Naval Accoutrements

[Cloud Cover]

Sadly, today I lost my 2 Squadron EW/NESOP lapel pin. A number of us had them made in the 80's as a visible identifier of operators and technicians whilst in civilian attire, whether on a common jacket or sports jacket. We also had tie pins made, although I never bought one. Does anybody know if similar items are still available, and where I might obtain them? Please post here or PM me. Thank you in advance for your help.

P.S.: If these are not available, are there generic Navy ones available to former members?

IM me with some NESOPS that are in that you know(and are still in) and if I know them maybe I can put them in touch with you to help you out.

I am currently scheduled to be medically released next Feb.  I am hoping to have specific pins in my shadow box which reflects events and trades that took place over my career.  I have pins for the following events that took place in my 19 year career which are the 75th Anniversary of the Naval Reserve, Year of the Veteran and the 100 Centennial Pins.  When I enrolled I was originally a Bosn, have a black and gold tie pin (see attachment).  I am hoping some one may have seen or know where I can get an RMS pin similar to the one below.  I am NOT looking for the Logistics cross or twisted paperclip design, I am looking for the Quill in an Ink Bottle design (actual trade).

Those trade badge pins were purchased through D'Costa Marketing in Halifax in the early 90s.  They were never a uniform item.  I don't know if D'Costa Marketing even exists anymore.  Unfortunately, I don't D'Costa ever made any money on them, so the supply dried up pretty quickly.  Although  they had them for Fin Clks and Adm Clks, by the time the RMS Clk was created and the badge designed, nobody was making these anymore.  I think you may be SOL.
