Military Buttons?

[OxShoeDrew]

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 .
