Reproduction cloth officer rank pips for the British Royal Army Medical Corps – R.A.M.C.
These traditional British Army officer rank stars are made on a maroon cloth backing, suitable for Royal Army Medical Corps officer uniforms. They are designed to be sewn onto the shoulder straps or epaulettes of a British Army officer's uniform.
The distinctive star-shaped British officer rank insignia is commonly known as a “pip” or rank star. The number of pips, and their combination with an officer's crown, determines the wearer's rank.
Supplied as a pair: 2 rank pips.
