Royal Hampshire Regiment Officer Button (1881-1992 Pattern) – 19.5mm

The button design features the regiment’s distinctive device of a royal tiger and a Hampshire rose in a wreath. The gilt brass construction reflects traditional British military uniform manufacture, intended for regular polishing and long service use.

Buttons of this type were worn on tunics and other uniform garments by officers and enlisted personnel of the Royal Hampshire Regiment, serving both a practical fastening function and as a visible indicator of regimental identity.

The Royal Hampshire Regiment traced its lineage to earlier Hampshire infantry regiments and served extensively throughout the British Empire, the First World War, and World War II. Regimental insignia from such a long service period remain widely collected within British militaria.

Manufactured in gilt brass with a shank fitting to the reverse, this example represents a classic piece of British regimental uniform hardware suitable for display or collection.
