Dating and Verification
These buttons are identified as WWI-era based on their design featuring the British Royal Coat of Arms, standard for General Service uniforms from 1914 to 1918. The presence of a maker's mark on one button helps confirm their authenticity. The corrosion and rust are consistent with items excavated after long-term burial, further supporting their age and provenance.
