Tonomachi Posted May 14, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2022 Is this a WW2 era right arm Boatswain's mate 1st class rank or something earlier? There seems to be too much space between the bottom of the anchors and the start of the chevrons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Minton Posted May 14, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2022 It doesn’t seem to match the normal US made patterns, so I would guess foreign made. That being said, I think it would be a challenge to date beyond pre-1948. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted May 14, 2022 Share #3 Posted May 14, 2022 Agree totally not the norm, but embroidery looks US to me. And if you ignore the abnormally large gap between chevrons and anchor, it looks even more US made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted May 14, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 14, 2022 I think it’s a manufacturing “error” - US-made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted May 14, 2022 Share #5 Posted May 14, 2022 Was this sewn on a jumper at one time, seeing White sewing threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpcsdan Posted May 14, 2022 Share #6 Posted May 14, 2022 I believe it's wartime U.S. made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
