found unusual button today

[treasurehound]

I found this today and have no idea on its origin. It looks like it has two crossed golf clubs with what looks like an English crown above them. Also looks like Latin or Greek letters around the outside. It is about the size of a nickle. The back is too corroded for any marks.

Blazer button Randy? Maybe Dman will know-he's a golf guy. Nice finds. You have snow this am? My son is deer hunting near Jamestown, TN and he said there was snow on roofs there this morning. HH, Quindy.

Thanks Quindy. I just found out that it is the crest of the Royal Blackheath Golf Club in England. It is the oldest golf course in England dating back to the 17th century. Now how old this button is I have no idea on but it is very old. The back is not in good shape and I don't think I can get anything out of it but will try Buckleboy's button cleaning method and see if I can pull anything out.
