Malta Maritime Authority
Posting a few items that won't be seen again in wear on Malta. This organisation has been obsolete for at least 5 years already. The uniform was very military in look, one of the best I've seen locally, and far superior to Police, Prisons, Customs, etc.
I don't have a pic of the MMA peaked cap, but a description should suffice: light navy blue with red piping around crown and 1 1/2" wide red cap band. The badge is naval style - gold bullion wreath but in the centre the logo of the MMA which resembles the logo on one of the scanned epaulette slides; black plastic peak & chinstrap, plain black fibre chinstrap button. The manufacturer's label is interesting: diamond-shaped, in the centre an ornate cartouche surrounding an anchor above 3 arrows as the registered trade mark, and a scroll "Established 1898".
The small square Maltese Cross may not belong to the MMA, I can't recall with clarity. I scanned along with the rest as it was among them in same box.
