MikeK Posted March 21, 2020 Share #8 Posted March 21, 2020 Hi, I just found this great collection of hat badges. A quick question, what are the badges in the top right of pic#1 (the eagle with different anchors) and pic#2 (the bullion eagle with red/white/blue shield. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMariner Posted March 21, 2020 Share #10 Posted March 21, 2020 Great set, about 5 years back I was collecting these like crazy! Any info on the one marked US ? I have never seen or heard of such an example! Was it sailor modified or a short lived pattern ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eagles that face the opposite direction are pre-May 1941. As far as pre or post 1945, there's very little way to tell...hat devices have remained essentially the same since 1941; only the materials used in the last few decades and the more common "pigeon" looking eagles are sure signs of post-WW2 hat devices. Otherwise, WW2 vintage hat devices were used for an indefinite period of time; I have worn one that's WW2 vintage for the last 22 years of my career and while my wife was on active duty, she wore one as well. Very rarely has anyone noticed that the devices differ from what's available today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay V Posted May 7, 2020 Share #14 Posted May 7, 2020 Thanks Dave for the explanation. I was thinking like other USN items that right facing was post 45 and left was before 45. Take Care and Great Book,Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Care and Great Book,JayIf you are thinking of eating badges, most changed in 1941, with the remainder changing in 1948. As far as I am aware nothing of significance changed in US Navy uniform regulations in 1945.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
