Uniform Accoutrements of the Queensland Marine Defence Force.

Buttons

I was fortunate to acquire a genuine QMDF Uniform button for the Gayundah website collection.

Obverse:
Features the letters HMQN for “Her Majesty’s Queensland Navy” with a crest of an anchor and crown.

Reverse:
Manufacturer: L.W.JONES & CO, GOLDEN SQUARE, LONDON

It’s possible it’s the same button I saw for sale many years ago, and was silly enough not to purchase at the time.

Found at a market on sale for $50 this button was labelled
“Australia Pre Fed Qld Navy Tunic Button (Her Majesty’s Qld Navy)  Rare $50 1/875 Stall 97”
