Do you want the pewter enlisted buttons that were issued for a few years back during the 70s?

The link is below. Go to the right of the top of the page and your buttons are there. I believe it is the Military spec. silver oxide button, but I'm not positive.
You will need to know the size in inches of the buttons you want, and then convert to a ligne size. I used to know how to do it, but that is water under the bridge. I can probably figure it out, though. If you know how, let me know to save me some brain cell useage.
I just measured one of my buttons, and it comes to right at 1".

OK, I figured it out. A 1" button is a 40 ligne. Good luck.
And an ancillary question: why do you want the metal buttons instead of the plasitc anchor buttons?

Thank You
And Wolfe meant to say: "Thank you for taking the time to research and find the site that carries these difficult to locate buttons. To navigate the site to find the appropriate style button. To determine which of the buttons was the correct color and the appropriate material. To find the appropriate peacoat in your collection and to measure the inch size of the silver button on that peacoat. And finally, thank you for taking even more time to convert the inch size to the ligne size so I could order the appropriate button for my coat.
And I would have said: "You are welcome."
