SgtMaddoxUSMC Posted May 14, 2017 Share #51 Posted May 14, 2017 Here is one of the sleeve chevron stencil kits on display at the NMMC. Interestingly, this particular one does not have the diamond for the First Sergeant rank like most of the other marking kits I have seen (also seen in post 46). I have owned two, a blue and a green kit, and both had the diamond. Perhaps this was an earlier production or a prototype marking kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted May 14, 2017 Share #52 Posted May 14, 2017 Here is the full set of the first official issue wide metal collar chevrons. These were also worn on field covers I believe. 11393024_10207144115305517_8062250381197091839_n.jpg Just checked the YT footage. Yep when in utilities, Webb is wearing these, on both the cap, and the collar, so given that The DI was released in May 1957, that means it was shot sometime in 1956, so at least we know by that date.

benguttery Posted October 14, 2017 Share #60 Posted October 14, 2017 Could I get you to see if this is in the catalog? It's an F-111, but I have never known the meaning. It was made by Ken Nolan. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otter42 Posted November 19, 2022 Share #64 Posted November 19, 2022 Looks like these were used in a display and glued with prongs removed. Someone did a repair to reuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
