Merchant Navy without a red cushion?
Hi guys,
Any help with this one would be much appreciated. A standard pattern without the red cushion behind the anchor. A variant on the generic or a specific shipping line / period etc? or a fake? Thanks in advance, Phil

I don't feel this badge is good, it looks very modern (ie: recently made) to me, with no age patina, especially that crown; any older examples I have seen have red padded background behind the anchor. RCN Bryan Last edited by RCN; 12-02-14 at 05:10 PM. |

Hello Phil
The anchor is "fouled". Does the Merchant Navy use this style? Andy |

Hi guys, I wondered if its related to, or of a similar nature to the above badge? Phil

Hi Andy and Phil
The British Merchant Navy does not use the fouled anchor on its cap badges. David |

Merchant Navy without a red cushion?
This is in no way a definitive reply but could it be from the Merchant Navy of another country such as India? Many of the former Empire or Commonwealth countries have Merchant Navies of their own that conform to similar uniform and insignia used by the British. Another possibility is the Canadian Naval Auxiliaries that wore a Merchant Navy type cap badge before adopting a metal/enamelled cap badge similar to the Canadian Navy officers cap badge? Or maybe one of the small independent nautical schools or could even be just one of the numerous small "break away" nautical or maritime cadet/youth movements that are around?
