Default Mural crown collars ?

I picked these collars up this morning thinking I had an idea that I knew who they were worn by but on checking when I got home it was not the unit I thought.

Can anyone please positively identify them.

( not items I will be keeping)

Thanks

P.B.

Thanks Jon,

I wonder why they chose a mural crown as a rank badge ?

Peter

Hi Peter,
I would suggest that the mural crown in this case is linked to the Knights of St John in Malta.
Cheers, Tinto

I don't think the BRCS have any direct link with the St. John in Malta. In any event, the SJAA/SJAB use a different style of Crown.

Dave.
