Royal Irish Fusiliers officer’s gilt uniform button produced to the 1881–1968 pattern, representing the long-established design used throughout the late Victorian period, the First World War, the Second World War, and the early post-war era. This British Army infantry regiment button displays the recognised Royal Irish Fusiliers insignia in clear relief, incorporating the regiment’s French Eagle in a scalloped edge, arranged in a formal and balanced composition typical of British Army officer dress uniform buttons. Manufactured in gilt metal with a polished finish, it reflects the higher-quality construction associated with officer-grade uniform hardware.
Royal Irish Fusiliers buttons of this pattern were intended for wear on officer tunics and ceremonial dress and are collected as examples of British Army officer insignia, Irish regiment militaria, and historic uniform components. The reverse is fitted with a traditional shank fitting for secure attachment.
Condition
Very good overall condition with a bright gilt finish and mild surface wear. Relief detailing remains sharp and clearly defined, and the reverse shank is intact and secure. No damage, repairs, or alterations are evident.
