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
