1851-71 Civil War era US Army and Marine Officer's Gold Epaulets

By Regulations, all US Army and Marine Officers were to wear these gold Epaulets at all occasions were the Full Dress uniform Frockcoat was worn. Our beautiful reproduction Gold Epaulets are available in three different diameters of gold fringe (also called "Bullion") for the different ranks; Second Lieutenant's thru General in Chief from 1851 thru 1871. Generals only after that date until 1889. Starting in 1872 officer ranks below General were to use the Shoulder Knots. (Imported)

We offer a heavy duty (.085 thickness) paste board box to store your Epaulets in for $24.95. Due to limited quantities, we can only offer these if purchased with Epaulets.

Rank insignia are available at extra cost and are in stock. Supplied loose for you to install. The ranks of Second Lieutenant and Major do not have any insignia on the Epaulets- the fringe diameter designates the rank.

Regimental Discs are available at extra cost and take about 10 weeks to get from the maker.(Imported) If you order these, specify Branch of Service and Regimental number desired. These can be ordered thru the specific choice boxes below and are left for you to install. Generals and officers serving on the General Staff did not wear Regimental discs.
