ARVN Major Rank

[ChopperGunner92]

I am unsure on what rank this is. I will really appreciate any help. Thank You

That looks like an RVN army officer rank for 2nd Lt. It appears you have the original plastic clutches for it as well. I don't know if the bar at the bottom means anything else.

Actually it's an ARVN Thieu Ta (Major) rank

 

RVN rank was worn by US advisors when attached to ARVN units 'in country'

If it didn't have that bar, it would be a 2LT. But, the bar indicates field grade, so this one is a major.

The colors of the metal have significance. The Army used a silver blossom over a gold bar. The VNAF switched the colors, circa 1970, to gold blossom over silver bar, and the Natl Police used all silver (usually affixed to green "sliders").
