Straps have the usual convex stamped brass false embroidered single border. The surfaces of each have a nice patina. The light blue velvet rank field is in nice condition with very light wear and much nap remaining. Each have stamped brass false embroidered 1st Lieutenant bars.

The reverse is backed by blue fabric without nap and each is stamped with a red manufacturer’s marking, crediting Smith of New York with the construction and design.  One of the pieces is missing some backing material along the left and right edges, revealing a small portion of the plain paper board.

A great pair of items for the discerning collector of Civil War officer accessories and accoutrements. [cm][ph:L]
