Hi Steve, it is very similar to a J & C type collar, but the back bears no resemblance. I would say it is a cast copy but when it was made I have no idea. Hope this helps, Mike

Hi Steve

Just a thought but, as you haven't specified a colour, could this be an officer's collar (in bronze)? In which case I wouldn't bin it just yet.

Best wishes

Gordon
