Lazio, I can find no reference to a button similar to the one in your post. Also it appears that information on the Cinque Ports Artillery units is rather sketchy to say the least! Litchfield’s book only shows a Cinque Ports Volunteers button, which bears no resemblance to your friend’s button. Incidentally, your friend’s button I believe would be an officer’s button as it appears to retain quite an amount of silver plate. Best regards, David J.
