Default Embossed insignia identification

Could anyone say what these badges are and from what era? Also, some braid which I assume is naval.

Last item looks like a Royal Army Service Corps lanyard two strands blue with two strands yellow, worn 1950s to 1960s like this one:

Depending on actual size and colours the small crown could be like this one, worn on No 1 Dress 1950s to date:

The first one is a Royal Navy officers blazer badge. Obviously this one was worn by someone who served prior to Elizabeth II coming to the throne in 1952. But it could have been made at anytime over the last 70 years. However, as it is very similar to my Queen's Crown blazer badge I should think that it is comparatively recent.
