Default UVF button - what period?

Hi all,

I have this button here and I am wondering what period it would date - if I say 1912-1918 can this be correct?

Made in Belfast by A.Harper.

many thanks!

I've no knowledge re. these buttons, but I note that the crown appears to be flat topped Victorian?
Does that have any significance or is the crown meant to be a King's Crown?
