Calling all the button gnomes - ID help please
Hi all,
I am looking identification help here. Also I will be honest with you guys - most of them will be end up on sale, so any help regards the price dag would be greatly appreciated as well (can you please pm that instead). If you feel like that you would not want to share your knowledge due that, please do not answer -again, I just would like to be honest with you guys. These little gems haven't been out of market and I do not have any materials, regards British buttons. If there is any good site out there that can help, please direct me there instead (give a man a fishing rod instead...). Regards, Phaethon

I'd say No.8 is Coldstream Guards, given the motto.
