Hi Digupfinds,What crown is on the button,The reason i ask is the U.K and its colonies produced hundreds of military and civil buttons.I too have a couple of buttons that i cannot i.d.Being a one piece it would be reasonable to say 1830's.Any writing on the back.

Looks like a pre-victorian crown maybe William IV?

Tried to scan a better image but the design is very worn.

The back has no marking that I can see under the corrosion & I never over clean.

Hi Digupfinds,I can give you this much info i found.William iv was crowned king of the United Kingdom and the German state of Hanover on 26 June 1830.Died 7 years later.The H on your button may stand for Hanover and it has the King William iv Crown on it.My guess is that is a german state of Hanover Military Button from the 1830,s era.Button too was the design from that era.Not sure if the british used official civil buttons in that era

Is there a clear crossbar on the "H"? I can't quite tell from the photo, although there does appear to be some sort of line there. I ask because otherwise it looks a bit like one of the 11th North Devonshire Regiment button varieties used in the 1850's— however, that's pretty late for a one-piece. Anyway, here's an example for comparison:

Looked at it with an eye glass and there is a definate bar.

Close but not close enough, thanks for your effort.
