WW2 British Welsh Guards Large Size Button

This is a World War II era British Welsh Guards large size uniform button. Manufactured to official military specifications, the button features the insignia of the Welsh Guards, a regiment of the Household Division formed in 1915. The design typically includes the regimental badge—an arrangement of feathers and a crown—embossed on the front. Such buttons were issued for use on formal tunics and greatcoats, and their larger size was standard for placement on the front of coats or jackets, distinguishing them from smaller cuff or epaulette buttons. Constructed from brass or a brass-alloy material, the button would have originally been finished with a gilt or polished surface. The reverse is stamped with the manufacturer’s mark and has a fixed shank for secure attachment to fabric. This item is of interest to collectors of British military uniforms and those specializing in World War II memorabilia, providing a tangible example of period British Army dress equipment.
