California Naval Militia Insignia of Rank

[Chuck Anderson]

Hi everybody!
Chuck Anderson here!

For those whose insignia interest tends towards the historical, I found something that may be of interest.
This concerns a force in the 1890's, known as the California State Naval Forces, (specifically the California Naval Militia and the Naval Battalion.)

This site gives you information on the rank insignia and uniforms, and there are photos as well.
