| The Clothing Warrant of 1768 ordered buttons to have the regimental number. Only the dragoon guards were to have the initials of their royal titles. The use of initials combined with the numeral was later extended to all royal dragoon regiments, and later still to the other regiments. The 10th Dragoons had no other title until 1783 so this button was worn on officers’ coats from c1770 to 1783. It is slightly convex, 24mm in diameter and made of base metal covered in silver. |
