Original WW2 British Army Sergeant Rank Chevrons supplied as a matched pair for wartime uniforms.
Wartime Service History
Worn by British Army Non-Commissioned Officers between 1920 and 1953, these 3-bar rank chevrons designated the vital role of Sergeant. Sergeants led platoons and sections across every theatre of the Second World War. Sewn directly onto the upper arms of 1937 and 1940 Pattern Battledress blouses, this insignia provided clear command recognition under combat conditions.
Materials and Construction
Each chevron is constructed with a heavy khaki-brown wool backing that matches standard British woollen serge. The three distinct V-shaped stripes feature dense white cotton embroidery stitched in a classic herringbone weave. This coarse, tightly woven build ensured the insignia maintained its shape through hard field wear, harsh weather, and repeated laundering.
Uniform Application
Supplied as an unissued Supergrade matched pair, these patches measure roughly 15 cm by 7.5 cm for period-correct proportion. They are ready to be hand or machine sewn to tunic arms, Greatcoats, or collector display boards. Original surplus stock guarantees genuine period texture and weave that modern synthetic copies fail to replicate.
Stitch a pair of genuine wartime NCO chevrons onto your uniform to finish your historical impression.
This item was used by the British Army during the WWII (1939–1945) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
