Hello everybody, I was hoping someone could help me with the following question(s): Did US Navy officers with the rank of master wear, at any time (e.g. before the 1862 officer uniform changes), a single-breasted frock coat? Or did they always wear a double-breasted one? Also, did their caps have a single stripe of gold braid or two smaller stripes? And which way did the fouled anchor cap insignia point, to the left or to the right? OK so now I see it was really three questions. Many thanks to whomever can answer my questions and shed some light on this. (I'm presuming a "master" and a "master's mate" were two different ranks, correct?).
