Product Overview
These Civil War Ordnance Sergeant Chevrons are historically accurate reproductions of the distinctive rank insignia worn by Ordnance Sergeants in both the Union and Confederate armies. Identified by three inverted bars with a centered star, this chevron design represented a specialized enlisted rank responsible for weapons, ammunition, and military supplies.
Crafted on a period-correct wool background, these chevrons are available in dark blue for Union impressions or gray for Confederate uniforms. The rank stripes are applied using cotton or silk tape in the appropriate branch-of-service color, closely matching original Civil War construction methods. Cotton tape was the most commonly issued material during the war and is supplied by default to ensure historical accuracy unless silk tape is specifically requested.
Sold as a matching pair, these chevrons are designed for sleeve wear and provide the proper visual authority expected of an Ordnance Sergeant impression. They are ideal for reenactments, living history events, museum displays, uniform restorations, and serious Civil War military collections.
When ordering, select your background color, stripe color, and tape type to match your specific Union or Confederate uniform configuration.
