This is an amazing pair of non-regulation Civil War Quartermaster chevrons. These are made of light blue silk stripes sewn to a dark blue wool background patch, which in turn would be sewn to the sleeve of the dress frock coat or the fatigue blouse. There is some very scattered mothing to the dark blue wool, and some patches of slight discoloration to be found on these.
These also feature a brown cotton backing and excellent machine stitch work.
Wartime images and extant uniforms show some variety in the chevrons used, some home-made and some likely commercially-made as these seem to be.
These have great color, display very nicely, and would be an important part of an infantry uniform collection. [jet] [ph:L]
