The inclusion of the 'Ld.' assigns a date commencing from 1876. May I ask if this design was changed after 1881 or if it continued in use in the Mess as a numbered regiment.

I think that you will find that the button remained in use without change after 1881, and right through until mess livery was no longer used.
