Great post and photo Cheers Neil Title: Re: silver button Post by: borderfox.1495 on December 13, 2008, 07:49:57 PM thanks kev and neil, the button was found in the middle of the battle sit in cowbridge, cromwell attacking cowbridge castle he s holding a sword, at the time of the find, most people thought it to be 17th cent. why we posted it i thought it was a man s name, recently my mate looked at it and thought it might be connected to johnson pembroke i wonder the militra connecion, and did they send troops to help the castle the little holes around the middle make me think of sewed on button ? ee you soon have a good day tomorrow, thanks john
