Unknown Victorian Button
Hi,
I found this in a field with a few general service buttons. I's in pretty bad shape but any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Makers Mark is Firmin and Co London. |

Looks like Scots Guards.

Can you show an image with more light along the bottom half?
I think there may be something written along the lower portion, although not legible, it may help narrow it down as I have a few ideas. Cheers, Roy

Crown doesn't look familiar

I was thinking that the crown is the "big eared" Victorian crown, pending a clean up which may reveal further detail the button appears to be a Victorian Scots Guards one?

I'd go with Scots Guards.

I think so too, I cleaned it a little more.

Here's a closeup of the crown. If anyone has any tips on restoring badly corroded buttons I'm open to suggestions.
