I’ve collected USMC shooting badges for decades and have never seen another BB&B second pattern (1915 to present) expert badge. I’ve owned several BB&B rifle expert badges, and several BB&B “colt” (pre 1915) pistol badges, but cannot even find record of another of these online.
Very rare, 1936 model. Early type, with kersey. Later models was made from canvas top. After Winter war Soviet authorities issued simpler and less heavyrucksack and these were stopped to manufacture.

Some utensil marks to the center of the platter that I will try to show in the pictures. The line on the back is a mold mark. The plate does have a little wobble to it when sitting on a flat surface. Additional background: The 211th Military Police Battalion (“First Corps of Cadets”[1]) is a unit of the Massachusetts Army National Guard. Its Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment is descended from the First Corps of Cadets, initially formed in 1741. It is one of several National Guard units with colonial roots. Its motto is Monstrat Viam – It Points the Way. While it has served in five wars, the sub-unit’s primary contribution to Massachusetts and to the United States was as an officer-producing institution for new regiments from the Revolutionary War through World War II.
