Can anyone identify this Navy Badge? Is it for hat or sleeve or what? What period? Thanks in advance. Pony.

See if you can find a copy on line of the USN 1852 Uniform regulations. It looks like a part of a USMC cap badge for a tall front service cap. I think the USN Historian site has those regs. on line..

It is a Early Marine Shako Badge, i knew what it was from the time it was posted but didn't want the info released if it was original. I think i and other deemed it to be a repro but it would have been worth a very hefty sum if original!
