Button ID and date needed

[neodetectorist]

I found a deep old button today.
Oxfordshire & Buckinhamshire is on the button with some kind of a clover over a pipe looking object surrounded by a wreath.
Can I get an ID and age?
About the size of a US nickel.

Looks like a variation of early 1800’s militia rifleman button. Don’t even see that variety in the military button book. Excellent find!

Hmm, might be later 1800’s with that backmark. Check out the Wikipedia on it.

This British Military Button looks late 19th C, but without a back-mark its a best guess.

That's a nice little button!

Nice old button find with enough detail on it that someone here will ID it soon. Congrats on the find.

Nice find! Yeah, I'd also guess late 1800s/early 1900s.

Your button is a British Army tunic button. It was worn by the Oxfordshire & Buckinhamshire light infantry
Regiment during World War I (1914 to 1918). It was manufactured by J.R. Gaunt & Sons, London England from 1914 until 1945. Very nice save and thanks for sharing!!! "D"

Oh wow that makes me very happy.
Can I ask what that "U" shaped object is?
Bugle?
