tthen Posted September 29, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 29, 2018 Can anyone tell me what rate is sewn to the sleeve of this jumper? I can not find it anywhere. The sailor was in the amphibious forces during WW2. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuckerf Posted September 29, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 29, 2018 I believe it is a sharpshooter insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29navy Posted September 29, 2018 Share #4 Posted September 29, 2018 Correct, sharpshooter, to be more precise, Rifle Sharpshooter. However, it is not a rate or rating, it is a qualification mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthen Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted September 29, 2018 Thank you both for the info, so I suspect the sailor was a Seaman 1st class since the only other patch on either sleeve is the Red amphibious forces patch. The sleeves and collar have the three white stripes. Thanks again Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
