* SOLIDE * ELEGANT button help

[streptile]

Has anyone ever seen this button on an Imperial German mini?

It reads * SOLIDE * ELEGANT

Many thanks for any help.

Not on a mini but I have seen buttons on uniform clothing with the same markings if that is of any help.

Hi Pauke,

That's a great help, thank you. Was it a German uniform?

"Solide - Elegant " is just a button brand:

I believe Solide * Elegant is original button. Imperial, or Weimar era - I don´t know. I see them quite often on german eBay. I had non-com EK bandschleife with this mini. It was sold via eBay to one forum member.

Hello streptile,
very often to find. Sorry for the bad fotos.

OK, great Bernd. Thank you very much I guess I have tunnel vision on when it comes to minis, and I pay attention only to Godets.

Hello All!
to add more examples and listen your opinions, i received today this brotbeutel.
the buttons are marked with: *solide*Elegant and *mode*deutsche,
i think that this repairs are ww1, and not weimar.....but a great part of this type of buttons that i see are in the weimar era.
What is your opinion?
anyone has find this type of buttons in the battlefield??
thanks a lot.

I have buttons like this on WWII equipment and I believe they were made after WWII as well.
