Title: Re: Detecting Thursday with Gadget Post by: Stig(The) on June 12, 2009, 08:18:12 PM Rob,tried some reference sites on buttons & the closest i could find to the one you found & quite similar is a tunic button of the 2nd Dragoons(royal Scots Greys)displaying the French Eagle.Dating to between 1877 & about 1950.

well done Title: Re: Detecting Thursday with Gadget Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on June 12, 2009, 10:22:59 PM Just the loop fella, no description r maker on the back. Did a silver paper test and did feel like a chemical exchange , bit of heat and eggy smell , not as strong as a hammered reaction though
Title: Re: Detecting Thursday with Gadget Post by: hedgehog on June 12, 2009, 11:14:13 PM silver plated livery button, if it was military I think it would only have one crown! Nice and unusual one though think by the size it must have come off the cuff, worth recording maybe?
