Military buttons

[Donny B.]

Do any of you guys have buttons in your collections? If so can anybody tell me when P.J. King Pty Ltd of Melbourne were active in manufacturing buttons for the army?

Thankyou blackdraggon11! Unfortunately that was not the answer I was hoping for as it puts me no further ahead. I was trying to use the buttons to date a tunic that I came across in an old barn out of town. It appears to be an early pattern with the outside pockets and all but the tag on the inside is too faded for me to read a date or maker. The gentleman whose name is inside fronted up for both wars. I can't believe that I would be lucky enough to score a WW1 tunic so this is probably his one from WW2 if they issued the early pattern for a while. I know that uniforms is getting a bit off topic for a badge forum, but any information on the buttons would be appreciated.
