Hi acquired from an antique shop in Aberdeenshire , miss out on the rest ( Gutted )

Some Balmoral buttons are silver i think done by a local silversmith , some of mine have no markings some are by Jennens & co London . i have no doubt the buttons are correct , Some photos of the bits i missed

I don't think that any of the buttons were silver. There was 34 uniforms made in 1903 in which the silverwork was done by Robb of Ballater. There is at least one surviving earlier outfit with silverwork done by Kirkwood that is superior and which Robb used as a guide.
