Specialist (X) 1st Class rank patch. Specialist X: Air Station Operations, Artist, Cartographer, Intelligence, Key Punch Operator, Pigeon Trainer, Plastics Expert, Public Information, Special Projects, Strategic Services, Switchboard Operator, Topographic Draftsman, other specialists not otherwise classified. The Specialist rating was created in late 1941 / early 1942 to allow for new enlisted ratings that would be needed in wartime but didn't fall within the established navy structure. Specialists could be appointed directly from civilian life to any petty officer grade, depending upon their skill level. 

CONDITION: Fair; it does have some issues (mostly staining). The worst staining is on the sleeve. There is light staining and spots throughout (it doesn't show up well in the photos, but it is there). Lots of very small brown specks. Noticeable stain by the rate patch. Some wear on the collar. Skirt has specks along the waistband and a spot near the pocket. It has not been laundered, so some of the staining / discoloration may come out. The skirt hem is sewn very oddly - there is some extra material and the skirt could be let down about 2".
