Flat Button Field ID "Regent"?

In the field now and just found this. Any significance? Age? Thanks!

Great find! I haven't been able to locate another like it yet but my guess is it would be in the patriotic button category and date to the 1811 - 1820 period when the Prince of Wales (George IV) served as Prince Regent.

I've been investigating that angle anyway... it may be something else.

Let us know when you are able to get more of the backmark visible.

Will do...on the way home now so will clean it up and post better pics.

That's an interesting one- think Bramble is spot on with the time frame given the construction. I'll keep looking

For the life of me I can't make out the backmark at all...even with a loupe...it's about as clear as I can get it. It's well worn but there is an S at the 6o'clock position...

Cool find, and never seen it before and never one like it, unless you consider the one I'm posting similar.

So I do agree patriotic. and this one immediately came to mind.
