old button

[kujawski]

digging in the garden, today, and found an old button, about 2cm diameter, Initialed "S.R" on the front, and the words "special quality" on the back, looks quite oldish, any one any ideas if its a military button of some sort? looks like its made rfom brass/bronze/copper of some sort

which puts it within a precise time bracket of 1923 - 47, apparently! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Railway_(Great_Britain)
