Siamundo Posted July 21, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 21, 2019 This was in a mixed group of US military patches I recently picked up and don't recognize it at all. I looked through what US Army chevron reference material I could find but not pictured a diamond device. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake1941 Posted July 21, 2019 Share #3 Posted July 21, 2019 Certainly looks pre-WW2. But the color and material looks Army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted July 21, 2019 Share #4 Posted July 21, 2019 1920s 30s ROTC??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted July 21, 2019 Thank you both. I agree that I have a feeling it is possibly 1920's or 30's vintage and probably army. Hadn't thought about ROTC, but maybe it could be a cadet rank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Ragan Posted July 21, 2019 Share #6 Posted July 21, 2019 It is an Army Air Force Aviation Cadet 1st Sergeant chevron. Check Emerson's book on Army chevrons. These were phased out after WWII when the independent USAF was created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted July 21, 2019 Oh cool, thank you Lee. I had checked different random articles from Mr Emerson online and through ASMIC but hadn't run across this one. I appreciate the ID! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
