Found some cool buttons are they special?

Hey guys and gals,
I found these two buttons a couple of days ago and was wondering if there is anything special about either of them. I tried to get a good a picture as possible but its still a little blurry.

Hi!
1st looks WW1 to me.
2nd is almost the same as WW2 kriegsmarine button, I don't know what are official variations. The maker "Paris" is a bit problematic

I found some information on the first button. http://www.buttoncrs.com/patentsfr.html

The anchor on the Naval button doesn't look like a KM pattern one. I'm thinking that it is also French, but I've not got an example to show I'm afraid.

Kind Regards,
Simon.

2nd button is a French naval button, not sure about age but either of the World Wars I think. First one looks a lot like a Napoleonic-era Grenadier button. Only problem is that loop isn't quite like the one French usually used.

Thanks for the replies. I will put these in with my other keepers. Hopefully I will be able to dig up some more info on them.

First pictured is a Fusiliers button I believe.
