This Bosun's pipe/call example also came with a RN rating's medal group. Its not named, but he served in the same timeframe as Bailey above, being pensioned in the mid 1920's.

It also has the original long chain.

I expect there were various manufacturers of these calls & thus one would see variants. I don't have a Broad Arrow marked example as yours has.
