I don't know if it's from the British regiment that goes by that name or just based on it (civilian blazer), but here's one: VINTAGE GILT METAL OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKINGHAMSHIRE BUTTON | eBay
That was found in this search: http://www.google.com/search?q="Oxf...a=X&ei=FGJrVYT2GKXLsATpjYPoDg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoBA

But I noted items that weren't military, like the blazer patch in the top row

"ox and bucks" was a British military group

If the back is rusted then I would go with being a blazer button. The one nhbenz showed us had a brass back on it.

Glen,

I'd go with blazer button also....I've found quite a few military/naval types over the years with rusted out backs and it's usually a dead giveaway....still a neat find.

The same button and mines not rust in the back it’s actually in very good condition but I’m just learning buttons myself..
