Parachute Rigger Rates

[rosieres64]

Looking for pictures of Parachute Rigger rates from 1943 thru the late 60's.

 

My Aunt and Uncle were riggers during WW II, my uncle retired as a Master Chief in the sixties.

 

Thanks

Here are a couple of Petty Officer First Class rating badges from my collection. The one on the right is dated 1944 and pretty typical. The one on the left is odd as the crow is facing the wrong way (the specialty mark was always accompanying a left facing crow), and the chevrons are pretty crude, compared to the one on the right.

 

I have others, though will need to dig them up.

Here are a pair from my collection. I don't know how to dates these and have always been curious as to their age.
