Holmes_9740 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Hello Gents, I am having a clear out and listing lot's of items at the usual place online. I have two sets of buttons that I can't identify and wonder if anyone can help. One is a Naval set which is similar to the Kriegsmarine buttons but have a wreath around the lower part. The design is similar to a Royal Navy Flag Officers Badge but without the Crown. The second set is Army and I should know what it is but my memory is failing me. Thank you Gents.
Stuka f Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Hello, I would think Welsh for the last one's....
peter monahan Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) If the cipher on the second set is "M Y C", I would suggest 'Montgomeryshire Yeomanry Cavalry' as a possibility, though their dragon seems to face the other way. A picture of a sabretache of theirs below. The cipher looks the same, but that's hardly surprising. http://www.uniformology.com/YEOMANRY-06.html Edited March 14, 2018 by peter monahan

I tried every M except Montgomeryshire and the dragon facing the other way threw me as well. Lovely Sabretache by the way!
peter monahan Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Yes, i wish it were mine! Stole the pic from Pintrest. Glad it was of some help.
