Civil War Federal Issue Infantry Corporal Chevrons

Description

Stylized version of the standard insignia for Corporals. Available in red, yellow or sky blue tape on a dark blue backing, or dark blue tape on a light backing. Please browse the gallery below to see the variety of chevrons used in the Federal Army.
Note that our chevrons are made from custom dyed worsted herringbone twill tape. Although the vertical rib tape was still in use, it was predominantly a carry over from an earlier period. In addition, our chevrons clean finished at the point and outside edge. We have seen reproductions offered in a raw edged mohair braid which is highly prone to raveling and fraying. While I do not doubt that raw edged chevrons may have existed, I have yet to find one that was arsenal or contractor produced.
