:lol: This fine rate is from MUSTANG GUY and it appears to be for a Chief Petty Officer and has VFW 2431, perhaps Veteran's of Foreign Wars Post 2431? Thanks, Jason!

crying.gif Here is a very unusual rate from the collection of MUSTANG GUY, could it be a late issue for the Merchant Marine? They did use two different types of rates, perhaps this was made and not issued? Any ideas? Anyone? Thanks, Jason!

Hi,

Two new rates for the collection. Both are pre ww2 Radioman rates. This rating came in use in 1921 and these two rates are probably from the 1920's. Note the eagles on the rating badges are a little different from each other.

This one came today. Pharmacist's Mate 2nd class on khaki, these are hard to find on grey and khaki under the rank of cpo.
