OFFICERS' SHOULDER STRAPS

Bent, St. Vrain & Co. offers silver and gold bullion shoulder straps for Officers


These shoulder straps are the smaller, pre-Civil War 
types.  Despite the change to a larger size, these appear
frequently in Civil War collections.  Hand embroidered 
with bright and dead gold bullion.  In every case, the 
border of the strap is to be the same color as the button
of the uniform.  Bent, St. Vrain offers straps for Second 
Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain, and Major. 
Note:  The 1851 regulations changed the color of the
 Major's straps.  After 1851 the oak leaves were gold.

All straps, save Major, are available in Infantry silver,
as well.

Price $25.00 a pair.

These copies are hand-embroidered in bright and
