Looking to buy an original pair of the very small Machine Gun Corps cap buttons, been looking for a few the last couple of years without luck and need them to finish of a cap I have for living history purposes. If anyone has any they'd be willing to sell or know of anyone selling some I'd be interested to hear from you.

Never seen them Andrew. Do they definitely exist? I've got some Regimental button sets that never had those produced.
If you've access to some originals, it might be worth getting some cast up. They'd probably sell a few sets to cover costs.

They do exist, but the only pair I've ever heard of had already been attached to a reproduction trench cap, and although the owner was selling the cap they wouldn't part with the buttons on their own. I've got quite a number of large/medium originals, and know someone who makes excellent copies of badges/buttons, but without an original small sized button to work from in the first place he can't do it. Catch 22 situation.
