Justin B. Posted March 1, 2019 Share #7 Posted March 1, 2019 Terrific! The 3-rocker BM, apothcary and yeoman (later storekeeper) were only authorized 1893-1894. The GM2c is great to see, too, because the embroidered guns are old-school cast cannon. The illustration in the regs showed more modern built-up guns. Thanks a lot for showing, Justin B.

MastersMate Posted March 2, 2019 Share #14 Posted March 2, 2019 In the ' you never throw anything away department'.. When the USN changed the rating badge design in 1894sh, the logistic question come up as to what to do with the old stock. In 1899 / 1900 the Revenue Cutter Service adopted a sleeve rating badge for its mariners. A few of the early photos show, and the 1900 regs bear out that the RCS simply removed the chevron and used the Master at Arms, Quartermaster, Machinist, and their own design for the Coxswain and Bugler. By 1904 photos the RCS was using the USN crow without the chevrons. By 1908/09 the USN style was used, but the chevrons were white and edged with scarlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MastersMate Posted March 3, 2019 Share #16 Posted March 3, 2019 Not sure if you'll get enough detail, but, a crew photo from the Revenue Cutter Grant in 1904. The OILER in the upper row has the old style RCS "crow" while the other petty officers wear the "new" RCS style crow. The eagle and specialty mark but no chevrons..

David Minton Posted March 27, 2019 Share #17 Posted March 27, 2019 Amazing. I hope to one day get a single example for my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigsaye Posted March 27, 2019 Share #18 Posted March 27, 2019 Amazing. I hope to one day get a single example for my collection.. Yeah, when you look at them, they really are sort of ugly. They remind me of that disgusting Fat Parrot we got in 1984. But, again, yeah, would love to stumble on some of these! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpcsdan Posted October 28, 2020 Share #19 Posted October 28, 2020 Unbelievable pick-up. Congratulations. I have many rare traders if you ever decide to let go of one example. -dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
