brass buttons

[Paul@WYC]

We have found one of our buttons!
After years of searching regimental museums and metal detecting known drill sites, our Colonel has unearthed a Worcester Yeomanry Cavalry brass button. It has a Georgian crown and is hollow so it is firmly in our period.
Now all we need is to get copies made.
Does anyone have any contacts who can manufacture them.
My jacket alone needs 41 full size buttons.

Thanks Phil
I cannot find Henry of Somerset in the members list or any ref to the silver griffin online.
I also looked for the silver wyvern.
Do you have contact details perchance?
Or if you know him pass on my contact details via the wyc website.

Just to add to my serjeants post.

The button has remains of gilt on It and has a beautifully scrolled and entwined WYC.

The button was found on a ploughed field that was once the ornamental garden of a large Georgian residency near Worcester.

A member of the WYC, probably an officer, lost it whilst strolling around the grounds.

Might be worth researching if a member of the family at the time was a member of the WYC.
