Scottish Militia Button?
Hi All
Is this 'Royal Aberdeenshire' button a militia button? It is silver plated but it's mounted in a frame so I haven't taken a photo of the rear. Thanks, cheers, Alex |

Thanks for all the replies. I bought this with 19 other buttons more than 30 years ago, all tied together with a bit of wire. I paid 20c each for them here in South Africa, and even then I knew it was a good one, I was just starting out collecting then. It is a silver plated officer's example.
Cheers, Alex |
