    Gunnery Badge

    I bought this today at an antique mall. Seller says it's Coastal Artillery for an officer. Gold wire on black. Is this correct or is it just Navy?

    Thank you

    Greetings Dan, This is a strange one indeed. I haven't seen one of these wire braided ones before.
    I think this is a good one. However, the insignia design continued even after WW2. So timeframe is difficult.

    Could you show a pic from the back

    Regards,

        Nothing strange about it. Normal hand embroidered marine artillery career patch for an officer. This was part of the Navy or Kriegsmarine.

        Worn over the horizontal gold stripes on the uniform.

          Good tip to the one on Collector's Guild provided by Justin for you to look at along with other career insignia.

            Thanks for the replys. The reverse has a coarse ivory colored paper stuck to it. Looks like it was removed from a scrapbook.

              Hi,
              The post war examples are of a different design, so this is a nice TR example.
              I've attached some TR examples, in yellow above some post ww2 in red, to show the differences, though these are machine embroidered examples.

                Gunnery officers insignia

                Is this a gunnery officers tunic (on board a ship) or costal artillery officers tunic?
                Thanks
                Bruce
