Was trying to get this identified with an approximate age and rating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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..

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?

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.

. The Navy still uses bullion patches. Why do you think they do not?

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!
