Found this chevron, what era?

[subsystem4]

Anybody Know what era this chevron is? I thought it might be an early previous service or overseas service type chevron, but i really have no clue.

It has a coating on the back.

The color is a liitle dark, but it looks like a fairly recent US Army Private E-2 chevron for the Army Green service uniform. It could have also been worn on the khaki uniforms and, before subdued insignia came into use around 1968, on field uniforms. For a time this chevron represented the grade of Private First Class. I'm sorry, I don't know the time period for that usage.

The edge material is a very dark blue. It seemed a little small for a regular army pfc stripe but i only collect navy insignia so what do i know

If it's smaller, it could be a female stripe. The blue edging also makes me think of the new army dress blues, but I know nothing about them.

 

It's definitely some sort of Pvt or Pfc stripe though. The actual grade changes due to the era it was used in..

If the background is dark blue and small size, it's Army dress blue chevron for Pvt. If it's only slightly smaller than the standard 3" wide Army chevrons, it's the newer "unisex", Army chevron design. They measure about 2 1/2" wide and can be worn by males or females on the dress blue uniform.
