36-tex Posted January 25, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 25, 2011 Here are two different felt on felt tech sgt ranks. The top one is white on blue and the bottom one is white on black. What say Ye about these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Ragan Posted January 25, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 25, 2011 Nice variations. I'd suspect foreign made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted January 25, 2011 Share #3 Posted January 25, 2011 Lee, when you say foreign made do you mean for use by a GI or for a foreign army? Do you think that color combo would go on an OD or khaki uniform or would it be for blues or whites? I don't really know what they are but had wondered if maybe they were a military school / ROTC or possibly police. I was thinking maybe the T was for a police training officer. Did either of you look in Emerson's CHEVRONS? I have been to lazy to so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted January 26, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 26, 2011 Looks British made to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Ragan Posted January 27, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 27, 2011 Looks British made to me. Probably so, and they were made for US Army personnel. I don't know of any other military formation using the "T" stripes except the US Army. (That don't mean somewhere, some other organization couldn't have tho.) Lots of US insignia was made overseas during the WWII era for use by US troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted January 28, 2011 Share #6 Posted January 28, 2011 Without knowing where they originally came from (eg., vet’s footlocker,), you have to consider the strong possibility they were recently made/created by somebody. To me, they just don’t have that original theater made “look” to them. The T’s are not formed well- rather amateurish. Looks like these were hand cut and sewn on a sewing machine. And they don’t exhibit any unique characteristics that would point to a country of origin – could have been anywhere, Britain, U.S., Sweden, ….wherever felt, thread, scissors, and a sewing machine could exist. Could be original, may not be. Just no way to know. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-tex Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted January 29, 2011 They are actually very well made. I will UV light them and let you know the results. I also do not think they were made or worn by non-military personnel. Just looked to cool to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
