zljones Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share #27 Posted August 23, 2013 Underwater Mechanic CPO rating started in February 1948, lasted until April 1948 then rating was eliminated. Looks like he wants to take that UM from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subsystem4 Posted August 23, 2013 Share #31 Posted August 23, 2013 1905-1913 style Turret Captain CPO, I am shocked I got this for as cheap as it was. Jason and I both must already have one. Your picking up some great stuff. Taking the hobby back by storm! -Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zljones Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share #32 Posted August 23, 2013 LOL yea, the heavy hitters were not smashing that one too hard, I did get beat down on that Master At Arms CPO though, that went a little high. I did not expect to find this stuff so fast, I guess these all come in groups, late Summer/early Fall seems like the times when good rates come up.

navyman Posted August 24, 2013 Share #33 Posted August 24, 2013 Nice rates, and your cat has good taste. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyman Posted August 24, 2013 Share #34 Posted August 24, 2013 Jason and I both must already have one. Your picking up some great stuff. Taking the hobby back by storm! -Jay Yep, I thought I was crazy dropping a huge amount on those navy and other sea service rates I bought from a long time collector. But if on ebay I would of probably paid all most double. Still can't believe what some of the 1905-1913 rates went for and those USRS rates brought.

zljones Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share #35 Posted August 24, 2013 Yea the popularity of those suddenly exploded. I think I have only seen the TC once on Ebay, and the MAA and Sailmaker ever on Ebay in that style. Some of those other don't appear either like the Boatswain's Mate.

dpcsdan Posted August 24, 2013 Share #36 Posted August 24, 2013 You have found some remarkable pieces in a very short period. Good hunting for your remaining pieces. Let me know if you'd like one of my CPO check-off sheets. -dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much will not need to buy many more heavy hitters from pre war thanks to all these beauties that came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
