Button Identification

[BonnieDundee]

Perhaps someone in the community can assist me with the identification of
a pouch of buttons that I found in my Grandfathers belongings, there are 19
of them, in the shape of a diamond, with a raised thistle motif, on the back
are these words, Made in England, Trademark, Sword (picture of two crossed swords) Make. They are rather elegant looking buttons.
Still undecided as to which kilt to have made first, Clan MacEwen (family)
or one made up in the Royal Canadian Air force Tartan (I was a member of
the RCAF for 25 yrs) I hope to eventually have both, but...which first.....

Sounds like buttons for a Prince Charlie Jacket.

Do they look like these?



These are the buttons used on Prince Charlie and black Argyle Jackets.

Thanks to the three replies, yes, the buttons are like the photo.
And, "Aye", Blood is Thicker, so I guess, Family Tartan first. thanks
