Metropolitan Police Dockyard Divisions
Hi Mike
When I first saw the cap I thought it was for an officer too, but the combination of number/anchor/crown worn on the collar was only worn by constables and sergeants. No officer would have worn a collar number. Also I have looked at numerous pictures of officer grade members of the Metropolitan Police from the late-19th century and have not found one wearing a similar cap with such a distinctive peak.
