A source recommended by local re-enactors is Jas. Townsend & Son.
http://www.jastown.com/newhome.htm
Their catalog is on-line and includes pewter buttons in 2 sizes.
I believe that a thistle design is available (I used such a button
on the shirt my husband wears with his kilt when we dance in 1750's
costume) although it does not say. To quote their home page:

To recieve a catalog by regular mail call us at 1-219-594-5852
FAX: 1-219-594-5580
or send your request by mail to:

or Email your request to xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx
