Any Rare Ones in the Group?

Hello Forum, Just wondering if there are any rare rank patches in this group. They are all sewn onto what appears to be a general purpose Khaki twill bag of some sort. Thanks for looking!

Nice pieces!

I would say the Post Quartermaster Sgt (crossed key and quill beneath 3 chevrons) is the best one. In the decades before WW2, the military supplier, Bannerman's had huge amounts of these style chevrons they purchased as surplus from the Gov't. In an attempt to market them better, they had them sewn to a piece of cloth (commonly khaki) in various arrangements. Yours appears to be such an example.

I agree!

Thanks for the info! I had no idea there was a Bannerman connection.

Agree with the assessment of the others on the QM patch. That's what I collect and I've never found one before. Nice find!
