Hello Pembird

A very nice Victorian button for the 15th (London Scottish) Corps, Middlesex Rifle Volunteers. They were renumbered as the 7th in 1880 and then became a volunteer battalion of the Rifle Brigade but did not change their title. They became the 14th (County of London) Battalion, The London Regiment in 1908.

The same button can also be found with a King's crown and according to Howard Ripley's book on "Rifle Volunteer Buttons" was worn by the 7th (presumably up to 1908?) but I do not know if it was worn by the 14th (County of London) Battalion after that date.

Roger
