Devonshire Regiment brass button (1901–1953 pattern), 19mm example of British Army uniform insignia associated with the Devonshire Regiment. This pattern spans the reigns of Edward VII, George V, and George VI, identifiable by the use of the King’s Crown prior to 1953.
The button design features the regiment’s distinctive device in relief beneath the King’s Crown, together with regimental titles and decorative detailing reflecting the traditions of this historic county infantry regiment. The brass construction follows standard British military manufacturing practices and was intended for durability and regular polishing.
Buttons of this type were worn on service dress and other uniform garments by officers and enlisted personnel of the Devonshire Regiment, serving both a practical fastening role and as a visible indicator of regimental identity. The 19mm size corresponds to use on smaller uniform areas such as pockets, cuffs, shoulder straps, or lighter garments.
The Devonshire Regiment traced its origins to the late 17th century and served extensively across imperial campaigns and both the First World War and World War II. Regimental insignia from the King’s Crown period remain widely collected for their connection to British military history.
Manufactured in brass with a shank fitting to the reverse, this example represents a classic piece of British regimental uniform hardware suitable for display or collection.
