Can anyone ID which British Army regiment had this button?

[Paul_1957]

I have had a British Army button for several years and have never known which regiment it belongs to.

The button is made by the Army and Navy Company and has a diameter of 3/4 of an inch (18mm).

Can anyone identify the regiment or which part of the uniform the button came from?

Thanks

Paul

Paul - whichever Regiment wore this button - it is for their 2nd. Battalion. I will look through

some Victorian uniform patterns and see if I can help.

It is certainly for Queen Victoria - 1837-1901. Mervyn

Thank you Mervyn. I did wonder if it was for the 2nd West India Regiment.

I would've said the 2nd (Queen's Royal) Regiment of foot, even the style of "2" is the same - but theirs lacks the wreath?

Hello,

I had previously considered the 2nd Foot but noticed that their buttons did not have the same design as mine. Perhaps my button is from a Militia regiment.
