My last few hunts have been producing 19th century civilian buttons
,but my last find was military.
100th (Prince of Wales Royal Canadian) Regiment of foot.
This Regiment was British Army,raised in Canada,to create extra military
Resources following the Indian rebellion,in June 1858.
It embarked for England later that year and was posted to Gilbraltar and
Malta before returning to Canada in 1866 and took part in the ceremony
for the inauguration on the dominion of Canada on July 1st,1867.
Backmark- P.tait & co- Limerick
with a floating shank.

Pretty looking button congrats. I know with how much I find this is going to sound odd, but I only need 1 GOOD button to make my day.
