[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 515997, member: 8767"] Wally69 Could you send me a link to that picture please ? You may have the same site that she found for that button, but we have also seen another design on a repro coat in a UK museum, I sense that sometimes the buttons may be slightly different when a repro item is put together as they are representative and minor detail is over looked. I will post all that in the next few weeks, to show her path of discovery, pretty good for a teen. I did hand over to Kato a pewter rhino from a Zoo Animal set that was assessed as being from the 1870's, I found it about 3 feet under the sand on a beach where the light house, at the Nth Western end of KI, would have boats land and supplies would be carried up the waiting cart to then go about 1km to the light house. The little sail boat thing has more corrosion on it, and it rings so I'm thinking brass now, it is likely to end up in my stainless steel tumbler after a small scrap in a hidden spot to check. pretty sure it is modern-ish key tag now. Even if silver it will come out pretty smick from the tumbler. :) [/QUOTE]
