Why so expensive
These buttons were sold on ebay tonight for £26 which seems very expensive, is this the going rate?

Have never seen 'Facing Pairs' of Buttons, only Collar Badges.
Gilt & Silver Mounted Small Buttons usually command a slightly higher price than say a OR Small Brass or Anodised example, while some 'Kings Crown' Anodised can be as rare as their corresponding Cap Badges! Collecting Military Buttons has its own sub-culture!

This pattern was worn by both the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and the Royal Munster Fusiliers. Worn on mess dress by the Munsters. In the Dubs, it was one of a pair of designs (the other design had the Elephant) worn on the mess dress jacket and waistcoat. The Dubs were unique in having two different button patterns . John having said that about the price, I saw a pair went on e-bay for GBP 6 about 3 weeks before this lot. Last edited by John Mulcahy; 08-03-10 at 11:48 AM.

Thanks everybody, I saw the same pattern in Neills Blue Caps and thought they could be buttons to the dubs, I had purchased the 2 buttons for £6 a couple of weeks ago from the same vendor and was a bit confused when I saw the latest price.
Best Regards, Connaught

Theys started of @ £6 but were pushed up by two large bids from the same buyer within 15 seconds of each other to try and beat an earler bid from the winner. 6***1 may even have had an higher bid on them!
