British Royal Welch Fusiliers Officer’s Medium Size Button

This British Royal Welch Fusiliers Officer’s Medium Size Button is an authentic component of the regimental uniform, historically worn by officers of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, one of the British Army’s oldest infantry regiments. The button, produced in a medium size format, features the regiment’s distinctive insignia, typically incorporating the Prince of Wales’s feathers, a coronet, and the regimental motto, finely detailed in raised relief. Crafted from quality gilt or brass, officer’s buttons distinguish themselves from other ranks through their higher standard of finish and materials. Such buttons were used on dress tunics and patrol jackets from the 19th century into the 20th century. The rear typically includes a maker’s mark and a loop or shank for attachment. This button provides insight into British military dress regulations and the heraldic traditions that reinforce unit identity within the British Army. It serves as a relevant example for collectors and historians studying military uniforms and regimental history.
