Merchant Fleet Navigator Badge
This badge is in Silver (48mm by 35mm) and awarded to Submariners of Capt rank that had served at sea for long deployments.
Circa 50ties I believe. The badge comes with different attachments for branch of service. I take it this guy must have been in a trade with something to do with navigation, as the attachment is a sextant. My girlfriend having a father who served on Russian submarines really likes this badge..I do! Chris and..MD mint marked Last edited by CtahhR; 05-09-2013 at 12:22 PM. |

?
I'am not sure, but is that badge given also to merchant fleets navigating officers?
At least there are two versions: the differences are in the anchor chains. Jussi-Pekka |

Jussi-Pekka,
You are right, of course, it is a badge for the Merchant Fleet navigators. Alexei |

Inquire more
I will enquire more about this which should not be to hard living in a port.
I suppose I could ask for my 5 dollars back...Nah...I think I will keep this fine navigational badge. Any chance of changing the threads name? Chris Last edited by Chris; 06-22-2003 at 11:25 AM. |

I saw one of the Merchant Marine machinist badges at the local dealers.
He has no idea what it is, just an interesting Navy badge. I think he's got $95 on it. Are they worth any more or less than that?

Eric,
The price is about right. Sometimes you can find this badge for a lot less, because not too many people know what it is. I should also mention that this badge is very commonly faked. Alexei |

Thanks Alexei!
It's a nice looking badge but I just don't have the funds available for it (got my eye on a Nevesky!).

Andreas,
I don't know, I am sorry. I have only seen older known original pieces and they were of more "substantial" quality. Alexei |
