✅ SOLVED British Flat Button ?

[Natman]

Hi all,

I found this yesterday in an old yard, it's about 7/8" wide and is solid (not a 2-part button). Shaft/loop is gone, feels like lead (has some weight to it). Any ID help welcome.

Thanks,
Nat

It looks pewter, that would make it purdy darn old. Thats a big button, almost like a rosette or something bridal

Sorry it's 7/8" wide, I corrected it...my mistake.

Its a British military button. No idea about the age as they made them for a while.

I'm sorry Natman, but based on how the metal is breaking down and the casting style, it looks to be early 20thc 'modern' to me.

I hate to generalize your find as a 'Blazer button', hopefully I'll be proven wrong, but that's what I'm seeing.
