Royal Air Force Button

Material: Gilt brass with field wear revealing the brass base
Diameter: 25 mm
Description: The face of this 25mm gilded uniform piece depicts an eagle flying with its wings fully spread, soaring proudly beneath a highly detailed Queen's Crown. Strikingly embossed into the domed surface, the design incorporates a smooth rim that frames the central heraldic elements used for decades on ceremonial and everyday dress tunics. Stamped securely on the reverse is the authoritative maker mark "Gaunt London", confirming it was produced by the renowned button makers J.R. Gaunt & Son Ltd, featuring a robust brass backing plate and a firmly attached metal loop shank meant for durable uniform installation.
