I found these Tudor Rose buttons at two different sites. The first site had two 26th British Regiment buttons on it. The second site had two USA buttons on it. The first rose is heavy and is 31mm. The second rose is cast and 24mm. Can any of you button guys ID them? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Dave:icon_scratch:

Please post a clearer picture of the back of the large button.

The big one looks like a British horse rosette, not so much a button. Two reasons - the metal is too thick and that center looks to be utilized on leather, not cloth. I have seen them from the Northern Neck of Virginia. Yours is extra nice!

Thank you Smokeythecat. That makes sense. It seems too heavy to be a button.:icon_thumright:
