Title: ID's Please Post by: Reg on April 20, 2015, 06:13:56 PM Hi Guy's n Gal's, first post here for me... :)
Hope I've reduced the images correctly Can anyone ID these, think one is military button and second may be a coin... ??? Look forward to your comments ;D Title: Re: ID's Please Post by: Chef Geoff on April 20, 2015, 06:27:11 PM Welcome to DW Reg ;) The first is as you suspect a General Service corp button usually dating from WW1, the second is a bit more difficult but certainly a coin ummmm? I shall have a ponder and see if anyone else has any good id's.

OK... Alan with what I have to work with the following pics are the best I can do, I'll upload separately due to size without losing detail. And my brother is going to weight it for me tomorrow :D Title: Re: ID's Please Post by: Reg on April 21, 2015, 07:28:41 PM Another

Title: Re: ID's Please Post by: handyman [Alan} on April 21, 2015, 09:25:05 PM ok, i'm going to support Bens comment that its more like a roman [than a georgian]. I must admit that it has the look a 4th century face about it.
best if you hand it over to your local FLO for a more positive ID. Thanks for the new pics. cheers Title: Re: ID's Please Post by: Iron Giant on April 22, 2015, 07:14:08 AM Well found ;D
