Mervyn Mitton Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Sicherheitsdients - can't help with the badges - but couldn't you make contact with some of their Navy people ? What I wanted to ask is - do Morocco have a big Navy ? Any major ships or, submarines ? I hope your collection is still going strong. Mervyn
Lion101 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) I want to say those badges are from the 1960s -1970s. They were wore on the left pocket, I believe. I have only seem photos of officers wearing them. It's been so long since I seem. If I find anymore information on them. I will let you know. Give me a few days Edited June 26, 2012 by Lion101

Ok, the second badge is worn by the personnel of the Moroccan Royal Gendarmerie hanging from their right pocket of their everyday/ service and parade dress uniforms. It's just a basic badge worn by them. They still wear it today but yours could be from the 1980s - 2000s. As you can see from the photo, the Gendarmerie members in it are the lowest rank there is and are still wearing the badge.
Lion101 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I am still looking into your naval badge but so far the only thing that I found out was that it isn't one for the naval infantry or naval gendarmerie.

Lion101 Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Sorry that I have not gotten back with you in a timely fashion but I found some more information on the badge. I would like to say that this badge much like the other was worn by most of the members of the navy. However, most of the photos that I have found with the badge being worn is either during parades or on their dress uniforms. I believe also this type of navy badge is no longer being used. Since, I have found recent photos of the RMN wearing a different version now.
Lion101 Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Here are more recent photos from this year.
Lion101 Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Also, it's seem like the navy badges never had the leather style of hangers. So it should be just a pin back badge unlike the others. It was most likely worn by all ranks, as you can see from this photo. The naval officer in the background is wearing the same badge that the sailor is wearing in the foreground.
SICHERHEITSDIENTS Posted November 29, 2012 Author Posted November 29, 2012 hi lion it is better late than never to comment about those badges. many thanks for your time warmest regards from spain fernando :cheers:
