A Couple Of Rare/Early Buttons
Hi Gents,
I just had these two beauties come in, quite rare, so thought I would share. The Jamaica Militia button is one I know little about, so will have to do some research. The Flintshire Militia button is I believe scarce as I find all Welsh Militia buttons to be especially thin on the ground. Cheerio, Roy

Great stuff Roy & a pleasure to see. I have most of a Georgian ORs pewter button to the Flint Militia which I’ll dig out & take a photo of for you.
Hwyl, Kevin |

you got that Jamaica for a good price Roy. I think the Flintshire are scarce but gettable ive seen a few officer buttons for sale and a few other ranks. As you say some of the welsh ones are hard.

Very nice indeed gents,
I find OR's buttons from this period are almost impossible to find, so nice to see. Cheerio, Roy
