Lazio, your button appears to be flat and Gilt (at one time?) and very clearly is RSLA. I did not explain fully in my previous post, but Litchfield states the letters on the button in his book bears RS and VA and goes on, “Royal Stanneries Volunteer Artillery.” It is difficult to distinguish the photo in his book, though it looks like LA to me. (The same as he definitely states SAV on the other button (as opposed to SVA. SO, are there two buttons (SAV/SVA & RSVA/RSLA)? Or is my “Anorak” mind being to pedantic? Regards, David J.
