It is an Imperial Crown. I have a copy of the actual report requesting the crown. Also if any body has any old photos of the BHP I would be very grateful to obtain a copy of same. I also have a BHP medal which was instituted in 1946 for gallantry and outstanding service. The gallantry medal has an anchor on the ribbon.

Can I ask where you have obtained this information from. In particular the info. relating to the large 8 pointed star which you date as 1825 to 1890? You say this is a cap badge...
