JimZ Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 I will again own up to having sold most of my RN items including my large trade patch collection. Before posting any of them here I was wondering if anyone is at all interestied in these patches. Also, perhaps if one is knowledgable enough to help fill in some missing details on the exact ranks and trades that such patches denote, they may be of interest to some of you.Pls post your interest if any! .... If not, I'll save myself the hassle of resizing and posting the odd hundred badges ......Jim
JimZ Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 Just to add some "colour" - here are just a few of them:Diver's Patch
Gerd Becker Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Nice. Keep it coming. Indeed! You just have to love bullion. The diver-patch is great!
leigh kitchen Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 I only have army patches really - I bought a load of old RN trade badges a few years ago but only to give to a friend in Sweden.The only navy patches I've got are WWII period German, they grew from a bag full that an old schoolfriend bought at a jumble sale for 25p & passed on to me, otherwise I would'nt have strayed into that field of collecting.The RN is a mystery to me, always interested to learn about these badges, & I like the bullion diver too - I have one or two of the WWII German equivalent in thread, but I have the bullion on dark blue British army "Shark wrestler" etc too.
JimZ Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) Some more: These are (I believe) various Signals/Radio/engineering patches Edited March 25, 2007 by JimZ

JimZ Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 These ones were 2 of my faves.... yes I also adored the diver's patch as it was the heaviest one!!
JimZ Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 I always assumed this was some sorts of Helmsman patch
