Had this beast for a while, came from a big Welsh estate, Cheshire buttons 1881 pattern but not original to coat, no tailors marks, can anyone age this, thanks, Paul

Ah, now I've seen a couple more photos maybe not (I can only open 1 post at a time at the moment)

The button shown is the post 1923 or thereabouts Royal Welch Fusiliers by the way.
