Thanks Dan,and yes its a nice one,Jay

 

Looks like the USS Thor badge was produced and worn between 1956 and 1973, and the USS Thomas was classified a DD from 1962-72.

This USS Rigel badge is likely Rigel (AF-58) 1975-92, not the earlier USS Rigel (AD-13), decommissioned in 1946.

A while back, post #64, Dpcsdan posted some of my badges for me. The TASP badge has an unusual attachment device, alligator clip. Under it you can see the maker mark and Gov't Property stamp.

Everyone will have to pay the full eBay auction price and I'll refund $5 as I did for Jay and 67Rally.

Thanks for the interest.

If you order a book please add a note during payment letting me know you're a USMF member.

Thanks,

Here's one I picked up recently. The ship was commissioned in 1941 and decommissioned in 1968. So that gives a pretty narrow timeframe on the age of the badge. I'm thinking it was used in the 1960 to 1968 timeframe given the Large Burgess pin catch.

Nice Badge!! I would try and clean the verdigris of the badge before it gets to bad.

 

 

Thanks, it is pretty cool. Normally if I was keeping it I would clean it up. But it will be sold so I'm going to sell it as is and let the new owner decide how to proceed.
