Constabulary buttons, what period
Hi all,
I found those two Constabulary buttons that are looking pretty old. Larger was made in Dublin. Any ideas when they were in use? Pre- Victorian era?

I am always looking early (pre 1939) British ribbon bars with foreign awards; interesting devices or just different construction solutions. Also I am seeking Royal Dublin Fusiliers items. I can help in small scale to research RDF soldiers (MICs, medal rolls, additional information, etc).

1856 County and Borough Police Act compelled all Counties to establish police forces before this many watchmen or constabulary would likely have a general issue button. I think Ripley did a volume two police button book that deals with the earlier buttons but I don't have it.
Clancy back mark dates the large button to around 1810-1850.
