Chinese Maritime Customs Button
Gutted that I missed the gilt Chinese Maritime Customs button offered by warrenevanz on Ebay today.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/China-Chi...53.m1438.l2649 If anyone has a spare please let me know. Will pay a good price for a large size button. |

Sorry, I do not have a spare.
Can you tell me the meaning of the characters? |

Always worth sending the seller a DM on eBay - he might have more. (nothing to loose in doing so I would suggest).
Good Luck ! Quote:

Chinese Customs button
According to Google Translate they say "Customs".
Here are two I have, NFT/NFS. The same design is still used in Taiwan. All the best Graham

Thanks for the information.
Do you have any other China Treaty Ports related buttons ? |

That's it I'm afraid, I've only been collecting Customs buttons since early last year. Whilst I'd like something from the Treaty Ports for my worldwide police collection any I've seen have been out of my league price-wise.
