The decree is from 1947. I discussed this with Matt a few weeks ago and the conclusion was that there is wrong info online (like also on this wikipedia page) and that officialy it was instituted in '47 (June or July out of my head).
Yes, I thought so, as every post I have seen on this badge states June '47by Marcel Banziger

Do you have an Excellent Torpedo Specialist badge?
Nick
That is the only one missing in my collection. It is not the most rare but I have difficulties finding this one.
Good luck, I'm sure you will hunt one down soon

It takes a lot of luck. The same with the submariner and baker. Sometimes a bit of luck is all we need to find that missing piece
The right place at the right time !It takes a lot of luck. The same with the submariner and baker. Sometimes a bit of luck is all we need to find that missing piece
I wanna share another badge that recently arrived, a beautiful first variant Excellent pontoneer. The only wartime Excellence badge with blue enamel.
This is an absolute Jewel Marcel!
I was only reading about this award today and hey presto!... you produce one!
