Army Medical Staff brass uniform button produced to the 1884–1898 pattern, representing the design used during the late Victorian period before the formation of the Royal Army Medical Corps. This British Army medical service button displays the recognised Army Medical Staff insignia in clear relief, incorporating the corps emblem and star of garter arranged in a formal and balanced composition typical of 19th-century British military uniform buttons. Manufactured in brass with a polished surface, it reflects the standard construction and finish associated with Victorian-era British Army dress and service uniform hardware.
Army Medical Staff buttons of this pattern were intended for wear on tunics and uniform garments by medical personnel and are collected as examples of British Army medical corps militaria, pre-RAMC insignia, and historic uniform components. The reverse is fitted with a traditional shank fitting for secure attachment.
Condition
Acceptable overall condition, with heavy surface wear. Relief detail remains somewhat visible and defined, and the reverse shank is intact and secure. No damage, repairs, or alterations are evident.
