    Hi, I'm not an expert on buttons or anything but I think it's definitively british or commonwealth because the eagle on the top of the button looks very simmilar to the eagle used on british/commonwealth air force buttons. But I'm sure someone on the forum will know exactly what it is.
    Best regards,

    It would help to know where it was found.
    I can't say what it is at the moment but I can say for sure that it is not Royal Air Force and does not resemble any British military button I have seen.

    A larger image would be good too. Is that a word or abbreviation at the bottom or just a pattern?

    The eagle in flight motif is not unusual and the central device looks like it might contain a European (ie not British) style Post Horn.

    Regards

    Hello, I would maybe be Italian because of the circular thread on the button.

    The eagle looks like from an Apini unit ( mountain troops).

    It was found in Sicily, what appears to be writing is lightning bolts.

    Looking again the central motif appears to comprise a Fasces running through the centre of a post horn?

    For anyone unaware of the term Fasces;
