Until failed to detect any other information about the specific differences of buttons with the same numbers belonging to different parts of the army.

In addition, during the period of use of buttons with the rooms have repeatedly changed the numbering of the parts that even more confusing to the process definition.

Buttons with numbers and alphanumeric images were entered in units in the Russian army in December 1829. Not yet managed to find any information about the specific differences of buttons with the same numbers belonging to different parts of the army. Graphic figures (with tail, no tail, straight, tilted, etc...) can hardly be used for attribution, as some differences could make the manufacturers of buttons. In addition, during the period of use of buttons with numbers was repeatedly changed the numbering of parts, which further confuses the identification process. In June 1862, most likely due to significant (more than 2 times) increase in the number of army regiments, numbers and letters on the buttons were abolished and the uniforms were sewed smooth buttons without a pattern. The button could wear the lower ranks of the following regiments and units of the RIA:

• from 1829 to 1833 — the 12th regiment of Chasseurs


• from 1829 to 1830 — 4th Ukrainian Uhlan regiment


• from 1829 to 1833 — Belarusian the Prince of orange hussars


• from 1829 to 1833 — Velikolutsky infantry regiment


• from 1829 — 12th Orenburg line battalion


• from 1829 — 12th Siberian Linear battalion


• from 1830 to 1833 — Elisavetgrad lancers


• from 1833 to 1835 — Odessa Uhlan regiment


• from 1833 to 1835 — Alexandria hussar regiment


• from 1833 to 1856 — Simbirsk regiment of Chasseurs


• from 1833 to 1856 field Marshal the Duke of Wellington infantry regiment


• from 1833 to 1856 — the Nizhny Novgorod infantry regiment


• from 1835 to 1851 — Siberian Uhlan regiment
