Default Help with buttons and "T's"

I have a couple of buttons that I am not sure of, one is a livery button which I think originates from the Bedford area, the other is white metal with a crown in the middle.

Also two very small "T's", one S/gilt and the other G/gilt. Obviously from the TF days, but smaller than normal, any thoughts?

The letter "T's" are from a Full Dress shoulder knot.

Default "T's"

Many thanks Marc, they are considerably smaller than the collar "T's".

And they are made to look embroidered, the letter "M" came in the same style and size.

The plain brass "T"`s come in a variety of sizes.The Liverpool Scottish were a battalion who`s officers during WW1 often wore just a "T" on the collar with no actual collar badge. The 5th Kings officers at one stage in WW2 wore blackened "T`s only on the collar.

P.B.
