It looks like a Marion Institute button to me. Look into it a little.

the lion and unicorn under a crown are british symbols to the core * what does the wording on the back mark say? --and can you make out the wording on the fronts banner ?

I have to agree with Crusader on this one. It looks like a modern Blazer button meant to look like a European/British Military button

Most likely it's just a copy style. Might be a fashion blazer or a school button if the motto is in Latin. I believe a real British coat of arms button would have a clear manufacturer as a backmark and most likely with their address. British were so thorough about that. I wish I could post the coat button I found last week (don't have my camera at the moment) dated WWI and marked 'E Armfield & Co Birmingham'. The lion and unicorn look quite different and they cover the entire button.

I'd research the Royal Army before you start saying its a civilian button. Looks silver to me or silver gilt and from the Royal Army. You know the Queen and all.... Great find !! My guess from the back of the button is its a Modern Royal Army Button. However the back mark dose not add up. So I'm likely wrong....

Keep @ it and HH !!

A little bit of independant research won't harm anyone. Sometimes you can get what others missed
