The set remains housed in its fitted presentation case, with the maker's name and address printed in gold inside the lid:
London Badge & ButtonKings Meadow Lane, Higham FerrersNorthants, England
An original identification label inside the case reads:
“20. Royal Engineers (gilt)”
The set consists of eight matching Royal Engineers buttons in two sizes, arranged in the fitted black interior.
Each button displays the distinctive Royal Engineers insignia in gilt with colored enamel detailing, including the Royal Engineers motto “UBIQUE,” meaning “Everywhere.”
The Corps of Royal Engineers is one of the historic corps of the British Army. Commonly known as the Sappers, the Royal Engineers have a history stretching back centuries and have served throughout Britain's military campaigns around the world.
This is especially attractive as a complete presentation set rather than a group of loose individual buttons. The original fitted London Badge & Button Co. case and identifying Royal Engineers label add considerably to its display and collecting appeal.
