What insignia is this?
While going through stuff from my grandma's house, we found a bunch of old WWII insignia's of my grandpa's. I figured out what most of them are, but I can't find out what these two are:

http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd348/plushiedr... (white globe on black)
Sorry my camera sucks. But yeah. If anybody knows what they are, I'd appreciate the help. Me and my dad think they might be Nazi insignias, but not 100% sure. Thank you in advance

Those are both US Navy rating insignia. They showed what your Navy job was and you worn them on the sleeve of your navy blue uniform.
The globe is for an Electrician's Mate. (Electrical repair)
The Keys and feather are for a Chief Commissary Steward (Ship's store purchase, sales and accounts)
See these pictures of WW2 rating badges:
Source(s): The modern US Navy rating insignia is still the same for Electricians. The Ship's Serviceman is slightly different. Links to pictures below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=6759... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrician%27s_Mate - HayleyLv 71 decade ago
Doesn't look like Nazi insignia, wermacht, luftwaffe or SS...
Looks more native american than anything else...
