Collar emblems of an officer of the Corps of Pontonniers en Torpedisten.
Below you can see a number of fine collar emblems intended for the uniform of an officer of the Army Maritime Engineers (Corps Pontonniers and Torpedisten). In some cases, the emblem of the fouled anchor was embroidered directly on the collar of the uniform. But as can be seen below, the anchors were also sometimes embroidered on pieces of fabric and then sewn onto the collar. These are some emblems, presumably used as educational tools for training new military personnel in the rank and status system. In wear, two of these emblems would be placed on the uniform, one on the left and one on the right.
