Merchant Navy, United Kingdom, Officer Visor Cap. Original Photographs.

• Officer Cap Badge: Typically featured a central silver or gilt anchor surrounded by gold bullion embroidery laurel leaves, surmounted by a heraldic Naval Crown.
• A naval crown is a golden circlet adorned with ship prows, sails, or sterns, originating as an ancient Roman military prize and a modern heraldic symbol. Because it is the Merchant Navy and not the Royal Navy, the cap insignia does not have the King's or Queen's Crown.
