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 — Belozersky infantry regiment

• from 1829 to 1833 — the 17th regiment of Chasseurs

• from 1829 to 1833 — St. Petersburg Uhlan regiment

• from 1833 to 1851 — the Borisoglebsk Lancer regiment

• from 1833 to 1856 — the Yelets infantry regiment

• from 1833 to 1856 — Bryansk regiment of Chasseurs

• from 1851 to 1862 — Novomirgorod Lancer regiment

• from 1856 to 1862 — Archangel (Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich) infantry regiment

• from 1856 to 1862 — Seversk Dragoon regiment

• from 1858 to 1862 — the 17th of the Caucasian Linear battalion
