VINTAGE: Circa late 1840's.

SIZE: Approximately 9-5/8" in height and 7" in width and 2-1/4" in depth (each board).

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Textured cotton, wood, bullion threads, wire spring coils, twine, silk ribbon and backing, wool padding, cardboard backing.

ATTACHMENT: Ribbon with twine.

MARKINGS: N/A.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAFJX07 LDGEX8/10 SLCGEX6/16 SeVDGEX01/20

CONDITION: 6+ (Fine-Very Fine): Shoulder boards have moderate to heavy soiling and tarnish but everything is intact.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
