Looks to be WWII era Marine enlisted collar devices and hat device.  The zinc roller nut was common during wartime.   Manufacturer probably unknown.

Kind of looks like this but the three stars are yellow instead of white and 6 points instead of 5 points.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryon-Wilson_baronets    

I believe this is their post war patch due to the similarity in design and the four digit number of 1421 without a hyphen between the 14 and 21.  What history you can find online is not complete but at the end of the war the designation was changed to NIRUW with a hyphenated number which was short lived.  As all active duty units were now reserve units their designation was changed to MIUWU with a three digit number.  Sometime after this the three digit number was changed to a four digit number which is when this patch was produced and worn.  You can find the three digit number list showing where each reserve unit was located but there is nothing that I could find about the change to four digits which is also now obsolete as I have not been able to keep up with their name and designation changes.  

How true

Hello guys!   I am new to this forum, and US medals are not my area. I have collected other medals for over 30 years, but this is a blind spot for me.   I would like to know if it possible to find the crew rooster for this ship? And if so, where can one find it?   The medal has following name on the rim: John.B Johnsson SEA.   Any help appriciated    

I am always impressed as to what can still be found in estate sales... Sadly, there isnt really anything similar in Germany :/ But great scores!! :D

Best kind of surprises. I've found things I though I sold a long time ago. Who knew I had this much stuff! To your surplus store comment, that's happened to me countless times. A prime example being a 1969 Tropical Rucksack I bought for $70, and a named, UNIS marked 25th Marines, graffitied duffle for FREE! Really wish I didn't sell that piece, still kicking myself for it to this day.    Hayden
