chinese made uniform buttons by "Royal Pewter" IRIS
In case you come across buttons marked "Royal Pewter" "Iris", be aware that they are a chinese product.

Hi Btns,
Nice bit of detective work there, tracking down the backmark. No idea on usage of that design of button though. Cheers Ian |

Yes, thanks for the warning.
So far button collectors are relatively safe from the fakers (unlike badge collectors). There are a few out there but they are either fairly obvious fakes or well known. Hopefully we can keep one another up to date if more fakes appear on the market. Roger |
