An authentic pair of matched US Marine Corps issue regulation dress blue Staff Sergeant (E-6) chevrons. Vietnam era pattern raw edged as issued 

This pair is made on a deeper scarlet red wool as seen in the earliest versions of these chevrons that utilized old stock WWII and Korean war wool for manufacture. They have raw edges and date 1959-63 most likely, from a collector's collection of patches. Crossed M1 "Garand" rifles. I have only this pair of this rank. I have listed another pair but they are for a USMC Corporal, E-4
