Default Wigan Local Militia

Hi Gents,

It's been somewhat slow on the old button front for me of late, so thought I would share this nice addition of a scarce Wigan Local Militia button (R&M 193).

Cheers,

Roy

A little cracker Roy. Far superior to the modern day crap.

Thanks for your comments chaps, very kind indeed.

Yes a little beauty this one and early for a closed back too.

Cheerio,

Roy

Roy,

Why does it read "WLR" and not "WLM".

regards

It would appear to be Wigan Regiment Local Militia from what I can quickly find out, so that would account for the "R" i guess?
