:rolleyes: "GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS!" My good friend and fellow Navy rate collector MUSTANG GUY was kind enough to email me scans of his treasured collection of United States Coast, United States Navy, and Revenue Cutter Service rates and strykers along with qualification and specialty marks as well as you shall be treated to a delightful sight! :rolleyes: Sarge Booker of Tujunga, California ([email protected]) to get FREE scans daily, email me! (Below are 1886 rates for Gunner's Mate 1st Class for winter and summer uniforms. 1st Class wore three chevrons and a diamond while 2nd Class had three chevrons and 3rd Class had two chevrons, unlike today with 3 for 1st Class, 2 for 2nd Class, and 1 chevron for 3rd Class.) Thanks, Mustang Guy!

think.gif An 1886 rate for Quartermaster 2nd Class next over is an 1897 rate for Boatwain's Mate 1st Class. It has to be very difficult to locate these rates to acquire them, especially now with many more collectors branching out into Coast Guard and Navy rates. Thanks again, Mustang Guy! think.gif

ermm.gif Both of these rates are for 2nd Class Quartermaster, but the blue one is for the United States Navy and the white one is for the Revenue Cutter Cutter, the name of the U.S. Coast Guard before 1915 or it could well also be U.S.N.? Thanks to Mustang Guy! Also a Pelham 2nd Class Petty Officer rate that was used during or before WW1? ermm.gif

pinch.gif Revenue Cutter Service Master-At-Arms 2nd Class, in 1915 the R.C.S. became the United States Coast Guard. Chevrons were white over red on both blue wool and white cotton uniforms while chevrons were scarlet-red on both blue and white U.S. Navy uniforms without the white underlay 1897-1913 (or 1915)? pinch.gif
