US Private First Class Rank - Khaki on Blue - WW2

This US Arm Rank Insignia – Private First Class features the distinctive single chevron design, embroidered in khaki thread over a blue cloth base. The khaki-on-blue combination was worn on U.S. Army uniforms during WWII and continued into the immediate postwar years, making it a great choice for historically themed kits, restoration projects, and collectors who want the correct period style.

The Private First Class rank chevron (one stripe) identifies an enlisted soldier above Private. During WWII, the U.S. Army used several color combinations for sleeve insignia depending on uniform type and production era. Khaki on blue was used alongside olive drab on blue beginning in 1942, and this style remained in use through 1948. It’s a recognizable detail for accurate WWII impressions.
