Z5288 British 93rd "Sutherland Highlanders" Button

Description: Very nice water recovered enlisted man's pattern with a missing shank and exceptional detail for a pewter button. The body of the button is rather flat and appears to be pushed. It was probably slightly convex at one time. The backmark is legible. Nayler has the P&S Firmin backmark dating from 1840-1843 but I have seen references where it's listed in the late 1830's.

Backmark: "P&S FIRMIN / LONDON"

Measures: 19 mm

Recovered: Unknown

Reference: "Military Button Manufacturers from the London Directories 1800-1899" by Nayler Pg. 27 (1840-1843)
