Grenadier Guards brass button (George V, 1910–1936 pattern), a 22mm example of British Army Foot Guards uniform insignia associated with the Grenadier Guards. This pattern corresponds to the reign of George V, identifiable by the King’s Crown used during the period.
The button design features the regiment’s distinctive device in relief, incorporating the Grenadier Guards’ flaming grenade emblem beneath the cypher of George V and the King’s crown. The brass construction reflects traditional manufacture, providing a durable finish that would have required regular polishing to maintain its appearance.
Buttons of this type were worn on tunics and other items of uniform, serving both a functional fastening role and as a clear indicator of regimental affiliation. The 22mm size corresponds to use on standard service dress garments.
The Grenadier Guards, one of the senior regiments of Foot Guards in the British Army, have a long and distinguished history, and their insignia is widely recognised within military collecting.
Manufactured in brass with a shank fitting to the reverse, this example represents a classic piece of early 20th-century British military uniform hardware.
