Thank you. I have been searching the internet and found plenty of military(!) pictures for these lion-head cloak clasps. All are WWI Canadian nurses.
A general search shows that these clasps were used by police forces from the Victorian period onwards. May I now assume that the Canadian Nurse's cape origins is a Police cape?
