A "Firmin" Cap Motto & collar..... not rare. The flat spot in the right eye and the rounder hip ends is indicative of a "good" later type in the cap motto.

Below is an earlier "good" type:-

G'day Tommy

The collar motto looks to be one of the early flat types, later ones are more rounded in the skull, this one has N S lugs where as most of the later ones have E W lugs. This type of collar comes in white metal and gilding metal.

Regards

Phil.
