Bearmon Posted November 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 11, 2020 I don't recall ever seeing a specialty rating with the eagle facing left (right arm Rate) is this just a mistake? A rarity? A fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Minton Posted November 11, 2020 Share #3 Posted November 11, 2020 My guess would be an error. I have seen other Specialist rates, as well as other ratings with similar issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Minton Posted November 12, 2020 Share #5 Posted November 12, 2020 Same for these Buglemaster rates? Bugle facing different directions?Sort of. I’m not sure the regulations specified which direction the specialty mark faced. I have a number of rates like this.

dpcsdan Posted November 12, 2020 Share #6 Posted November 12, 2020 Couple things apparent, a bullion "crow" and an embroidered specialty mark. Secondly, possibly foreign made bullion eagle. One last possibility, might have been an incomplete right arm rate eagle rating badge without the specialty mark and later a Specialist rating mark was added.

topdcnut Posted November 12, 2020 Share #7 Posted November 12, 2020 You make Chief and you are crossing to a stateside rate from your old deck rate the tailor shop says this is what we can do and you specify.....you are a right arm rate now and what do you specify? Just a question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, by looking at the back of the patch that the specialty mark and the crow were put there together, the single piece of gauze makes me think that. just my opinion.
