In each angle, a cross hatched triangular area with a raised rim is present. A raised rim is present along the edge of the button head. The reverse of the button is flat with a central ridge, and the base of the integral attachment loop.It has a diameter of 26.39 mm and is 6.02 mm thick. It weighs 9.9 g.The button is a dark grey colour, with an even surface patina.Similar buttons have been recorded on the PAS database including NLM-8FE332 and LIN-4147D2.
