Cheers for the replies and images from Owens book showing the different sizes. of cap and collar.
Would I be correct in assuming the gilding metal example I have ( 37mm x 30mm ) is a collar?
Thanks.

Attached is an image of 2 RNVR CPO collar & cuff.
The collar on the left with only 1 star is something of a mystery.
Do any RN collectors have any thoughts on this.
Thank you.

Hi GTB, not sure what to make of it. Star should be above the axe/hammer and as you indicate it is a 5 point not 6.

Hi all, I wonder is our RN guru's could identify the pictured trade badge.
It is smaller in size than an arm badge so more than likely CPO lapel.
