Default help to ID some QVC naval badges

hi all
just picked these up and wanted to confirm what they are and from what period if known. obviously QV era but can the date be more specific?
i am actually hoping that they were also worn by the australian states such as the NSW & Victoria naval contingents.
cheers

I suggest you look at Kit Muster
The white badge is featured on page 21, Petty Officer, 1st class with three small good conduct stripes, circa 1860.
Crown, anchor and wreath Chief Petty officer. (page 19) 1800's
Crown and anchor, 2nd class Petty officer. (page 19) 1800's

Red badge in the centre - Chief Petty Officer's rate badge 1853-57. Normally a tombstone shaped badge but this one has been cut down.

Faded white badge in top right corner - this is NOT a First Class Petty Officers badge with three Good Conduct stripes. These badges were produced for children's sailor suits in the late-Victorian and Edwardian periods. They have been discussed elsewhere on the site.

Beneath that and upside down - King's Crown Petty Officer's rate badge 1901-1952

The upside down badge in the centre, bottom row - this is a bit of a puzzle. Chief Petty Officers rate badges with oak leaves were only worn between 1853 and 1857. In that year the oak leaves were replaced with laurel leaves. This style of badge continued to be worn until rate badges for CPOs were abolished in 1890. I have never seen one with Good Conduct badges attached. There is a possibility that this might be another badge produced for childrens sailor suits. Gold wire badges were produced for these!

Finally, on the left - a 2nd Class Petty Officer 1853-1901

Hope this helps!

Pete

thanks all
thanks barry, i dug my KIT MASTER book out and have confirmed they are were all worn by the australian navies pre 1900.
i am especially pleased with the Crown and anchor, 2nd class Petty officer, 1800's which has an Australian (melbourne) makers stamp.
can anyone decipher the other label?
cheers
