The collection encompasses the complete range of rank insignia—from the distinctive pips and crowns that identify officer ranks to the brass chevrons that denote non-commissioned appointments. Each badge is manufactured to exacting military specifications, ensuring consistent appearance that meets the rigorous standards expected during formal parades and ceremonial duties.

Various fitting options accommodate different uniform requirements. Spike-and-clutch fittings provide secure attachment to shoulder boards and epaulettes, while shank fittings ensure proper positioning on tunics and dress jackets. The different size options—from 3/8-inch to 3/4-inch—maintain proper proportions across various uniform scales, from small female No1 dress to full-sized male ceremonial attire.
