Superb, original, largest size made (20 mm/ 3/4 inch) brass button to the North West Mounted Police button of the first distinctive pattern. T...hs "N.W.M.P.-central Victorian crown-CANADA" pattern button was used only from c.1874 to 1880, at which time the familiar "buffalo head centre" button came into use. (Reference: Uniform Buttons of the Mounted Police 1874 -1980", Taylor/Frye 1985.) In this reference, only the 20 mm (3/4 inch) is reported as having been produced; there appears to be no 25 mm (1 inch) button in use. So this is it; the first distinctive NWMP button, in it's largest-produced size and used for only a very few years. Quite simply, the RAREST of all NWMP/RNWMP/RCMP buttons. Maker marked "J.COMPTON. LONDON." Guaranteed to be original and 100 percent correct in all respects.
Shipping. Will ship worldwide. Successful bidder to pay $3 of shipping cost within North America, $5 to all other locations.
