Holmes_9740 Posted March 14, 2018 Share 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 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hello, I would think Welsh for the last one's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted March 14, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried every M except Montgomeryshire and the dragon facing the other way threw me as well. Lovely Sabretache by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
