✅ SOLVED Need ID on British Buttons.

[dg39]

Any one have a good link to ID British Buttons WW-2 and later?
All the ones I seem to run into are too early or pictures are lousy quality.
For instance. Trying to ID these.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Just got a Small Tom's candy container full.
Thanks in advance!

They arn't British.That isn't our crown. Maybe Eastern Bloc or some such. (my opinion...i'm no expert though.)

Polish Army uniform buttons? Polish buttons had the crown removed during the Soviet Occupation Period. most were British and French made,.

Here's a few sites for British buttons that list the backmarks and time period they are from. But if you post the ones you need ID'ed to this forum we could probably ID them in less than a day!

generally we don't care, the most are buttons go for are $10, yours go for $1000's, so there is your reason. Most get junked.

Really, I am more interested in ID. The money part means next to nothing. I give away more than I sell. The most significant I put in museum's.
This site is the best on the web and I appreciate any and all information. I am more than glad to help those who need assistance in the fields I am proficient in.
I thank all who furnish me information.

My point explained why no British Detectorist have any interest in study buttons, hence the lack of detailed books & references on the net.
