Sorry, no.
I think it's an officer's button, early 1800's. Edit: 13th Light Dragoons shown here as being in Ireland in 1814: http://archive.org/stream/thirteenth...e/n11/mode/2up A googling gives: Jan 44 to May 45: Exeter Jul 45 to April 46: Cahir Aug 46 to Sep 46: Dublin Oct 46: Newbridge Nov 46: Dublin Dec 46 to Feb 47; Newbridge April 47: Dublin May 47 to Aug 47: Newbridge Jan 48 to Aug 48: Longford Nov 48 to Mar 1850: Dundalk Apr 1850 to Apr 51: Edinburgh Button shown here: https://www.lot-art.com/auction-lots...era-23.6-early http://www.colchestertreasurehunting...dregiments.htm Last edited by leigh kitchen; 17-10-18 at 09:24 AM.
