Nothing to do with the Rev War other than its contemporary with the period.

PS. It's not even a Tudor Rose which has 5 petals not 4.

Wide range of dates, though.

Tudor rose sounded nice though...the one unidentified piece almost looks like a toy rifle to me..
Nice assortment of finds with a great time period...

I've found the exact cufflink. I call mine a Tudor Rose too. Look at the GW button site, halfway down the page:

1757-1774 Royal Navy Captain Octagonal Cuff Link, that is it exactly.

If you want to believe that site then crack on. (there are lots of known errors)
https://finds.org.uk/database/search/results/objecttype/CUFF+LINK/description/silver/show/100
Above is the official site for UK finds run by the British Museum, look at ALL the silver cuff-links with your design & NONE of them are going to connect them with the Navy. (If it were documented or referenced anywhere it would be recorded on this system, which it is not)
Because it was a popular Civilian design that was used in the 18th C on many objects, none of which had Military connections. Other than if an individual Military person decided to buy them.

One of the oblivious clues are the many variations in the rose/flower design, which wouldn't happen on military items (other than pattern variations over time, which these are not, as they all coexisted).

Man, that is a sharp button. Big time find. Nicely done!
