May 14, 20179 yr #51 Here is one of the sleeve chevron stencil kits on display at the NMMC. Interestingly, this particular one does not have the diamond for the First Sergeant rank like most of the other marking kits I have seen (also seen in post 46). I have owned two, a blue and a green kit, and both had the diamond. Perhaps this was an earlier production or a prototype marking kit.
May 14, 20179 yr #52 Here is the full set of the first official issue wide metal collar chevrons. These were also worn on field covers I believe. 11393024_10207144115305517_8062250381197091839_n.jpg Just checked the YT footage. Yep when in utilities, Webb is wearing these, on both the cap, and the collar, so given that The DI was released in May 1957, that means it was shot sometime in 1956, so at least we know by that date.

November 19, 20223 yr #63 Looks like these were used in a display and glued with prongs removed. Someone did a repair to reuse.
