These are most likely livery buttons but I saw one very similar that was being called a coast guard button. If they are indeed livery buttons why would they have an arm and sword? Maybe family crest? Thanks!

Backmark ? I believe its either a fraternal order or organization or possibly a blazer button , Drew .

Thanks so much guys!!:notworthy: I guess its a "fashion button." Oddly, my buttons arms and swords face the opposite way. Waterbury Button is now in Cheshire lol.
