Default Assistance to identify military buttons marked E W Jackson & Co ?

Hi All.

I've owned a set of 4 Military Buttons which I was hoping to identify.

The following is engraved on the rear of each:

E W Jackson & Co London 58 Gracechurch St

The front feature graphics which include an anchor.

The only thing I could find regarding these buttons was gleaned from the following book:

Military Button Manufacturers 1800 1899 by Peter Naylor.

He indicated that:
  • This company made Army and Navy buttons between 1880 - 1890
  • The wording: Jackson E W & Co was associated with manuf in 1881. Other years included Edward rather than E in the engraving.

As these buttons feature an Anchor I'm thinking they are Naval buttons manufactured in 1881.

Can anyone identify these buttons, including year and theatre of use?

Cheers

Cliff
