I have had this badge in my collection for over a decade; it came with a pair of red lanyards and USMS clerk rating badges. I am unaware of the training station. It appears to be made of a zinc alloy and was manufactured by F. G. Clover, Co. of New York City.

Has anyone come across any of these these?

I don't have this particular military law-enforcement-style badge in my collection, but, Sheepshead Bay, in New York was established in Dec. 1942 for training U.S. Maritime Service (Merchant Marine) members. Glover was a well known New York badge manufacturer. I'd say this is a rare piece.

Neat. Thank you for your insight - I'll keep my eyes open for any other badges like mine and will post them here if they appear.
