6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons uniform button, 25mm size, executed in brass and associated with this historic cavalry regiment of the British Army. This button features the regiment’s recognised device in clear relief, incorporating a castle and number “6” below, all set within a scalloped-bordered field and produced in brass consistent with nineteenth and early twentieth-century cavalry uniform fittings.
The 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons, also known as the Inniskillings, were a distinguished Irish cavalry regiment with a long history of service in major campaigns, including the Napoleonic Wars and later imperial conflicts. The harp motif reflects Irish heritage, while the crown denotes service under the British sovereign during periods such as the reign of Queen Victoria and subsequent monarchs. Buttons of this type were worn on tunics and dress uniforms, forming an integral part of regimental identity.
Manufactured in brass with a loop shank fitting to the reverse, this example provides a well-defined representation of British cavalry insignia. Inniskilling Dragoons buttons are collected as examples of cavalry memorabilia, Irish regimental history, and British Army uniform components.
