Welcome to TreasureNet, Goal... it's great to have you with us!

The backmark on the button indicates that it dates from around 1800-1840 and is probably of British manufacture, and the crossed cannons are an artillery insignia. It is not a British Army button, however. So, it would either have been produced under contract for another nation, or as a stock (generic) pattern available for purchase as a substitute for a custom-struck artillery button.

Whatever the case, it's a nice find!

Thank you PBK ! indeed, one meets this backmark on certain buttons of the US army Civil War, at this time Belgium is partly under French domination (Napoleon 1st Empire) the involved forces are the French and well allied, in the opposite: Do Prussia, Russia, Sweden, Saxony and the United Kingdom, I thus think that it is about the one of the armies allied in the United Kingdom, can be Sweden closer to the British people ?

Whatever the case, thank's

Not sure on the Marines bit, but 1860s sounds about right. Its a Victorian Crown (1838-1902), an looks like a 2 piece button which post dates 1850. What does the back marks say?
