raylemere Posted October 29, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 29, 2015 I am almost done remaking my grandfathers m51 field jacket but the last part is the rank the PFC patches. Would I use the normal single chevron or should I use the PFC with the arch under it? I looked on wiki and it said that the PFC with the arch was made after 1968 or so. So I am thinking the normal single chevron, I've looked in pictures of my Grandfather but there's no clear image of a the arms were the rank would be. He was in between 1961 and 1963.

B229 Posted October 29, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 29, 2015 It would be the single chevron, in Yellow-gold on Army Green. The PFC rank with a rocker wasn't added until 1968. Here is a good history of US Army EM's rank insignia: http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Catalog/HeraldryMulti.aspx?CategoryId=9168&grp=2&menu=Uniformed%20Services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
