Welcome to USN,COAST GUARD & OTHER SEA SERVICES'S RATING BADGES AND COLLECTIBLES. This site was created to i.d. the rating badges and insignia of the sea services. The pictures are items from my collection. As of now I only have rating badges and insignia of some of the sea services. I plan on adding uniforms,headgear,and other items in the future.

It is believe that split rates were use post ww2 until the late 1940's early 1950's . The uniform below is name and from the research I've done I can date the uniform t0 1947-1948
