Challenge # 89: Buttons

As a military item collector, and also collector of buttons......someone I knew gave these two buttons to me. He said his father was in the navy during WWII, and the navy uniform button was his, and the he aquired the nazi uniform button during combat. I guess these could have also fit the antique catagory as well.
The scanner seems to brighten the image a bit....as I believe the color looks a little better in person....a little darker, as I had spent a considerable amount of time trying to get the tarnished, or bronzed color of the buttons. The scanner just brightened up the dark areas way too much. Perhaps I might take a photo instead.
This was done with ink and watercolor pencils.
