No Three (the soviet "V" stripes):

According to the 1989 regulation these are stripes for service years (2 and 3 years) for warrant officers.

I'll get those labeled right away.. Thanks Joni!!!

#2 is a USMC private cheveron for the female summer uniform, 1950's-1970's.

I think these may be Malaysian Air Force wings

Thanks Filupe. I'll label them as such. Those were part of a large lot buy, so no idea and there was a scatter of stuff both time period, country, and branch-wise.

Thanks Albano! I'll label those and move 'em where they go. Thanks to you too Vicka! AP, This might be WW2. It looks newer to me tho. I swear I've seen this tank patch before.

Sorry. Definitely not WW2 German. Finnish Defense Forces Panssarintorjuntamies units (anti-tank units)
Probably an old design but definitely FDF.


Actual issued patch


Best regards

Thanks Albano. ID'ed and moved.

Here's some new ones for you guys.

Any of our British or Canadian members recognize any of the last few patches and tabs?? I know most are either British or Canadian. I'm pretty sure they are WW2 era. None of my books show them tho.

The Black one with the horses and flags things are for Warrant officer Army or Navy.
The next on right to the black one might be some sort of Warrant Officer insignia, not sure.

U can search for page called >>>uniforminsignia.org<<< there you migt find more info on rank insignia as the page covers most of the world´s rank insignia.
Hope that will be helpfull...
