David, thank you very much, this compilation is incredible! Tom

Thank you very much Nick for your information and insight. If you ever come across any new information please let me know. Much appreciated, Tom

Thank you very much Nick for this information. So if this is not for time served, what would this badge be awarded for? Tom

He is a new acquisition. Is this a retired pilot’s (time served) badge? Please let me know what you all think. Thank you very much, Tom

Dave and Nick, here are the images you requested. Tom

Thank you very much Nick for your consistent help. You certainly are a treasure to this board! Tom

Yes, that would indeed be very offensive!

I found similar badge pictures on Rich Catalano’s awesome site under Imperial Maritime Association. This badge however was not pictured so I’m assuming it is a higher class. Can someone please let me know what class this is and what these badges were awarded for? Thank you all again (especially Nick)! Tom

Thanks Nick, so would the one I posted be a superior chief inspector and not the assistant even though it still has only a single badge depicted? Tom

Thank you very much to Nick Komiya at Warrelics for this information!

Hi All, I don’t know if this is the correct forum for identifying Japanese shoulder boards but maybe someone could help me with these. Any information will be greatly appreciated! Thank you all very much, Tom

Thank you very much Nick. This definitely would have been one to pick up, sorry I missed it. Tom

Hi All, this badge sold yesterday on eBay. I was going to bid on it but lost track of time and missed it. Does anyone recognized what this is for? Sorry for the blurry pictures but that’s how they were presented. Thank you very much, Tom

Yes Nick, it does, I like the idea that might make it an original ribbon!

I finally scored and was able to complete my commemorative medals! Tom
