Product Overview
These Civil War Epaulettes in gold are premium reproduction officer shoulder boards crafted to accurately match the styling and presentation of 19th-century U.S. military uniforms. Designed for ranks ranging from General to Second Lieutenant, each pair delivers the period-correct detail collectors and reenactors expect from high-quality uniform accessories.
Constructed with metallic gold thread and solid brass bases, these epaulettes replicate the refined yet authoritative look worn by Union officers during the American Civil War. The tassels are crafted to historically accurate proportions, giving each rank its proper visual distinction.
General, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, and Major epaulettes feature longer 3.5-inch tassels measuring approximately 0.25 inch in diameter, while Captain, First Lieutenant, and Second Lieutenant epaulettes are fitted with the correct 2.5-inch tassels at 0.125 inch diameter. This attention to detail ensures authenticity whether you're outfitting a reenactor uniform, assembling a museum-quality display, or completing a historically inspired costume.
Sold as a matching pair, these epaulettes provide a polished, authoritative finish to any Civil War officer portrayal. They are ideal for reenactors, collectors of military regalia, theatrical productions, and anyone seeking accurate Civil War period uniform components.
Note: Rank insignia plates are sold separately.
