Title: Mess Dress Shoulder Boards
Post by: 0 on November 04, 2007, 12:24:19 PM
This could go either way as being here or Marketplace so I flipped a coin.

Is it possible just to buy the Grade Insignia for the Shoulder Boards?  I've got one board where the insignia has fallen off and I'm not sure where it happened.  I don't feel like going out and buying another brand new set just for one event.

Vanguard sells the mess dress grade insignia, and The Hock also can get them for you, Comes in sets of two.

If tom's got it he'll send them that day if you call early enough.  I ordered full service dress ribbons, nametag, clothing, insignia etc.  And had them by 10Am the next morning

I think we are missing NERMA's point.

The rank insignia dropped of his mess dress board.  The "Bullion rank".  I really don't know if anyone sells just the rank insignia.  I have never seen it.  But you can always call vanguard.

Vanguard and The Hock both had it. Vanguard sells the shoulder boards bare, without grade and you buy the grade separately.

I have a set of Captains I could mail tomorrow. You could send me 10 bucks in the mail.  Send me a PM if that is the set you need.

You can also get the insignia at Marlow White: they sell them for the sleeves of the Army mess-dress, but it's the same thing.

Thanks for your help everyone.   I just got off the phone with Tom and he had a set in stock.
