A nice unissued example of
post-1939 Pattern 151B
Royal Navy
shoulder trade/ rank patch for a
Gunnery (Quarters) Seaman Third Class
in blue on white for the Summer or Tropical uniform.
Featuring a blue cannon on the white background
under a single rank star
over the letter
Q
this heavily embroidered rank patch comes
from a collection of unissued, ex-stores
WW-I, II, Korean War & later Royal Navy rank/career insignia
uncovered several years ago.
In a nice untouched condition with just a little 'age grubbiness'
