Unidentified Firmin Button - Military ?
Asking for some assistance in identifying this well made Firmin button picked up this morning at a boot sale.
I read the monogram as WHC and was hoping that someone may know what this refers to whether Military or Civilian. As per rules I may well pass this on in the future. Any help appreciated Simon. |

Hello Simon
I would tend to go for it being a livery or other civil button, possibly a club. Roger |

Roger,
Thanks for that, I was thinking of something similar with the C as the last letter. Very well made and didn't want to leave it Simon. |
