Default 2 Armoured Car Regt collar

Here is an interesting 2 Armoured Car Regt collar, it is an enamelled type and is quite spectacular. The size is 1 3/8" x 1" across, a little smaller than typical collars. Recently sold from Brent at Command Post on ebay.

Usually officers collars are gilt brass/silver or frosted brass/silver but this one is quite unusual. It looks like it should almost be a sweetheart pin.
I have included the typical collars for comparison.

It's certainly interesting. I can't see it being worn on a uniform as it looks too blingy. As you say, it's more like a sweetheart pin.

I have never seen a similar cap, so I am wondering if this may have been a collar for mess dress?
