Shoulder Boards - Medical Staff - Civil War

These Civil War Medical Staff Shoulder Boards are historically accurate reproductions of the shoulder boards worn by Medical Staff officers during the American Civil War. The design matches period shoulder boards used across other army branches, distinguished by the letters “MS”, placed either in the center or on both sides, identifying Medical Staff service.

The boards feature metallic thread embroidery on a velvet surface with a wool backing, closely replicating original materials and construction methods. Attention to detail ensures the correct appearance for accurate officer impressions.

Sold as a matched pair, these shoulder boards are suitable for reenactments, living history events, museum displays, and historically accurate uniform restorations.
