Product Overview
The Chevrons – Ordnance Sergeant – Civil War are accurate reproductions of the distinctive rank insignia worn by Ordnance Sergeants during the American Civil War.
Featuring three bars with a central star, these chevrons represent a unique rank used by both Union and Confederate armies. They are constructed on dark blue or gray wool backgrounds, depending on the side being portrayed, and reflect period-correct materials and proportions.
The tape pattern is available in cotton or silk, with colors corresponding to the appropriate branch of service such as Infantry, Artillery, or Cavalry. Cotton tape, the most commonly used option during the Civil War, is supplied by default unless silk is specifically requested.
Sold as a matched pair, these chevrons are ideal for reenactment, living history, collection, or uniform restoration.
