US Army Private First Class Insignia Pair

E-3 PFC Rank Insignia

This is a matched pair of US Army Private First Class insignia, the rank badge for pay grade E-3. Each piece carries a single chevron with a rocker beneath it, the curved bar that separates PFC from the plain chevron of a Private (E-2). Soldiers wear one on each sleeve, and the pair also serves collectors, reenactors and anyone restoring or completing an Army uniform with genuine issue rank.

Features

• Private First Class Rank — The chevron-over-rocker design identifies the wearer as an E-3, the third enlisted grade in the US Army.
• Sold As A Pair — Two matching insignia are included, one for the left sleeve and one for the right.
• Embroidered Gold Design — The chevron and rocker are stitched in gold thread, so the rank reads as raised texture rather than a flat print.
• Dark Embroidered Field — A dense dark fill inside the chevron makes the gold outline stand out clearly against the sleeve.
• Merrowed Green Border — A tightly overstitched green edge, known as a merrowed border, wraps the outline and keeps the fabric from fraying.
• Cotton Construction — The insignia are made from cotton, the same material listed in the issue specification.
• Regulation Pattern — The insignia follow US Army uniform regulation for E-3 rank, with the size, shape and colors the service prescribes.

Genuine Army Issue

These are authentic US Army insignia made to the service's own pattern for Private First Class, not a commercial copy. The gold-on-green coloring and the point-up chevron with its single rocker match the rank as the Army authorizes it for wear on uniform sleeves. For a uniform build or a rank display, issue insignia give you correct proportions and colors that aftermarket patches often miss.
