MastersMate Posted May 10, 2018 Share #6 Posted May 10, 2018 The 1947 USN Uniform regs do not have the arch between the chevrons in the description, but the 1951 Uniform Regs do have the arch described in the insignia.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkerhillburning Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted May 10, 2018 Okay, so about 1951 US Naval Academy platoon mustering petty officer patch. When did the bullion type patches vanish from navy uniforms? Also - forgot about this one: look familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunkerhillburning Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share #10 Posted May 11, 2018 Many thanks, guys. Really appreciate the help. Am listing these on eBay among a few others ( including a bullion SHAEF ) and would not have been able to do so properly without your help.

sigsaye Posted May 11, 2018 Share #11 Posted May 11, 2018 Okay, so about 1951 US Naval Academy platoon mustering petty officer patch. When did the bullion type patches vanish from navy uniforms? Also - forgot about this one: look familiar? . The Navy still uses bullion patches. Why do you think they do not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 11, 2018 Share #12 Posted May 11, 2018 The ones used by the USNA are still bullion...or at least when I was stationed there. With that said, the construction of the original patch in this thread looks really early to me...maybe 20s or 30s. It's really nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkerhillburning Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share #13 Posted May 11, 2018 Hi Dave - 1920s or 1930s?? Yikes....time to revise my eBay listing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
