Try google translater.

The link You got says its from naval brigade. Nakata repro. to the right.

Could be from collar on tunic.

Thanks! Gian.

I've try Translation in English but don't said that is one collar tab!

I agree that it's not cap insignia but a collar tab

This is the translation:
I received from Mr. H in Kanagawa. Nakata right ones are made. I think that was not produced in Nishijin in Kyoto made of woven out due to lack of original metal is a metal anchor section, these things are black-brown and blue.

Nakata made those to the right!


I didnt state Yours was repro.

Thus.....it's one collar tab for SNLF's combat tunic?

Metal anchors.

not certain if metal anchors directly points to SNLF use. I thought they were early use indicating petty officer soon to be replaced by cloth anchor tabs. By the way the tab shown about is not bevo but woven
