Quote: Original Silver Plate Livery Button, with the heraldic design of a demi-lion holding a fitched cross crosslet, all on a torse.
Gwen Squire, in the book 'Livery Buttons, The Pitt Collection', identifies this button (with the lion holding the cross in this particular manner) as belonging to the Berry family.
This button was from the Jennens/Gaunt 1820-1830s Pattern Book archive, purchased via the National Army Museum auction.
Backmark: 'Best Quality. M. S. & J. D.' M. Smith and John Dolan of Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, were in partnership between 1823 and 1824 only. Diameter: 24mm, with an open back and its original intact shank.
