Vintage U.S. Navy Shoulder Boards Pair with Anchor Corps Devices – Unidentified Branch Insignia

A matched pair of vintage U.S. Navy shoulder boards featuring gilt Navy buttons and matching anchor devices mounted on dark navy wool backing. Unlike standard officer shoulder boards, these examples do not display rank stripes, suggesting use by a junior officer, warrant officer, candidate program, or a specialized naval branch. The exact corps designation and period of use have not been identified and are offered as found. Both boards exhibit light age and handling wear consistent with storage and use, making them an interesting addition to any naval insignia, aviation, or uniform collection.
