Proud Kraut Posted November 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 27, 2014 Received this one today with an insignia lot. Absolute out of my collection's focus I would like to ask you: 1.) US? 2.) Military? 3.) If so, what rank and branch? Thank you very much in advance! Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted November 27, 2014 Share #2 Posted November 27, 2014 Odd looking piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B. Posted November 27, 2014 Share #3 Posted November 27, 2014 Could it be the bottom part of a navy rating, but shown upside down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectsmedals Posted November 27, 2014 Share #4 Posted November 27, 2014 Could it be the bottom part of a navy rating, but shown upside down? That is what it looks like to me, the bottom half of an upside down Chief Petty Officer's rating badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Minton Posted December 19, 2014 Share #8 Posted December 19, 2014 Just guessing it could be either an unfinished piece, or not US military, but of similar construction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted December 19, 2014 Share #9 Posted December 19, 2014 Reminds me of the CPO rates from the TV-version of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea". Probably foreign or unfinished. I want to say a Central or South American navy used something like this. RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted January 9, 2015 Share #10 Posted January 9, 2015 Yeah I think it is an unfinished piece that was supposed to have a bullion Eagle and rating added. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
