Default Early Royal Bucks Militia

Hi Gents,

I thought I would share this lovely early Royal Bucks Militia button. I believe this to be early 1800's, so much earlier than other examples I have. A splendid large sized button. Very pleased indeed with this new addition.

Cheerio,

Roy

Thanks for that Matti,

These early large buttons with a slight convex to them, I find especially appealing, as they are almost coin like.

Cheerio,

Roy

The striking is superb. I am also known to collect the odd coin too
