      Patent No. checks out to an issue of 1958:

      Vietnam era makes sense.

      I suspect that the adornment on the visor means it is for a field grade. The US Army does this for Majors and above-- I am not certain if the Navy follows the same protocol.

      What makes this Coast Guard? Sure looks like USN insignia on it--thought the CG had a different insignia.
