Each button features a finely engraved fox hunting scene—a running fox above an elegant script monogram “PRC.” The reverse of each is clearly stamped “FIRMIN LONDON.” Importantly, this set retains the original detachable cotter pins, used to secure the buttons to a uniform or livery coat—confirming they have not been converted and remain in authentic, original configuration.
