Tim,

Lovely examples, thanks for showing them, particularly nice to have the original backing card on the button example, I wonder how many Regiments were included in their stock.

Simon.

Hi All
I just saw this post. I have a bunch of these brooches with just the ring at the top. I am fairly certain they were watch chain devices for fob watches rather than for hanging on a neck-chain.
Cheers,
Alex
