Original US Army Private Collar Rank | Subdued | Used
Description
Add authentic character to your junior enlisted field uniform.
-
Usage: The Private (E-2) rank is the first insignia a soldier earns after PV1. Subdued cloth ranks were issued to maintain camouflage discipline and are sewn onto both collar points of the field shirt.
-
Design: The insignia consists of a single upward-pointing chevron, affectionately known in military slang as a "Mosquito Wing". High-quality black embroidery on a durable OD green twill backing.
-
Condition: Used Military Surplus (Uniform Removed). These patches have a fantastic "salty" look. Removed from actual issued garments, the edges are naturally folded, and you might even find remnants of the original sewing thread. This makes them incredibly easy to sew flat onto your vintage uniform restoration project.
