Hello again Chaps,
Okay so here is another recent addition and what a nightmare to photograph this little beauty is turning out to be.
Anyway I have no reference as yet on Irish Militia buttons (but have purchased a few of late
). This one is to the 1st Monaghan Militia and I believe is a Georgian Coatee button. Small at just 17.3mm and I'm not sure of the finish.
The back mark is difficult for me to read so if someone could confirm that would be grand. I think it says: 'W. Jones Cork Hill Dublin The King’s Button Maker'.?
Of course any other details would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Roy.
