I found this today it says Massachusetts on the front I don’t know what it says on the back. Is it Military?

From my research it looks like 1820s militia. The back reads RICH QUALITY LONDON in old English script

In Albert's book, on page 164, number 27 matches your button. The backmark for the one shown says "Rich Quality/London." That's a real nice find you have there sir.
