Default Naval related Insignia and Buttons

Hello again. I wonder if anyone could identify the badge and the buttons, I was thinking maybe that the top left button might be indian navy ?

The button on top right would that be Bombay Shipping Company

The button at the bottom may not be naval, it has the spero dum spiro on it

Thank you for any thoughts or information you can give

Tara

Hi

Button at top left is usually designated as Indian Marine & Royal Indian Navy (c. 1877 - 1947). I've seen another designation for it somewhere but can't remember what.

The badge is italian: it is a "distintivo per la navigazione in guerra" ("badge for wartime service at sea").
It comes in different models depending on the type of ship and the length of service at sea.
It was introduced in 1943.

Regards.

- identifications for top right & bottom given, but then I realised this question is for selling these items on e-bay
no thanks, good luck selling unidentified buttons.
