Two for id
Appreciate help in identifying.
Both items are collar badge size. The top badge appears to be all of silver and has the reversed and intertwined cyphers of George V on the ball. No rear fixings but a slider has been soldered on. Lower badge is the Royal Crest with lion facing inwards. 2 small prongs at rear Thanks GTB |

Lion over King’s Crown in white metal and also found chromed forms part of the shoulder strap insignia of the War/Army Department Constabulary.
The attached MOD Official poster is a little odd in its use of King’s and Queen’s Crowns with relevant dates! Tim

This gives a better indication of size (comparison with cap size)
A small makeshift slider has been soldered on. GTB |
