The CAF piece is a collar badge. Looks to me to be the Centennial issue made in the 50's, could we see the back?
The brass Maple Leaf badge is for the Royal Canadian Naval Air Service Other Ranks. The officer's badge is the same brass but with sterling silver overlay on the wings and crown, with the anchor being a separate sterling piece riveted through the badge. There is also a super rare RCNAS qualified Aeroplane and Airship Pilot Wing for this set....Copper/bronze with sterling overlay in the same fashion.
The Chaplain's badge with the lugs is definitely a collar badge, issued wartime up to the 50's, where they were replaced by small gilt collars with no black cross.
Some nice finds!
