Description: | A cast, possibly lead alloy, military button showing a 3 and G with a thistle between, within a multi-stranded star. This signifies the 3rd Foot Guards (became the Scots Fusilier Guards in 1831).This is a second pattern for the Scots Guards, this design is believed to have come into use around 1790 and as a pewter version it will be for the other ranks. The style did not last terribly long and was changed to the Order of the Thistle with a crown which they then used until 1881.
