5th Royal Irish Dragoons Button

[Rockfish]

A fairly recent accusation I believe to be Royal Irish Dragoons (1751-1799), flat one piece silver plate.The button back mark is T.B only. Not a pattern Ive seen before.
Any information on this or the disbanded 5th Dragoons would be welcome. All I know is they reformed as the Lancers in 1858.

This design is illustrated in Parkyn, page 50, No. 42:

... The officers' buttons of the old 5th Royal Irish Dragoons were flat, silver, with the design engraved (Fig. 42) ...

I do not have records on this maker.

- Thomas Biddell, Drury Lane is not an option, because he is listed from 1807 onwards. The regiment was disbanded in 1799.

- Thomas Bolsover, manufacturer of Sheffield Plated goods and buttons
