Bombay, Political Officer, 25mm

This pattern of royal button was worn by all Political Officers in the Bombay Presidency and by some grades elsewhere in India and some Royal Household staff at home. The use of the tudor style king’s crown identifies this example as being Edwardian or from the reign of his son George V.  This is a very good, well made example of the large sized 25mm button with backmark C.PITT & Co. . LONDON W. It retains full gilt and has king’s crown.  nov20/4
