I like the top example in particular, a very typical brevet, the classic shape, from their introduction (you get some rather big, bold, strange looking examples once out of the 1920's with huge crowns) and worn by all those officers who wore their dress tunics until 1939, not all actually did and on occasion afterwards, post war, by a very small number of pre war officers., very difficult to date though, unless, you know the original owner and even then, you could have something made in the 1920's but bought and subsequently worn in the 1930's.
