David Minton Posted April 18, 2020 Share #534 Posted April 18, 2020 Of note due to the original Gemsco label on the reverse. WWII era or late 1940s or early 1950s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busternfo Posted May 16, 2020 Share #535 Posted May 16, 2020 Hello dskjl, Do you still have the Master Chief Gunner's Mate? If so, are you interested in a trade or sale? It would make a nice mate to my Senior Chief. Just asking since you mentioned you were selling off your collection. Thanks, Dennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busternfo Posted May 17, 2020 Share #536 Posted May 17, 2020 Hello Everyone, Does anyone know the story behind why this badge CPO Turret Captain in green would exist? I can't come up with a scenario where this rating badge would be worn? The green material is the old USMC felt-like cloth, not gabardine, serge, or other dress uniform material. I apologize if this has been covered before somewhere on the forum. Thanks, Dennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpcsdan Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share #537 Posted October 10, 2020 Haven't been on the forum for awhile, I've been spending much time with my other hobbies. I keep my USN rating badges and specialty marks in plastic sleeves in large notebooks. I thought I'd put up a rotating display in my study. Here's the first display.

They weren’t. Prior to 1940, the eagle looked left on all rates. Those on the left sleeve had the eagle looking to the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
