Cap Badge, States Lines, Officer

Title

Cap Badge, States Lines, Officer

Description

Ca. 1940s. This cap badge was worn by a ship's officer. It was acquired along with a USMS cap badge that dated from 1942-1945. I do not know which was worn first; although I suspect the States Line badge was first as officers, once they joined USMS, they donned those badges as opposed to company ones.

The nut on the reverse of the badge is too corroded to determine the hallmark of the flag.
