Too Much WW1 Militaria Posted April 30, 2017 Share #6 Posted April 30, 2017 Well, the eagle is post 41, I'd say 1950's - 60's. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martygraw Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted April 30, 2017 Is it post-WWII because the eagle stands straight up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Much WW1 Militaria Posted May 1, 2017 Share #10 Posted May 1, 2017 Just judging by the construction. Can't remember when the gold for 12 years honorable service came into use, but think it was in the 50's. There are several guys on here that collect bullion rates.

KurtA Posted May 2, 2017 Share #13 Posted May 2, 2017 Pre 41 it faces right, post 41 to the left. Not exactly depending on the rate branch. That more general pre 41/post 41 rule applies to US Navy Officer Cap Badges. Depending on the rate branch, you could have a post 1941 petty officer rate with the eagle facing the viewer's right. In 1941, the regs required the eagle on petty officer sleeve rates to face the uniform wearer's front. Non Seaman branches wore petty officer rates on the left arm so the eagle faced the viewer's left. Seaman branches were worn on the right arm of petty officers so the eagle faced the viewer's right. In 1947, regs called for all rates (both seaman and non-seaman branches) to be worn on the left arm and as a result, all eagles on petty officer rates faced the viewer's left. So, an eagle facing the viewer's left is definitely post 1941. But an eagle facing the viewer's right is pre 1947. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
