BUTTON IDENTIFICATION REQUESTED

The button illustrated below was found during metal-detecting on ploughed farmland in Purse Caundle during 2009. It is metal, one inch diameter, with a rampant lion and a spread-winged bird (eagle?) embossed on the obverse; whilst the reverse has an attached eye for sewing onto a garment, and what appears to be the lettering
ANOYE
GENTS



Can anyone please assist by identifying this button? It could be a huntsman's as this is fox-hunting country
