Help With I.D. Old British Flat Button

[Fentonian]

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!

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.

Looks like a later button but the armoured arm holding a Mace is throwing me off.. Cool finds!

Bullivant & Timpson were button makers in Great Charles Street, Birmingham, recorded in the trade directories from 1818 through to the very early 20th century. Dates for Bullivant's solo mark are uncertain but all the military buttons with his backmark that I've seen have Queen Victoria's cypher (so not later than 1901 and likely 1800s).

Agreed, as a ballpark, most of these type of Livery Buttons are circa 1830s.
