TheCrustyBosun Posted October 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 23, 2020 What am I looking at here? They are listed as US Coast Guard striker marks, but I’m not familiar with these. Are these marksmanship cuff marks? What branch? What era? Thanks. R.

DocCollector1441 Posted October 25, 2020 Share #3 Posted October 25, 2020 IIRC I believe they are Coast Guard Auxiliary insignia, but I could be wrong in my recollection US Army National Guard Medic 2008 - 2018.

TheCrustyBosun Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted October 25, 2020 Ok. Thanks. Did the CG use the same marks as the Navy for marksmanship? R.
