March 21, 20215 yr #1 Hello folks, I picked this up at a flea market yesterday. The color in my photos may be a little off but both liner and pot are standard OD. The vertical stripes are rank? Typically I've seen the rank in horizontal bars. There appears to be writing in red on the liner webbing but I can't make it out. Firestone liner. Any thoughts or info would be appreciated. Best, Robert
March 21, 20215 yr #2 Very nice original set. I would say rank. Just the way he chose to do it? You have one thin bar over a thick and thats typically Lt.JG rank I recall.
March 21, 20215 yr Author #4 LtJG is what I was thinking. I live in a big Navy area so Navy items are very common around here but not so much painted lids except for the occasional plain gray. Thank you, Robert
March 21, 20215 yr Author #6 Hey Chris.. thank you.. I haven't moved, are we still living in the same area? Best, Rob
March 21, 20215 yr #7 Rob. That is one sweet Navy. And a flea market find to boot. Really great find. Fixed Navy’s you don’t see anywhere near as many as you do swivels. Great post and pickup. Z
March 21, 20215 yr #10 yeah, a lot of the time, officer rank in the navy ran horizontal, like on the cuffs of the sleeve, but not always the case. heres a navy lt electrical officer (electro) helmet i used to own. thats a darn good lookin lid ya walked yourself in to
March 21, 20215 yr Author #12 Thanks guys.. Every once in a while those hundreds of hours, and hundreds of miles we drive going to 100's of garage sales and flea markets pays off.
