Re: Enlisted long-service badges
Well, folks......after a looooong time searching for an Air Force & Navy badge in the older style I finally hit pay-dirt. To those who say 'Ya can't find nothin' good on the ebay' I say you are a putz. ;)
So for your viewing pleasure here are all three early versions. :thumbsup Note the different paint colors on the wings; I've seen this variation before. Also, in the second image I've flipped up the numbered pendant on the bottom badge; if ya squint really hard you can see how relatively thick the pendant is. Sometimes pendants can be thinner. I've also noticed three different shapes of the pendants; diamond and heart-shaped on para jump badges and the roughly triangular pendants seen here.
