The oval plate kind of resembles a state militia plate missing the attachments. 

Well I finished the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A. I feel I should've originally sprayed a heavier coat of GlossCote to help the decals blend into the ship's hull. But I'm 'happy' with it. I wish I had a black background. Anywah, enjoy the pics. BTW, I will be going back to the past 😀 , for my next project.

This doesn’t answer your question, but it may be of interest:    

Early 1960's

It's always great to find a WT in the wild. The WT grips can crack easily, so be careful. Marv

Wow, Lars. I love the shading and base coat painting. Like you mentioned, now I look forward to those washes and detail and highlight paintings. This is coming along nicely.   Semper Fi.   Manny

Thank you SS. Any idea as to when this style was worn?

all the pics i have. original? thank you    

Thank you jumpship and Sigsaye, here are the other pictures.

Interesting story. Saw a generic Naval Officer's insignia buckle up on the 'bay. Seller had it described as "Vanguard". We all know Vanguard has supplied military insignia and uniform items for decades. I sent a note to see if there were any markings on the back. Picture came back with no markings and just as I had thought, a generic P.I. made buckle. I nicely provided information, that I collect these types of buckles and that the buckle wasn't produced by Vanguard, but was made in the Philippines. She sent me back a big thank you, told me it was her husbands and pulled the buckle from the site. Additionally, said she is holding onto it and will pass it onto their grandson when he gets old enough to appreciate the sentimental value. I asked to be provided her husband's name, as I will catalog it with the other buckle images I have collected of the years.  He is identified as: Lloyd Ray Harvey   I did a quick internet search of this Navy vet. Holy COW!! You never know the full story until you blow off the dust. Here is the information from his obituary. As a young aviator, this guy truly lived at Mach speed.    Lloyd Ray Harvey was born in 1941 in Buckner, MO and died in Punta Gorda, FL at the age of 79. He graduated from Fort Osage HS and joined the Navy in 1959. He attended the University of Hawaii while he was stationed there before attending flight school and becoming a naval aviator. He served three tours in Vietnam as a fighter pilot off the USS Intrepid, USS Forrestal and the USS Oriskany flying over 200 missions including 87 bombing missions for Operation Thunder. He received numerous medals including three Purple Hearts, Navy Commendation Medal and National Defense Medal. After Viet Nam, he was an instructor at the Navy Fighter Weapons School at Miramar in San Diego. He left the Navy as a Lieutenant in 1971. After his military service, he founded Corvette Care in Columbus, Ohio, and attended Columbus State University. He loved people, flying, corvettes, auto racing, bluegrass and country music and learning about literally everything. He lived every day by his creed of Duty, Honor, Country. He leaves a grieving wife, brother, sister, daughter, son, two grandsons, blended family members and a multitude of friends. He will reunite with a beloved brother on the other side. “Will the Circle Be Unbroken . .”
