Hi Peter,
(I have updated both posts, so the details aren't lost). The initials are actually "RGT". It is a British Yeomanry button to the "Repton & Gresley Troop", pre 1864. According to the book, it looks as if all the buttons were made in Gilt. Repton & Gresley Troop : 1832: Raised. 1838: Disbanded. 1843: Re-raised. 1864: Regimented as the Derbyshire Yeomanry Cavalry. (Source : Ripley & Darmanin's book on Yeomanry buttons. Page 10 Nos. 21 Button in Gilt). Cheers Ian |
