Looks like a later button but the armoured arm holding a Mace is throwing me off.. Cool finds!Looking for more information on this button. Typically the flat buttons I dig are plain/seldom decorative. I discovered a new site out in the fields today, these buttons being my best finds.
Thanks in advance!

Agreed, as a ballpark, most of these type of Livery Buttons are circa 1830s.Neat livery button from the 1800s. I don't immediately recognise which family the crests are for, but will do a bit of checking unless someone nails it in the meantime.
Compare to some of the examples shown here, although it's not a comprehensive list:

It's also possible it might be a fantasy livery button for someone with pretensions of grandeur and not for a particular family. Buttons of that type were sometimes cobbled together using generic heraldic crests borrowed from elsewhere.
Nice findsLooking for more information on this button. Typically the flat buttons I dig are plain/seldom decorative. I discovered a new site out in the fields today, these buttons being my best finds.
