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!

:lol: :shocked05:that's it exactly!! No backmark...I'm going to call them Monday, see if they know what this button is used for. How'd you find that? You're amazing!!!
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.
You have the extremely rare left handed versions Drew. ;)
