Default Horn collars, orientation?

When the horn is used as a device for collars, which end of the horn should be facing in? The large end, or the mouthpiece?

Mouthpiece inwards ( towards the wearers face ) . As with all matters connected with the military there may be exceptions to the rule !

Of course it is not completely unknown for officers to wear their collar badges the wrong way round.

P.B.

That's because they don't have the same incentive to obey dress regulations as the rank and file.
