The operator's qualification badge for officers of the Radio Technical Service of the Signal Corps was introduced in 1956 and issued for only
a short time. In 1961, this and other officer qualification badges for various branches of service were replaced with a single Combined Arms
Proficiency badge in four classes. Because Radio Specialist proficiency badges were issued for only a short time, they are quite difficult to
find - especially the highest class in such a perfect condition!
