Default Unidentified Firmin Button - Military ?
Asking for some assistance in identifying this well made Firmin button picked up this morning at a boot sale.

I read the monogram as WHC and was hoping that someone may know what this refers to whether Military or Civilian.

As per rules I may well pass this on in the future.

Any help appreciated

Simon.

Hello Simon

I would tend to go for it being a livery or other civil button, possibly a club.

Roger,

Thanks for that, I was thinking of something similar with the C as the last letter.

Very well made and didn't want to leave it

Simon.
