Scottish Regiments thistle-mounted blazer button, 19mm, an original example of Scottish military-style dress insignia featuring the national emblem of Scotland.
Manufactured in gilt and silver metal, this 19mm blazer button displays the thistle, the enduring national emblem of Scotland, mounted in a traditional design long associated with Scottish regiments. Buttons of this style were commonly worn on blazers, mess dress, regimental association attire, and civilian jackets by serving and former members of Scottish infantry and cavalry regiments, as well as by supporters of Scottish military organisations.
The thistle has been a symbol of Scotland for centuries and has appeared on Scottish military insignia since the eighteenth century. It features prominently in the badges and uniform appointments of many renowned regiments, including the Royal Regiment of Scotland and its predecessor regiments, symbolising loyalty, resilience, and Scottish heritage.
Blazer buttons of this type have traditionally been worn by regimental associations, veterans, cadet organisations, pipe bands, and civilian supporters, providing a smart yet understated means of displaying regimental or national affiliation. Their timeless design has ensured their continued popularity long after changes to military uniform regulations.
Original Scottish military-style blazer buttons remain popular with collectors of British military insignia and are equally suited to restoration projects, replacement of missing uniform fittings, or wear on blazers and ceremonial dress.
Manufactured in gilt and silver metal and retaining its original shank fitting to the reverse, this example represents an attractive and collectable piece of Scottish military heritage.
