Alex,
In the excellent book "Badges of The Empires Waggoners" it illustrates collar badges dating from 1919 to 1936 of the gilt and enamel type like yours.
It further states that Officers Mess dress collars were made in a smaller size and had a distinctly domed size.
However it doesnt give any measurements but measuring the badges in the book which I think are actual size I can say that the gilt/enamel mess dress collars are 35mm high whilst the gilt/enamel collars off other dress (presume blues) are 40 mm high.
Are yours 35mm or 40mm?
regards
