ca. 1879 INFANTRY CORPORAL GREAT COAT CHEVRONS –
VERY NICE PAIR: These dark blue chevrons were
introduced in 1879 specifically for the Infantry
soldiers to wear on the sleeves of their greatcoats,
rather than the white wool chevrons worn on their
blouses or five button sack coats as they are also
known. Of the same pattern and material as the standard
Model 1872 Infantry Chevrons, this pair of original
Indian War Period US Army Infantry Corporal Chevrons is
made of the same type of wool as the white chevrons and
is trimmed with a white cording per the regulations.
Both chevrons are in excellent condition and show no
evidence of use, wear or soiling. This set will be an
attractive piece to display with your collection. $40
