Original British Army Lance Corporal chevrons for your uniform or collection.
Genuine Military History
These original British Army rank chevrons represent the rank of Lance Corporal. Issued between 1920 and 1953, they were used on wool uniforms during World War Two and World War One. A Lance Corporal was the assistant section leader in the infantry, often held by specialists like drivers or gunners.
Period Materials
Each patch is made from rough brown wool with a slightly fuzzy feel. They feature a white cotton herringbone pattern along the edges. This creates a strong contrast and look. These materials are very flexible, making them easy to sew onto sleeves.
Uniform Completion
These original patches are ideal for historical reenactment. Use them to complete your British Battle Dress tunic or World War One Service Dress. They are also a great addition for military collections or displays. Since they are original military surplus, they provide real history to your uniform.
Complete your British Army uniform with these original rank stripes.
This item was issued to the British Army during the WWII (1939–1945) and remains in Supergrade condition. It is unissued original surplus, but may have minor dust or storage marks from warehouse storage. We recommend giving it a wash or airing it out before wearing.
Supergrade is our highest condition rating for genuine military surplus. Items in this category are in near-new, top-tier condition and have seen little to no field use.
- Origin: Typically unissued reserve stock, trial gear, or kit issued but never actively deployed.
- Fabric & Materials: Crisp, fully intact, and structurally perfect with original color vibrancy and no fading.
- Hardware & Fastenings: Zips, press studs, hook-and-loop closures, and buckles operate like new with no functional wear.
- Markings & Repairs: No holes, tears, repairs, or personalized user markings. Factory issue labels and faint depot storage stamps may be present.
- Storage & Scent: May show minor creasing or light dust from transit. Like most authentic military surplus held in long-term dry storage, items may carry a faint warehouse scent that clears easily with a quick first wash or air-out.
