All these buttons are marked FLL for Friederich Linden & Co of Ludenscheid. They would have been worn by shore-based units such as the coastal artillery on the Atlantic Wall and shore based flak batteries at St Nazaire, etc. I recently had a 1944 pattern tunic with these buttons on.
There is minimal wear to the paintwork on the highligts, but they are ex-stores pieces. One shank was badly bent so I have straightened it out.
These buttons are priced at ?15 each (?95 the lot) and measure 21mm across. They would appear, from the reverse, to be made of kriegsmetal (zinc based).
If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.
