Description
Our WWII U.S. Navy Pharmacist’s Mate 2nd Class Rating Badge is a finely crafted embroidered reproduction of the historic insignia worn by Navy and Marine Corps medical personnel during World War II. Featuring the distinctive red cross specialty mark positioned between the eagle and the chevrons, this badge symbolizes the essential role of Pharmacist’s Mates who provided medical care and battlefield support to sailors and Marines.
Expertly embroidered on a cotton twill-style backing, this rating badge faithfully recreates the appearance of original World War II-era insignia worn on tan and gray service uniforms. The detailed eagle, red cross emblem, and rank chevrons are stitched with precision to deliver an authentic military appearance suitable for collectors and reenactors alike.
Pharmacist’s Mates served as the predecessors of today’s Hospital Corpsmen and were responsible for medical treatment, first aid, field care, and healthcare support throughout the war. This rating badge represents both the rank of Second Class Petty Officer and the specialized medical occupation, making it a significant piece of naval military history.
Available with iron-on or sew-on backing options, this patch is ideal for uniform restoration, reenactments, military displays, shadow boxes, and historical collections.

Place a cloth measuring tape just above your eyebrows and loosely measure round the circumference of your head. To ensure absolute accuracy, repeat this procedure two or three times carefully.
If your measurement falls between sizes, always select the next largest size for optimal comfort.
