gap Posted March 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2018 Picked these up with a group of early WW2 USMC tan chevrons. Are these USGI? Measure about 2 3/4 inches wide. I suspect they are for female marines??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gap Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share #2 Posted March 7, 2018 They are green on white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth Thompson Posted March 7, 2018 Share #3 Posted March 7, 2018 Female Marine for the seersucker uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gap Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted March 7, 2018 Garth, were these implemented in 1952? My understanding is that female Marines wore the same chevrons as men during the war. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not real sure about chevron size in WW2 but WMs did have the green seersucker uniform during the war. http://www.blitzkriegbaby.de/homepage.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gap Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted March 7, 2018 From the Blitzkrieg Baby site, it looks like the summer dress and seersucker uniforms sport green on white chevrons similar to mine. Not entirely clear in the photographs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gap Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted March 7, 2018 Garth, maybe you should move this topic to the USMC section of Ranks and Rates seeing these are definitely not US Army chevrons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpin Jack Posted March 7, 2018 Share #9 Posted March 7, 2018 The smaller size ratings shown above are, as Garth stated, but I'm not so sure they were worn on the seersucker dress as these were normally green on white. They were possibly worn on the khaki shirt. Yes, they were worn during WWII. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the white is faded/yellowed somewhat, it is white. Pix is not the best, but in hand it's very obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
