Default RN Button?

Hi All
Is this an early RN button? It is 20mm diameter.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Looks like a potential fashion item with a backing like that.

Thanks guys. I have no idea what the early plain anchor buttons of the RN look like, so had to ask the question.
Cheers,
Alex

A website from the era of dial-up connections:
http://www.angelfire.com/wa/dianaspa...itishNavy.html

Note that the site is a compilation of books, magazines and the internet. It does have a number of incorrect statements.

Perhaps it is a continental navy or maritime service?
