<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 1594135, member: 4703&quot;]According to my Beautiful Bride, the back refers to the Yokuska First Naval District, which dates the badge to the period 1889 (when the facility established in 1866 in Tokyo Bay was renamed) to 1945 (when the facility became the U.S. Navy&#039;s Yokusuka Naval Base at the end of WWII).&nbsp; It remains one of the US Navy&#039;s largest off-shore installations, with a small part being used by the Japanese Marine Self Defense Force.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;seal script used on the front is a variant form of characters primarily used modernly for personal seals, which is quite difficult to read.&nbsp; The BB is researching it, and if she is successful, I&#039;ll post the translation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
