Unidentified naval badge
This cloth arm badge has been described to me as a Norwegian 'Sharp Shooter in Merchant Navy'. Can anyone corroborate this?

Hello GTB
I do not know anything about this badge but wonder if it is upside down and should have the 'H' at the top. Just a thought as it does not look particularly aestheticly pleasing as it is - not sure it would be any better the other way around. Hoping you get better responses than my uneducated thought Could they be Naval PT clubs? Mike |

Mike,
Your thoughts had also passed my mind. I have also played around with position but concluded this is the right way up considering that crossed RN Gun badges have the narrow barrels pointing up. Besides, coincidentally a Norwegian sailing club badge has titles SS above H as in my badge. GTB Last edited by GTB; 25-08-17 at 08:21 PM. Reason: correcting text |

Possibly gun barrels as you suggest. rather than naval PTI clubs.
Hopefully some one will know for sure Mike |

It's Norwegian for gunners in the merchant fleet, WW 2. This is for the tropical uniform and you can also find it with a dark blue background.
