Letter to H.C.Marshall M.B.E. dated 24th February 1981:
identifying & sizing, State Registered Nurses button.

Pictures (mine) of the SRN button.
Pictures (mine) of the QVR button.
Of course this is also a useful yardstick for measurements in
general; given that the size they were producing is standard and on a
readily available type gives everyone a baseline for converting to
metric and has obvious application for dating buttons by size alone- if
it's not a standard metric size it was probably created using lines.
Unfortunately this has to be done for each individual company since
there was no universal cut off date.
Letter to H.C.Marshall M.B.E. dated 27th February 1981:
identifying & dating, Queen Victoria Rifles button; dating,
State Registered Nurses button.
