As this thread started with an inquiry about an Indian button, I would like to show a couple more that I cannot find any reference to. Both were made by Ramsey & Co of Calcutta and presumably for and Indian unit, but which?
Thanks to Simon’s lead link to the N.A.M., I had a good search through there but got nowhere. The three gun button I think would be an Artillery unit (although the Indian Military Academy has a similar button) and the other, a single gun (which may be a multi barrel machine gun or an even older type of Gun with iron staves wrapped around the barrel). The three trees with a sun-burst above has me beat! Finally, the Nepaul artillery also has me beat. I went to the Nepalese Army site but apart from their showing the button (as per mine) I find no other information reference badges etc. Please, can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
