British button rev war ?

[Eastcoasthunter21]

Hello all hope your all out swinging !
Got out four a little bit today stopped at a open spot near
The action in 1776 , poked around got one good signal
This is what popped out. I believe it's British
But and I know it's early. But is it rev or not ?
Hey iron patch , if anyone can narrow down a time let me know
Thanks for reading hh gl

Charlie you know what I told you, now let's see how close I am. Let's hear from the experts!

Given the ornate nature of the KRR design I'd say a War of 1812 period British button. I'll see if I can find a match- anything on the back?

 

[Scrappy]

It says KRR on the front

 

[Patriot Relics]

KRR...could be the King's Royal Yorkers

Looking for a matching varient

 

[GrandBlancDig]

It is a British King's Royal Rifle Corps button. I'm working on a match to get the year. KRR started in 1756

This is an intense scavenger hunt do you know what is says in the banner on the bottom Scrappy?

Nah, only Charlie can tell u that. Can t quite see the bottoms. Anyway, Sorry I didn't see that in your comment above mine you said it read KRR. Lol.

Tough to read may be after more cleaning

Rotate the first photos 90 degrees clockwise. the ribbon should be at the bottom. This type probably late 18th century to first decade 19th century, but I need a better look.

 

[Patriot Relics]

Checked my button books and surfed the internet for 2 hours...come close but no exact matches. My gut is still late 18th or early 19th century due to the script and construction. Hopefully a bit more research pins down a exact date range... oh and almost forgot CONGRATS! Love these early military buttons

if its British - ask Crusader

[Eastcoasthunter21]

[Carolina Tom]

Very nice Charlie!

See ya soon.

 

[CRUSADER]

if its British - ask Crusader

It dates to 1837-1901 as it has Vicky's Crown.

''action in 1776'' - This is why I keep saying look at the evidence first, not the site.

found a match

I believe I found a match:

Silver coloured officers coat buttons from the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. They are dated early 1900’s and are a very rare find.

HISTORY -- The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was a British shipping company founded in London in 1839 by Scot James Macqueen. After good and bad times it became the largest shipping group in the world in 1927 when it took over the White Star Line. The company ran into financial trouble, and the British government investigated its affairs in 1930, resulting in the Royal Mail Case. Chairman Lord Kylsant was imprisoned in 1931 for misrepresenting the state of the company to shareholders.

So much of Britain's shipping industry was involved in RMSPC that arrangements were made to guarantee the continuation of ship operations after it was liquidated. The Royal Mail Lines Ltd (RML) was created in 1932 and took over the ships of RMSPC and other companies of the former group. The line's motto was Per Mare Ubique (everywhere by sea).

What do you think?

If your right, it can't be early 1900s, unless its 1900 or 1901 because it has Queen Victoria's Crown.

PS. Looks a good match but a side by side view will help.
