without the crown.
2. Coronet over “VIII” – Unknown.
3. Bird with flapping wings standing on one leg – Ghana Army.
4. The Kings Regiment (Liverpool) – Hopefully 8th Foot can help with this id.
5. Looks to be flat, so I would therefore assume that this is a blazer button for the Seaforth Highlanders.
6. Musicians - Do not think it is a Military button. I think it is a generic Musicians button as worn by numerous brass bands etc. (i.e. Brighouse and Rastrick Band).

Hope that helps rather than confusing.

Cheers

Ian
