Military Heritage Buttons
This vast collection of reproduction military buttons have been designed and engineered by Twist Miniature Design as an alternative to the poor quality buttons presently on the market. The majority of reproduction buttons made for the reenactment hobby are inferior in many respects to originals:
they are molded with bubbles and other flaws
details are not crisp
they are cast of inferior metals and oxidize quickly to a dark grey
the inferior metals have a lower melting point and in many cases melt at the touch of an iron
For these reasons, all the buttons presented here are made from a superior pewter; moulds are industrially-manufactured; and each sample is spun-cast to create a crisp, proper reproduction. Finally an alternative for the authenticity purist. No more lead pipes melted and poured into a cheap rubber mold in the back of the garage! Whenever possible original buttons (either historical objects or archaeological specimens) have been utilized in the molding process.
Choose from the sections below to find the button you require:
The Napoleonic Wars: France and the United States
The Victorian Era and WW I : Britain and the United States
