Civil War Nco S Brass Shoulder Scales Original

This is a very well made pari of noncomissioned officer's shoulder scales from the civil war period. These scales were part of the regulation dress uniform for ncos, and appear in many period photographs. This is a particularly nice pair, in that the undersides are fully rounded, unlike some more cheaply made scales, i. There are no sharp edges, the scales originally had red wool lining, but it is only retained on one.
