Button Help.

Is this one of those modern blazer buttons that looks like an old one?

I should have said. All WWI tunic combat uniform buttons are painted black. Gold gilt are for dress uniforms worn at formal gatherings. Sorry my bad.

It's a alloyed,so brass or bronze.Depends on rather it's mixed with zinc(for brass),(or tin for bronze) and that could get hard to say in some cases.
Take care,
