FYI All,
Here are some recent issue Mess Dress rank boards. These are images of the items in their NSN issue bags, as a form of provenance. We will take further images of the gold and silver finished items for inclusion in our current work on Volume 3 (Rank and Trade insignia) in a week or two. I will be able to post further images for you all here then.
Regards
Mark
