Armourer braanch - post 1950 rate badges
Shown below is a set of Gunnery Armourer CPO matched set of rate badges, for wear on the lapels of the tunic – note the reversal of the gun crossed over torpedo logo on the badges.
Later, in the mid 1950’s, the CPO rate badges were reduced in size & made up in matched pairs.
An example of the smaller matched set is shown on the right.
The badge set was cut in the middle for wear on the lapels of the CPO tunic.
