paja Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Greetings, Does anyone recognize this navy cap badge, presumably European? A fellow collector received it recently and we can't find any information about it. I wasn't sure in which category to put it but since the most monarchies are located in the northern part of the Old Continent this seemed like the best option. All comments are more than welcome.

Bayern Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hello , Three Monarchies remains in northern Europe , the Swedish ,the Danish and the Norwegian , all the three with Navies .the badge posted could be of the Swedish Navy (Svenska Flottan ). of the Danish No because the Danes wear a Navy badge with oak leaves and not laurel ones . apart the anchor is carried over a oval cockade red white. Norwegian Navy is another option . Great Britain No , the crown of the Royal Navy is quite distinct. some else : It looks as a badge for use on berets or a baseball cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Bayern, thank you for your prompt reply. So we can definitely exclude Denmark, what about Netherlands and Belgium? I forgot to mention its size - 5,5x5,5 cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanH Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 It is definitly not from the Swedish navy. It´s all wrong style for it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hello JohanH : If you excludes the Swedish Navy , excluded the Belgian , remain the Dutch navy . A question ,the cap badge of the Navy includes the three crowns ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanH Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hi! Yes, the navy badges of Sweden have the three crowns in them. Please see this webpage displaying alot of different Swedish badges. http://www.fmuniformsdetaljer.se/312018422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Thanks , a very interesting site . remarkable the high quality of the badges . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) Definately not Dutch Navy. Regarding the poor quality (yellow cotton in stead of bullion) I think it is some fashion item, not an official cab badge of a serious Navy.
