South African Constabulary Buttons

[Gordon Craig]

Good Day,

I am trying to ascertain what uniform tunic the SAC buttons in the attached photo were worn on.  The gold one on your left is flat while the gold one on the right is domed.  The gold one on the right has been polished so many times that the South African Constabulary title is just a blur and hard to read.  The silver ones were made by V&R BLAKEMORE BIRMINGHAM, the flat gold button was also made by BLAKEMORE.  The gold domed one was made by the ARMY & NAVY COOP SOCIETY LD.

Regards,

Gordon

Hello Gordon......

The Brass Buttons were worn of the Green Dress Uniform up until the disbandment of the SAC (1900-1908), they were also worn on the field uniform up until 1901/03 and possibly a bit longer....   The others were worn on the field uniform from 1902 to 1908......
