Default Button on buff coat.

Hi, I'm new here. Can any one identify this button? It appears to be a Baron's coronet above a man holding a flail or cat o' nine tails, over a Knight's tortillon. It may not be military, of course. It is on a buff coat with black collar and cuffs.

welcome to the forum. It looks like a livery button to me, I am sure the button collectors will be able to help.

Alan's right, it's not military but a livery button as worn on the coats of some household staff of the nobility, landed gentry and so on.

You could try looking on this site or even emailing them for an identification - https://sites.google.com/site/liverybuttonsidentified/

Default Thank you for your help.

The Livery website recommended here illustrates a similar button as the livery of Baron Stourton. Thanks again.
