These two for instance 1st White Star.
2nd Marconi.
Surely the 1st. badge is BLUE star line

I have no idea how to add the link but if you google House flags of U.S. Shipping Companies and click on the letter M that should do the trick. Cheers J.W.

My point being John, A lot of guys worked for both White Star and Marconi, Yet never went to sea in there lives. Speculation certainly but as I said it may not be seaman's badge. It could belong to someone who worked for either yet sat in an office all there working lives. Re Terry.

Found one JohnBut Materson is blue M, Moss is I would say the more likely with the badge being found on the banks of the Thames and Moss Tankers being registered in London.

Interesting Don, I know the company was formed in Liverpool, But later switched there operations to London. Regards Terry.
Re: Help With Naval Cap Badge Relic Identification
With all our researchers on the move,looks like we are getting closer but not yet on it proper.
The Companies Morgan and Mystic are close but have no Blue Border so still not solved.
The Search cntinues Lads!

Re: Help With Naval Cap Badge Relic Identification
Found this very similar to the badge in question, Although this one is Alfred Holt {Blue Funnel } it could well be a cap badge the plot thickens :banghead:
Re: Help With Naval Cap Badge Relic Identification
Looks a little like the cap badge I designed for myself when promoted to Master with Mollers of London & Hong Kong, and had made in Hong Kong but that was lost in Darwin, blown away by cyclone Tracy.
