Brig Posted April 28, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 28, 2019 Is this a helmet badge? For metal or pith or both? I don't know crap about Japanese stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger41 Posted April 28, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 28, 2019 Not originally made for a steel helmet....made for sun helmets, winter fur hats and could and were used on other headgear as needed. Never made sturdy enough for a helmet but, they were used out of necessity and replaced as soon as a helmet insignia became available. A number of variations of this insignia were made...yellow brass, silver plated and some painted with slightly different details in the design. These were not "naval landing force" per se or rank insignia but a naval service emblem worn by officers and enlisted alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
