US Navy SEALS Special Warfare Black Trident Insignia Badge Pin 2-3/4" Full Size

Description

Description:
Established on 16 October 1970, the insignia recognizes those service members who have completed the Navy’s Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training, completed SEAL Qualification Training and have been designated as US Navy Seals.
The Special Warfare insignia was initially issued in two grades, being a gold badge for officers and silver for enlisted.
In the 1970s, the Silver SEAL badge was abolished and the Special Warfare Badge was issued thereafter in a single grade.
The SEAL badge is therefore unique in the Navy in that it is one of the few badges issued in a single grade for both officers and enlisted personnel.
This is partly due to the combined training that both officers and enlisted receive, side by side, when involved in BUD/S training.
The Special Warfare insignia consists of a golden eagle clutching a U.S. Navy anchor, trident, and flintlock style pistol.
The decoration is considered a "successor badge" to the obsolete Underwater Demolition Badge.
The Trident is one of the few warfare specialty pins that is the same for officers and enlisted.
It symbolizes that Navy SEALs are brothers in arms - that they train together and fight together.
Manufactured by the company that supplies military accessories and its an excellent quality piece.
