Hi there,

It is a Mess Waiters button to the 1st or Royal Regiment of Foot/Royal Scots Regiment of Foot.

The backmark dates it to circa 1875-1894.

There is a later version which is similar design except that it has a QVC atop the letters "RS" (Royal Scots).

If you are thinking of selling, please let me know.

All the best

Ian
