Historical Cufflinks

World War I (1914-18) Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry Commemorative Cufflinks

These are a beautiful pair of cufflinks made with genuine British Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry buttons from the era of the First World War, over 105 years ago. This pair of cufflinks is made from two mess-dress, two-part, gilt & silver officers' buttons. The regiment served right through the First World War, on the Western Front and in the Balkans. The cufflinks are made with a swivel back with an attractive diamond pattern on the swivel. They are made using smaller mess-dress buttons from a waistcoat, perfect in size for small cufflinks and are 16 mm in diameter.

They represent a unique part of British and First World War history. The gilt & silver buttons have been carefully cleaned to retain the original character of the buttons which are over 105 years old, whilst highlighting the beautiful details of these original buttons.

This is a truly unique gift and buying a chance to own a small piece of history lovingly restored and made into a beautiful pair of cufflinks. They are presented in a luxury wooden cufflink box and cardboard cover to make them the perfect present.
