5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards brass uniform button produced for wear on British Army cavalry regiment dress and service uniforms. This military button displays the 5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards insignia in clear relief, incorporating the regiment’s distinctive Enniskillen Castle device, “V /DG,” and the motto “Vestigia nulla retrorsum” (Latin: We do not retreat) in a composition typical of 20th-century British Army uniform buttons. Manufactured in brass with a polished surface, it reflects the standard construction and finish associated with British cavalry uniform hardware.
5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards buttons of this type were intended for wear on tunics and ceremonial dress and are collected as examples of British Army cavalry militaria, Irish regiment insignia, and historic uniform components. The reverse is fitted with a traditional shank fitting for secure attachment.
Condition
Very good overall condition, retaining an even brass finish with minimal surface wear. Relief detail remains sharp and clearly defined, and the reverse shank is intact and secure. No damage, repairs, or alterations are evident.
