Rob,

The right hand one is 9th [West Middlesex] Middlesex Rifle Volunteers. The two headed eagle & cyrillic letters back mark on the other one suggest Imperial Russia maybe?

What is the lettering on the front of the left hand button please? Worth a Google translation?

They do seem to be Russian letters, not sure where to start?

I'm taking the design to be of plant stems, leaves and a flower rather a sun burst?
If it is a sun burst I'd go out on a limb and say possibly a Serbian/Kosovan design.

steps:
1. take a good picture of the button
2. open Microsoft Word
3. find the Symbols
4. find each cyrillic letter and type it.
5. feed the text to Google translation

Alternatively:
1. same
2. cut out the part with the scroll
3. feed the picture to an OCR engine recognising cyrillic e.g. Abbyy.
4. feed the text to Google translation

good luck

The Orders of Empress Mary

Description of the uniforms of Department of Empress Maria in the position of 1834 was as follows:


"Uniform management of Institutions of Empress Maria remains... the same cut and shape, i.e.: dark green cloth, no pocket flaps, with black velvet collar and cuffs, with blue edging.

The Orders of Empress Mary were divided into five grades, depending on the ranks of the posts in terms of the number of uniforms embroidered with gold.Thus, in the photo, Isaac Neporent stands in the uniform of the Office of the Empress Mary's institutions of dark green cloth, with black velvet collar and cuffs, with blue edging. Gold embroidery, half-only on the collar.

There is no sewing on the sleeves and cuffs. The embroidery is made up of vine and palm branches, as gold embroidery made up on the uniforms of Orphanages and subordinate places of oak and palm branches. Buttons are gilded, with the image of a Pelican feeding Chicks. On the uniforms of the Society of Noble maidens and other Institutions of grape and palm branches, buttons are gilded, with the image of growing grapes, with the sun shining and the inscription: "Visit this vineyard."

In November 1896, full-dress uniforms (half-kaftans) The departments of the institutions was the custom on the uniforms of the Society of Gentlewomen and other Institutions. Buttons are gilded, with the image of growing grapes, with the sun shining and the inscription: "Visit this vineyard."
