jasonc Posted January 31, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 31, 2015 Thought I'd share a couple of pairs of USMC trumpeter ranks I picked up recently. They're equivalent to the rank of Private, which I believe would have been the seventh grade. I know that these went away when the rank system was simplified around 1937, but any more specifics about the uniforms and period would certainly be welcome.

jasonc Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted January 31, 2015 This pair is interesting because they seem to have been colored gold at some point--the trumpets are clearly red at the edges and on the back. And a bit of the gold color is on the fabric in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonc Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks! You're right, they do show up often enough, with variations in color and pattern, if you are into that. Haven't run across one for a drummer yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
