JapanX Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Yep. This practically forgotten Sea and Sky Association and its badges… Most likely it was another youth association (highly militarized of course). The exact year of Association foundation is not known (at least to me). The exact gradation of the badges is not known (at least to me). But let’s try to see what we have for today Edited August 13, 2012 by JapanX
JapanX Posted August 13, 2012 Author Posted August 13, 2012 Ordinary Member Badge The only published source on English that mentioned this badge is Paul Murphy and Steven Ackley book “In the name of Living God”. At page 44 we find this badge (fig. 5.13)
JapanX Posted August 13, 2012 Author Posted August 13, 2012 It is described as “Ordinary Member Badge of the Sea and Air Association”. After the description of the badge the authors wrote that “This is the only badge for this organization encountered so far”. Well, let’s get acquainted with others badges
JapanX Posted August 13, 2012 Author Posted August 13, 2012 Special (?) Member Badge The only difference in design between this and previous badge is laurel wreath at the bottom of the badge. Here it is. Obverse
JapanX Posted August 13, 2012 Author Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) The lower inscription reads as - Sea and Sky Association. The upper looks like special member badge to me, but I am not sure ... Edited August 13, 2012 by JapanX
