    You might google up Civil War outfitters. My favorite, Grand Illusions, has closed down. But there are others.

    Think I've seen harp buttons used on Union Army uniforms for some of the Irish regiments out of New York.

    Good Luck,

    If these are for a formal jacket, I would advise against brass uniform buttons.

    I want to say thank you for all the input. The three feather link was great and the prices were really reasonable. I may try to convert some jackets and change the button to an irish motif
