You might want to look at this:-

Hi Griff,

The "PYC" button is listed in the Bosley's Button Auction on 15th Feb 2006 (lots : 509, 510 & 511). It is described as :

"Perthshire Yeomanry Cavalry Officer's plated ball pattern coatee button.
Firmin & Co London. Circa 1794 - 1820."


Cheers

Ian

In their early existence the Pembs Yeo were generally referred to as the Castlemartin Yeo.
Hope that helps.
