Navy WO parade boards?

[willie777]

Did the navy warrant officers have parade boards? or did they never march on parade or they just wore their regular boards?

[Mark Signa]

Is it possible to have artillery general shoulderboard on navy uniform?

[Lapa]

Mark,

It is possible, it would be a general of costal artillery.
Now, there must NOT be rank stripes on the sleeve, otherwise, it is simply a converted uniform.

Yes, the boards are fine; there were Naval Generals of the Coastal Service, Artillery, Aviation, etc. The cuffs here should be with generals embroidery, not rank stripes ( as stated above).

The black parade uniform used the same boards for parade as for service dress. They were piped according to arm of service:
- white for shipboard
- red for coastal artillery/naval infantry/other shore support
- blue for aviation.

The summer white parade uniform also had white boards with appropriate red or blue outer piping.

I had an idea to convert it to navy admiral ( with parade shoulder boards, sleeves stripes and sleeves admiral stars ), but decided to keep it AS IS. Will post picture, when I am done with awards. Thanks everybody and special THANKS to Jeffrey!

Leave as is; good move. Remember, just because it does not follow regulations 100% does not make it bad or a make up. It very well that when he went for a parade tunic, all this general could get was an admirals without any sleeve insignia. If he was in a remote are this is really possible and this was really his parade tunic.
