I have no idea about the button. But when you think that this belongs to a regiment with number 73 from the Indian subcontinent, then there only was one of the kind. Thus not very confusing I think
73rd Carnatic Infantry 1903 redesignated a such from 13th Madras Regiment. 1922 redesignated as 1st Battalion, 3rd Madras Regiment. (See: 3rd Madras Regiment)

Thank you. I was hoping to get a date from the back-mark but can't find anything about B. Bullmore. There was another 73rd regiment [of Bengal Native Infantry] formed in 1825 but disbanded after taking part in the Great Mutiny of 1857. However your button is more likely to be the later Carnatic Infantry.
