are these WWII US Marine Corp stripes?

[kyhistorian01]

I have had these stripes for a long time and I wanted to find out for sure if they are WWII or some other time period before I display them. Thanks for the help.

I always thought that the embroidered ones (Cpl pair in post 2) were generally post WW-II.

Robert, do you still have these chevrons?  Specifically, the MSgt tan and green?

They are referred to as woven and definitely WW2.

They came around late in the war and were worn through the 50s.

Referring to the ones on the left (green on red), that was my opinion also.

Actually, intersting thing I just noticed about yours, they are actually Sgt ranks that have been folded up and modified to Cpls.  I can the lower stripe.
