SgtMaddoxUSMC Posted December 4, 2014 Share #151 Posted December 4, 2014 I'm referring to where the chevrons terminate at the ends... I see most like the below Sergeant chevron where it actually will meet the seam of the sleeve and then like your Corporal chevron below which is cut at a 90 degree angle. Besides that they look relatively the same except the Sergeant has more of a swoop whereas your Corporal is fairly rigid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtlh2010 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share #158 Posted July 21, 2015 And here's a mid-war 1stSgt for the khaki service shirt...... In rough shape..... But rare. Not a matched pair; notice different construction quality and style. Also hard to find hashmarks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtlh2010 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share #159 Posted July 22, 2015 1917 pattern GySgt chevrons, for service dress. I am still skeptical of these, but others here gave these the thumbs up. I just don't like the sloppy, floppy fabric at the bottom arc and I don't like the embroidery of the bursting bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtlh2010 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share #160 Posted July 22, 2015 Another tunic w/ WW2 era bandsman chevrons. from my memory, this one went cheap - $100 maybe. I rmember the chevrons were clearly worth more than the final price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtlh2010 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share #161 Posted July 22, 2015 And another WW1 1stSgt.... Tunic looks put-together, but chevron looks legit. 5th Marines patch dosn't look period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtlh2010 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share #162 Posted July 22, 2015 These are the 1930s variety, pre-WW2 Tech. Sgt. These are the 2-piece construction gold tape chevrons on scarlet backing. Much harder to find than the more common embroidered versions. sSgt variety come up for sale every blue moon, but not these. When they do, they're always still sewn-on and never loose.

patrick_usmc Posted July 27, 2015 Share #163 Posted July 27, 2015 Another tunic w/ WW2 era bandsman chevrons. from my memory, this one went cheap - $100 maybe. I rmember the chevrons were clearly worth more than the final price. This one went for $35...I missed out and thought the auction ended 5 minutes later than it did. Still a bit sore about that one, I could really use some chevrons like that. Great tunic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted September 9, 2015 Share #164 Posted September 9, 2015 I recently picked up this pair of Mess Sergeant chevrons I thought I would share. Unfortunately there was only a single of each but I was still happy to run across them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMaddoxUSMC Posted September 10, 2015 Share #168 Posted September 10, 2015 I have to ask, where did you pick up these beauties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted September 10, 2015 Share #169 Posted September 10, 2015 I found them at a small gun show on the Gulf coast over the weekend-on Sunday on less. A dealer had a big bag of WW II USMC chevrons and service stripes, mostly Sergeant, Corporal, and Private stripes but these were mixed in. The show had been open all day the day before, Saturday, but I guess no one else had bothered to look through the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckyD Posted September 11, 2015 Share #170 Posted September 11, 2015 Siamundo-beautiful chevrons! Congrats!! I love the gulf coast. Grew up in Gulfport. Too bad my family still lives there (or else I could move back!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMaddoxUSMC Posted September 12, 2015 Share #175 Posted September 12, 2015 That was my thought. I know USMC never used light green on dark green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
