19th Foot (North Yorkshire Regiment) Georgian Pewter Open Back Tunic Button, c.1820-1830
Circa 18mm in diameter, fixed shank and maker marked "Nutting London". '19' below a Georgian crown.
Apparently a crown was added above the 19 on the post 1820 examples, dating this to between 1820 - 1830. Some heavy scratches to front, although superb condition to reverse, especially the original shank. Rare.
