hirsca Posted July 22, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2013 Came in a small box of US rank, DUI's, BOS, etc. The white parts are ceramic/porcelain inserts, not painted on. Slightly curved. Open C catch and pin opens to about 60 degrees. No maker's mark. Measures a bit over 1" wide. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdWarRules Posted July 22, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 22, 2013 I know British chevrons are sometimes white and curved more than U.S ones. But I'm not 100% sure. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Ragan Posted July 23, 2013 Share #7 Posted July 23, 2013 I agree it's probably from one of the British Commonwealth countries. I would suspect it was made to be worn pinned on some sort of field cap. JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebuddy Posted July 23, 2013 Share #8 Posted July 23, 2013 The more i look at it , it reminds me of the rank insignia worn by British sevice men in fact im going to stick my neck out and say it is British ! looks very similar to the rank insinia used by the Army Catering Corps on their "whites" LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
