Lee Ragan Posted November 12, 2008 Share #30 Posted November 12, 2008 Technically a Coxswain is just that. They didn't have any classes for Coxswain and promotion would have been to Boatswains Mate 2nd Class. I've never seen an "official", reason for that and don't know of any other rating that had that sort of name change. Can anyone shed some light on that?

dpcsdan Posted December 1, 2008 Share #34 Posted December 1, 2008 Here is a Mustang Guy rate for a Petty Officer 2nd Class Sailmaker's Mate. Thanks, Jason! Anyone have any thoughts on "left-looking" Sailmaker's Mate rating badges? The rate was disestablished in 1939. There are a good number of these around. -dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Jason, I like the reversed specialty mark. I'm looking for one if anyone has an extra. -dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEABEEBRIAN Posted December 20, 2008 Share #37 Posted December 20, 2008 :think: 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: Fantastic Quartermaster rating badge. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navyman Posted January 15, 2009 Share #40 Posted January 15, 2009 Hi Dan, Thanks for the kind words, you have a incredible collection yourself. I add another album this morning, it consists of post ww2-current. There's about I think 360 rates and striker in that album. I would like to caption everything so people can come and use this as a reference. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhbooker2 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share #43 Posted January 17, 2009 Mustang Guy got a really very unusual rate for a Chief Steward, perhaps made in Spain? Notice the upper half of the eagle's wings. Thanks, Jason! Sarge Booker of Tujunga, California ([email protected]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhbooker2 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share #47 Posted February 22, 2009 Mustang Guy mentioned to me about some rates being offered in an online auction, not eBay, these were almost all NAVAL AVIATION PILOT rates for CPOs and petty officers, but take a really hard look at them and you tell us which look authentic and which of them look rather suspicious? Your opinions welcomed here! Sarge Booker of Tujunga, California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
