Der Finn Posted December 10, 2014 Can anyone ID this cap badge? It's on a wool cap with a black visor. Thanks for any help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIl Sanow Posted December 10, 2014 I think I saw a gilt one once that was ID'd as some sort of preWW2 Veteran's Administration (or it's predecessor) uniform insignia -- perhaps for a veteran's hospital. G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
green hell Posted December 10, 2014 Howdy - I've never seen one, but might guess it was used by a crewman on an armed merchantman (like a gunner's mate, perhaps). 48 stars on the American flag, so it's probably WWII. Also a naval 'Jack' and a rifle crossed with an anchor behind the US shield, so there's some connection to the sea. Any maker's mark on the back? Can you post a photo of the whole cap? I'm sure somebody on here will be able to tell you everything you want to know about it, and then some. Good luck - Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garth Thompson Posted December 10, 2014 Actually it is circa 1930's WW1 Veteran Association. The army version is gilt the naval version silver. The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. A night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities to experience all three at the same time. You can not pronounce as knowledge anything you can not demonstrate. ASMIC Secretary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
