Just seeking clarification on these 2 buttons as it is not an area I am versed in.
They were ground found some years ago near Russell in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand.
Members of the 58th Rutlandshire Foot Regiment were in this area from 1845 to 1858 fighting the local Maoris in the Northland area of New Zealand. These 2 buttons were both found in the Russell area but at different times. With the 58th button it is different from 58th buttons shown online. Is it still from this Regiment? Also the Artillery button has 3 cannons and the word "Ubique" underneath. What period was this button used?
Many thanks!
