Birthday buttons!

[K1DDO1979]

So it's my birthday and was hoping for some good coin finds but the buttons took the show today. I like finding old complete buttons and today I got four. I also got a 1942 silver dime and a 1942 British half penny in the same hole. First time I found one of them type of half penny's. Also got a 1861 Nova Scotia one cent and a toasted holed token. Both seen better days. I also found a nice decorative little copper case that still opens and closes nicely. On they way home I was praying it had something in it because I heard a rattle but it was just dirt. Any IDs on the buttons would be appreciated. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]

Thanks. The one with the powder horn I think is something to do with the queens rifles. Some close to it have a
R B for rifle brigade but this one doesn't. The anchor button is what I'm most interested in so far. I know the old British navy buttons around that age had a crown to separate them from the merchant marines with just the anchor but the banner with the Motto has me stumped. I'd think only military would use a motto like that. I clearly see "gratia" in the middle of the banner. Hope someone chimes in with info and I can take better photos if necessary. The maker on back is something like
M D & co extra gilt.

The bugle button is English, Rifle Volunteers, 1859-1881. Can you post better pics of the other button with "gratia" on it?

Happy birthday and congrats on the cool buttons.

What do the words on either side of 'gratia' say?
