Help with Unknown Buttons Please
Hi there,
A few more from my unknowns box.
(As usual, if they don't fit in with my collecting interests I may dispose of them at a later time).
1. 7VRC - White metal (27.8mm). Backmark = W . B . C *** LONDON ***
[I did wonder (hope) if this was for a '7th Volunteer Rifle Corps'? - Though for which County I don't know, presumably it would have to be one of the big Counties to get up to 7th]
2. "For The King" (19.6mm). Backmark = J.R. GAUNT & SON Ltd LONDON . ENG .
[Loop removed and crude solder repair made]
3. RAC under a Crown. (23mm). Backmark = J.R. GAUNT & SON . LONDON
4. KGR under a coronet of some sort. (14.2mm). Backmark = JENNENS LONDON
(Belt/strap contains the following honours : KELATIGHILJIE (kelat-i-Ghiljie), CANDAHAR, GHUZNEE, CAUBUL. Which are all battle honours from the first Afghan war circa 1830-40s)
[This could be Indian Army - but well out of my area of knowledge]
Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ian
