USMC Private First Class PFC E-2 Novelty Patch Pair Red Gold Sew-On 2-3/8" x 3"

This is a pair of Novelty United States Marine Corps (USMC) enlisted rank insignia for a Private First Class (PFC/E-2). The design consists of a single gold chevron on a red background, which is the authorized color combination for the Marine Corps Service "A" (Alpha) dress uniform. Measuring approximately 2-3/8" H x 3" W, these are female size patches, featuring a smaller profile than male-sized insignia to properly fit the tailored sleeves of the female service coat. As sew-on patches, they are intended for permanent application on both uniform sleeves. These chevrons are a fundamental piece for collectors of Marine Corps dress insignia or those focused on uniform restorations.
