A few examples of King’s and Queen’s Crowns amongst these. The variations are infinite as most were supplied by tailor’s shops up until the 1970s. Red or scarlet backed crowns and pips were worn on Battle Dress and slip-on rank slides etc by many infantry regiments amongst others. Your King’s Crown example looks hand made and early 20th century.
