Product Overview
These Civil War First Sergeant Chevrons are historically accurate reproductions of the rank insignia worn by First Sergeants, also known as Orderly Sergeants, during the American Civil War. The distinctive design features three inverted bars with a centered diamond above the point, symbolizing senior enlisted leadership and company-level authority.
Each chevron is constructed on a period-correct wool background, available in dark blue for Union Army impressions or gray for Confederate Army uniforms. The rank stripes are made from half-inch cotton tape in the appropriate branch-of-service color, applied to closely match original Civil War construction. The lozenge (diamond) is positioned accurately to reflect authentic wartime examples.
Sold as a matched pair, these chevrons are intended for sleeve wear and are suitable for reenactments, living history events, museum displays, and historically accurate uniform collections. Background and stripe colors may be selected to match your specific Union or Confederate uniform configuration.
