    I assume they are military. A rearing horse, crown, the letter W or M and what seems to be a ball and chain thrown in for good measure. I've found one image on a Google search but it gives no information. Thanks. P1080030.jpg

    How totally ridiculous, I didn't think to look, but when you do it says Firmin London. I'll see what that produces ... :shame:

    Well done you!! I looked and looked, then fired off a "please help" email to this august London firm. The prompt reply: "We thank you for interest in our company and one of its products. The image below is of a R.E.M.E. (Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers) button with a Kings crown (George VI). It is a standard regimental button, made from base metal. This is all of the information we are able to supply, and we hope it is helpful to you."

    Of course I have fired back a thank you. Boring stupid buttons. What to do with them now? Pleurgrghp.

    Well, now you probably know all there is to know about it except the name of the serviceman whose uniform it was on. There are collectors of militaria as well as collectors of buttons, so should you wish to sell, must be someone who would love to have it.
