I am looking for a set of good quality Pewter Block I buttons, they seem to be hard to come by. I have found some made by The Button Baron, do any of you know if these are good buttons or can suggest where I could find a good set?
 
I don't know where you can get some repops but for reference here is one I dug from my collection.

I don't think they have coat size Block I's but Regimental Quartermaster has the pewter buttons:


There really isn't a good reproduction of the pewter buttons as far as I know. Originals tend to have fatter and better defined letters.
 
No all the ones I found in the camps here were either tin back or solid cast brass I's.
