24th Punjabis (1901-1922 Pattern) Officer’s Tunic Button, King’s Crown (25mm)

A fine 25mm gilt officer’s tunic button from the 24th Punjabis, worn during the period 1901–1922, before the regiment became part of the 14th Punjab Regiment in the great post–WWI reorganisation of the Indian Army. Officer buttons from this unit are sought after for the regiment’s distinguished service and the relatively short time this pattern was in use.
