Any guesses???

I found these buttons while metal detecting here in Germany. I live on the western side so these could be German, Belgium, French, Luxembourg or who knows I'm not good at researching buttons and honestly do not know where to start so I was hoping I would get lucky and see if y'all know the possible date(s) and origin for these.

I can take backside photos if anybody needs them or include dimensions if that helps too. Thanks for looking!

Few more

The first photo shows some buttons from American WWII utility uniforms.
The second & third photo shows a tiny button which is only 1.3 cm in diameter.
The fourth & fifth photo shows a nice black flat button and its backside as well.

Any ideas on identification for the last two buttons? Thanks for looking.

The fourth picture on the first post is a livery button.

Thanks for the ID on my lion button Ekeisler. However, I contacted an expert about that particular button and he claims since the button does not have a torse under the lion (the rope like line) it is most likely a fashion button for a jacket and not a livery button. Go figure that one! It's amazing the differences on these unique buttons. Definitely neat.

I have a feeling the majority of the buttons shown here are for fashion too.

The last photo is the back of a one-piece flat button that looks to be by far the oldest... based on it's one piece construction and the style of shank.
