British Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander Shoulder Rank Epaulettes Pair RN

a pair of old salty RN pattern Lt CDR rank shoulder boards by Starkey of London. Each approx 5.3" by 2.2" with gilt Kings Crown pattern buttons. The branch distinction colours appear to have been removed from these which suggests use post 1955 despite the buttons. Not unusual for reserve or cadet officers. The Rye Lane address for the manufacturer means they were probably made in 1952. Similar items worn by some Commonwealth navies..
