US Army Captain Collar Chevron on OD Single.

US Army Captain Collar Chevron on OD Single This single captain's collar chevron represents the officer rank insignia worn on the service uniform of the United States Army. Constructed on olive drab (OD) backing, this piece reflects the standard-issue design used during the mid-20th century military era. Captain rank chevrons were sewn onto the collar of dress uniforms and service coats, serving as the primary visual identifier of an officer's command authority and pay grade. The single chevron format distinguishes this from paired insignia worn on sleeves or shoulder boards. Olive drab backing was the predominant color for Army insignia during World War II through the Vietnam War period, making this an authentic example of period-correct officer insignia.

Collectors value these pieces for their historical accuracy and connection to American military hierarchy and uniform regulations. A notable addition to any military insignia collection or uniform study.
