Set of 2 Duke of Wellington’s West Riding Regiment Buttons

This set of 2 The Duke of Wellington’s (West Riding Regiment) buttons represents an excellent example of original British military insignia from one of the most respected infantry units in the United Kingdom. These Duke of Wellington’s Regiment buttons carry the distinguished lion crest and the scroll “THE WEST RIDING,” both of which are highly recognizable symbols among collectors of historical British militaria.

The set includes two authentic uniform buttons of different sizes, traditionally used on tunics and military coats. Despite their age, both buttons retain strong detail in the raised regimental emblem, with appealing wear and patina that confirm long-term service use. This honest aging adds depth and authenticity, making them even more desirable for serious collectors.

On the reverse side, each button preserves its original shank, fully intact and securely attached—an important detail for evaluating genuine period military uniform components. These artifacts would have been worn by enlisted soldiers of The Duke of Wellington’s Regiment, a unit with a long and storied heritage dating back to the early 18th century and active in many major British military campaigns.

Whether you’re building a collection centered on British regiments, studying uniform history, or simply appreciate authentic artifacts from the Victorian or early 20th-century military era, this pair of Duke of Wellington’s Regiment buttons is a meaningful and historically grounded acquisition. They display beautifully and offer both educational and collectible value.
