All 3 pieces are of white metal, very thin but quite strong. Attachment via wires. The cross badge appears fairly regular on the market in South Africa, the Victorian crown less frquently and the wreath is almost impossible to find.

The wreath is from an oddfelows badge See pics - the feathers in centre of one are attached with 4 wires bent over as clips.regards John.
