Civil War Colonel Extra Rich Shoulder Boards - Straps

Civil War Army Colonel Extra Rich Shoulder Straps

 You are bidding on your choice of any ONE PAIR of hand-embroidered

American Civil War Army Colonel's Extra Rich Shoulder Straps.

These are NON-REGULATION!! Since officers purchased their own uniforms, the more dashing the individual the more he customize his uniform to fit his personality!

While there are plenty of examples our there, I have attached photos of 5 Colonels wearing the extra rich straps.

These are an exclusive offer and you will not find a comparable set anywhere!!!They are made of gold & silver bullion embroidered on velour, so they will age like the originals when exposed to the elements.  And, while many variation existed at the time, these particular straps are modeled after a set worn by Colonel Luther Prentiss Bradley, late of the 51st Illinois Volunteer Infantry, who was wounded twice at Chickamauga and again at Spring Hill during the Battle of Franklin! His uniform is on display at the Army Heritage Center, U.S. Army War College, Carlisle Barracks, PA and these straps are accurate to the original including the eagle's dark amber glass eye!

 Since they are hand-embroidered the straps you receive may vary slightly from the picture you see here.  Each strap measures 4 3/4” (110mm) x 2 1/4” (55mm) 

 By comparison, standard straps (as shown and available on another listing) measure 4" (105mm) x 1 3/8” (35mm)
