    I dont know for sure but I would doubt it has very much value. You might want to check in the militaria forum (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1003) a picture showing the type and condition would probably get a more specific reply. You could also check the closing prices of that item in ebay sales.

    The Leinster Regiment was one of the Irish regiments to be disbanded in 1922 when Ireland became a free state,the likely hood is the button is world war one or pre world war one
