✅ SOLVED British Military(?) Button

[Mudwiggle]

Hi all,
Been up all night trying to ID this button, Can any button buffs shed light or hint at potential leads?



John Weston, Old Bond St. tailor, was judged bankrupt in 1831 if that's any help?

Was deep in anaerobic ooze which has given up some late 1800's coins at about the same depth.

Thanks

Neat find!

It may be related to this set - I know it is of a bit different design (and maker) - but it may be a variant.

As an aside...It is interesting b/c I recently researched another button posted here at Tnet that I thought perhaps was George Prince Regent related and came across this auction listing at that time too.

That's it! Found an identical button to mine as expired listing on Fleabay. Not military, but much more betterer

Thanks very much.
I can go to work and get some sleep now!
