USMC or Artillery Officer
Shoulder Knots.
|
Shoulder Knots as used by US Marine and Artillery Officers
(on their fatigue jackets) during the Civil War era are shown
here. Technical name for these during the War was “Russian Knots”,
however both terms are used today.
A gold 1/4” cord is
woven in the correct pattern with red wool underlay. We offer two styles
for Company Grade Officers (Captains and Lieutenants) -Standard and
Extra Rich. The Extra Rich design has the shoulder end loops more
extended. Only one style is offered for Field Grade Officers.
Ranks shown in the photo are of Second Lieutenant on both Company Grade
knots and Major on the Field Grade knot as these ranks did not use any
other insignia.
Knots on this page are
sold separate from a uniform. They are “By-the Pair” and include
attaching hardware and buttons of your choice- US Marine or US Artillery
Officer.
