Hi Team

Could not find any images of this Kiwi rating(?)

Unsure if it is RNZN

cheers

That is the badge design of Master at Arms. The green fern fronds may indicate that this is a RNZN badge.

NZ does have MAAs and they are the most senior rating.

Thanks Barry

That was quick , Ive been looking for several days.

I received a package from Washington of mixed lot mainly NZ patches,Rank ,SAS from the late 70's to early 90's, thus was the last rating to be ID.

Barry I have done a search on google box re RNZN Mater At Arms and there is CPOMAA , however it shows epaulettes.

I take it this could be Dress uniform?

cheers

The badge in question would have been worn on the collars of the jacket.

Hi,
Yes, I understand this to be RNZN MAA. I have seen a few badges like this but have yet to see one being worn.

The only photo I have of a RNZN MAA is attached

Thank you for the confirmation Nichollg.

It seems to be a rare rating badge,probably obsolete(?) these days.

Wonder if it is from the 80's-90's era.

cheers
