USMCRECON Posted March 20, 2008 Share #27 Posted March 20, 2008 At top are what I believe, are WW-I Col eagles. they are quite a bit larger than the standard blouse-sized Eagles. Bottm is a pair of H-H market Capt rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCRECON Posted March 20, 2008 Share #28 Posted March 20, 2008 Here are a pair of H-H marked shirt-sized Capt rank. They have a rather unusual locking device, one often found on 20s nursing pins and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCRECON Posted March 20, 2008 Share #29 Posted March 20, 2008 Here's a whole handful of mostly blouse-sized Capt pairs. All of them are sterling with "C" clasps but none have a mfg mark on them. There are twelve matched sets and two loose singles. I think this is probably enough for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCRECON Posted March 20, 2008 Share #30 Posted March 20, 2008 Here's one last one. It's sort of an example of how NOT to take care of your faux embroidered rank insignia. This LtCol pair have been polished to within an inch of their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCRECON Posted March 21, 2008 Share #32 Posted March 21, 2008 While digging out the coffin-style rank, I came across this pair ot faux embroidered rank that I couldn't find earlier. These look almost identical to the pair Craig posted above. These are shirt-sized and they have the same markings on the nuts as the ones Craig posted.

seanmc1114 Posted October 18, 2008 Share #36 Posted October 18, 2008 Found this WW1 chart showing the false embroidery rank insignia. Was there no rank of 2nd Lieutenant before World War I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone Posted March 12, 2009 Share #37 Posted March 12, 2009 Was there no rank of 2nd Lieutenant before World War I? No The butter bar did not enter use until around 1917. Before that you were the guy in the Officer's uniform with no rank insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
