29navy Posted March 8, 2023 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2023 No, it was a legitimate USAAC Corporal pre-WWII rank badge.. Not sure when they actually dropped the winged propeller part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, the chevrons were available not so much from an ' Army-Navy ' store but from mail-order Military Equipment Supply Companies. A page on Chevrons is shown below from one such New York company, the catalog is dated 1941-1942. Very interesting information can be found in such catalogs. It shows an extra charge of 25 cents is charged for required insignia to be embroidered to chevrons. . regards lewis. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
