    1. Hello Mr. Mervyn Mitton I can easily solve this "enigma" for you. Actually I happened to find this forum because I was searching the internet to solve an enigma of my own - a naval cap badge. But that will be for later. I have just registered to be a member - the first “task” for me will be to tell you, that you are the lucky owner of a Danish "Cadet anchor"! Its part of a set of two anchors being each other’s mirror image - this is the reverse one – as can be seen from the way the rope goes. One for each side of the collar of the dress uniform of the Danish navy to denote the wearer as a navy cadet – a “student” at the Danish Naval Academy (SOS elev) I found a picture from the Danish Naval Academy showing a cadet, in this case a junior cadet - a sergeant, wearing the anchors on his jacket collar. Also two pictures from the official rank and insignia poster showing the anchor and its equivalent with an “R” – a variation used by student officers of the naval reserve school (SRS elev). As can be clearly seen as a difference from the "general" Danish Navy anchor, the cadet anchor has a peculiar “corrugated” and slim appearance – the anchor of the Navy is smooth and has a different shape (SVN anker). When wearing the sweater the cadet will wear the badge on the pencil pocket and in “shirt-order” on the left pocket of the shirt. As far as I know this item having a pin on the back is fairly new as to be able to be worn in these above mentioned ways. Older ones were just flat on the backside, because they were sewn directly to the collar.
