This example is in excellent'issued' condition with some light wear; the white specks are dust on the scanner. As you can see from the side images, there is a tiny flaw on one side of the collar surrounding the base of the shank, but the shank is straight and solidly attached.
The backmark is easily legible and the button has an attractive dark brown aged hard rubber patina, particularly on the front where it likely saw sun from wartime service. These officers' buttons are exceptionally hard to find; this is only the second specimen we've seen in over 25 years of collecting.
