Hello guys,

 

This one is on its way to me, but I don’t recognize the specialty patch on the lower sleeve.  Of course below the crow is an electricians mate, but what is the patch on the lower sleeve?  Again, I don’t have this jumper in hand yet, but from what I see it is 1920’s or possibly earlier.  Any help is appreciated.

Yes, Civil Engineer.  IIRC, “Battalion 600”.  This was a group that was established to build Naval infrastructure. They eventually went to France to build Naval Bases. Disestablished after the war.

I have a period photo of a sailor with this insignia, somewhere. Didn't know about Battalion 600. Thanks !
