Default Mystery Buttons ?
These buttons appear to be Naval / Maritime related. Can anyone identify them ? It was suggested that they are Hong Kong related but I cannot find anything to back this up.

Interesting buttons, I'd love to see them identified. Maybe the I has an Indian connection?

A similar button to your 'I K' one is currently listed on Ebay UK with a tentative identification of Hong Kong Customs force.

Many of this sellers offering are wrongly attributed. Take care with taking the description at face value.

Hi Simon,

Yes - I noted that a number of his HK related buttons were wrongly attributed and could see no identifiable link with these buttons to Hong Kong. Just wondered if there were any experts out there who knew.
