£22.00

72nd Foot, Duke of Albany’s Own Highlanders, an example of the 25mm officer’s gilt button of the pattern worn between 1855 and 1881, when it became the 1st Bn. The Seaforth Highlanders (Ross-shire Buffs, The Duke of Albany’s Own). The backmark is SMITH, KEMP & WRIGHT BIRMINGHAM and the button shows signs of a Highlander’s over keen polishing, more approved of by sergeant majors than collectors. oct29/7
