Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum, so thanks in advance for your comments!:)

I'm trying to identify this coat of arms button that I found yesterday near Сourtmacsherry (Ireland).

Although it looks pretty new, the overall feeling is that it was not made with modern technologies.

Any ideas, what is it? Thanks!:)

Welcome!
Seeing the back is of help in determining the age.
Anyone know what is being depicted between the two lions? -other than the star I can't make sense of it.

Lions. It all fantasy based on a Coat of Arms & 20th C blazer button as everyone points out.

Ertsam, We all get fooled at times.....

Ertsam,

Here's a button I found a few years back in a school yard....I almost passed out when I first saw if in that condition is it was a period
US naval button it would have been worth some serious money....flipped it over and it had a plastic back so just a modern knock off....lol...

Regards + HH

Bill
