Thank you! As I mentioned below, I will let them go, so they will be available on Evil-Bay in coming hour.

Thanks again who replayed or sent messages

No 13 is Fife Mounted Rifle Volunteers, also worn by Fife Light Horse Volunteers, despite name change. See "Light Horse And Mounted Rifle Volunteers 1860 - 1901" by W.Y. Carman. Page35.

Thank you again guys. Few more to discuss...

1. Ball-button. Fusiliers "flaming grenade in the top. I haven't seen this kind of loop before... is it British at all?

It says "Lyon" on the back so I suppose its French.

The makers mark on the back can also be found on ORs buttons? Was that KRIH VIII button above unique to the Officers?

5. Third Guards ??? Mess waiters gilt? (pre Irish/Welsh Guards?) NO IDEA STILL WHAT IT IS

Hi,

I would say this button is either a blazer or club waiter button to the Scots Guards Club.
3rd Guards = Scots Guards (also note Order of the Thistle)
Note title in annulus
