Unhappy 4th QOH Badge Size Query

Guys (and Dolls),
Can anyone confirm that either a) the height of an officers bronze collar badge as 43mm - or, whether a bronze cap badge is 2mm less than a x3 piece silver gilt cap badge. My SG Cap is 45mm. The bronze one (maybe its a collar...) is 43mm. The width difference is about 1mm.
Unfortunately no pics available at the moment.
Many thanks for any advice.
Extremely unhappy (was full, now part time) ex-working person, David

Hi David

I think I understand the question, but, as Dave is fond of saying, I could be wrong.
I have attached photographs of the Officer's SG cap and SD bronze collar badges.
The SG cap is 43.2mm x 29.00mm, the SD collar is 44.3 x 30.05mm, both widths being measured at the extremity of the scroll.
Please come back if you need more.
I was very sorry to read of the job situation; I feel sure things will pick up again soon.

Best wishes

Gordon

PS Do you have an opinion on my 19H Pouch (?) badge? All ideas welcomed.
