Arrow Submarines lapel badge and CG?

Good day folks

Here are pictures of a Submarines lapel badge - OCA = Old comrades Association perhaps? Any thoughts? Stamped James Walker London

Ignore the second one one just found good pictures of Coast Guard badges.

Many thanks

Spot on! This is indeed an early Submarines Old Comrades Association badge. The dates indicate that the wearer would have served in submarines at some time between those years. This badge exists in two forms - with or without a King's Crown on the top. I have been unable to confirm the reason for the difference. I have also seen similar badges with the dates '1902-1930'. The first branch of the Submarines Old Comrades Association wasn't formed until 1930.
