Good Afternoon,

 

I came across this interesting rank patch, I’ve never seen one before nor collect patches so I’m hoping someone could help me out. Thanks again.

1920’s/1930’s US Army Specialist 6th Class Chevron. Having the musician insignia makes it the unauthorized version (which were frequently purchased and worn) The authorized version would not have the “branch” emblem. These specialist chevrons had up to 6 chevrons (1st Class) These specialists received higher pay for technical abilities, but did not have leadership roles. Other versions were for cooks, medical, etc
