Default No1 Dress Crowns

Hi, could some one please tell me the dimensions of a Colour Sergeants crown and a Warrant Officer class 2's crown as worn on an infantry No1 Dress (blues) jacket. I can't seem to find it in my copy of Army Dress Regs.
Many thanks, keep cool.
Neil

The C/Sgt crown varies in size Neil depends which Regiment your looking at .
Without measuring, the Light Infantry is larger than the Royal Green Jackets. I think the Rifles and RGJ are the same size.

Neil,
Agree with Mike that there are variations. Army Dress Regulations simply refer to small crowns and large crowns! Generally large crowns are about 10-15mm wider than small crowns.
Some examples here and more in my album. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...p?albumid=2653

Thanks again Tim and Mike I'm trying to put together examples of No 1 Dress rank badges worn by, unsurprisingly for me, 2 Wessex. Your comments are a real help. I do have several photographs to work from and some members to get in touch with.
Regards Neil.
