The 30 button looks like early 1800's rifleman's button but not sure.

I looked in Albert's Button Book and while I saw some similar Navy buttons I did not see the exact ones.

i'm sure this type of shank is the key to dating these,bird cage style shank.i saw similiar buttons for the crimean war but not sure?

i'm pretty sure the navy buttons are victorian in age ( 1850's an up) and the 30th regiment button looks post revolutionary war era to me maybe 1790's to maybe 1810 era and is probably the most collectible out of the three.
he didn't give you any info on the ebay page or in a email??
