Starfleet Uniform Rank Patches From Blue Science Uniform - STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES (1966 - 19


A grouping of Starfleet rank hash mark patches from Gene Roddenberry’s space adventure Star Trek: The Original Series. These two small diamond-shaped gold patches are each finished with golden metallic thread. Notably, segments of blue thread are still present on verso, indicating that the patches were previously attached and then removed from a science/medical uniform, the highest ranking belonging to Dr. Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy (DeForest Kelley). They were archived in the workroom of costume designer William Ware Theiss alongside other patches and jewelry identified from the original series. These patches from Theiss’ personal collection have been stored away from the damaging conditions often seen with traditional studio storage. Thereafter, archived by the Comisar Collection, they have been meticulously cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity controlled fine art warehouse. As a result, they are in very fine vintage condition overall. These patches, modeled on the ranking stripes of the U.S. Navy, appear on Starfleet captain’s, commander’s and lieutenant’s costumes throughout the series.

Dimensions (each): 1 ¼”x ½” (3 cm x 1 ½ cm)

Provenance: Mr. William Ware Theiss
