Upper Canada College Rifles Button Lot of 8

This lot consists of eight uniform buttons from the Upper Canada College Rifles, a Canadian militia unit historically associated with Upper Canada College in Toronto, Ontario. The buttons are constructed of brass and feature the regimental emblem, which typically includes military motifs and the college crest. These items were used on dress uniforms, serving both functional and decorative purposes. Each button reflects the formal attire standards of Canadian school-based rifle corps during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The diameter, fastening mechanism, and surface markings correspond to period-appropriate military uniform specification. Such buttons are of interest for collectors of Canadian military memorabilia and those studying the history of military schools in Canada. The set provides historical context for the traditions and visual identity of student military organizations. They present moderate wear consistent with age, displaying patina and other minor surface changes expected from original issue items.
