Re: Livery buttons
It's a MARKHAM family livery button.

The pic is from the 1815 book "Elven's Heraldry".

Re: Livery buttons
Found this in Waverley, Surrey... I understand it's depicting a lion rampant holding a crown within a wreath with a large crown above. The reverse has the maker's name of CHATWIN & SONS BIRMINGHAM.
any other information, would be most appreciated...

Re: Livery buttons
Hi,
A mate of mine found this today in N Glos area, seems very unusual to me, unlike the usual crested buttons I find anyway but I have faith that team Kev/Dave will sort it!!
I've hijacked our club forum for the photo so unable to re-shoot it, however we have a club meeting tomorrow night so can ask to borrow it for better shots if you feel it's necessary and will help to ID.
Thanks in advance, Andy
