Description
This is an extremely fine World War II U.S. Navy Submarine Warfare Officer’s Badge that is in excellent condition. This is the “Deep Wave” variant of the badge and is extremely well struck. It exhibits very sharp detail to the dolphins, boat, and waves at the bottom of the badge. The dolphin’s scales are crisp, with the tail fins being cut out. The gilt finish is with an attractive, light age toned patina. The reverse is semi hollow and retains the functional pin and roller locking catch. It is nicely marked with the GEMSCO logo and, ‘STER +1/2010K’on the reverse. The badge is an outstanding example of the scarce “Deep Wave” variant and measures 2¾ inches from end to end. It is completely without damage remaining a very fine example as awarded to officers of the elite and highly perilous Silent Service during the Second World War.8051
