Royal Warwickshire Regiment officer quality button (1901–1935 pattern), 25mm example of British Army regimental uniform insignia associated with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. This officer’s pattern dates from the reign of Edward VII through the early reign of George V, covering the Edwardian period and the years leading into the interwar era.
The button design features the regiment’s distinctive device in relief beneath the appropriate King’s Crown for the period, together with regimental titles. Officer-quality buttons were produced to a higher manufacturing standard than other ranks’ examples, with finer detail and a superior finish intended for service dress and formal uniform wear.
Buttons of this type were worn on officers’ tunics and outer uniform garments, serving both a practical fastening role and as a visible symbol of regimental identity and commissioned rank. The 25mm size corresponds to use on larger uniform garments where prominent buttons were required.
The Royal Warwickshire Regiment traced its origins to the late 17th century and served extensively across imperial campaigns and during the First World War. Uniform insignia from this period reflects the formal traditions and craftsmanship associated with pre-war British Army officer dress.
Manufactured in brass with a shank fitting to the reverse, this example represents a refined piece of British regimental insignia suitable for collectors of military buttons and officer uniform equipment.
