    Description

    This original pair of Model 1898 chevrons for a Cavalry Sergeant are in unissued condition.
    These cotton twill chevrons were made to be worn on the Model 1898/1899 cotton twill khaki field uniform.  The chevrons for this uniform were made of cotton rather than the usual wool to ensure that they shrunk proportionally to the uniform when laundered.
    The chevrons have three yellow stripes with dark blue silk chain stitching.
    These chevrons are in excellent, unissued condition.  The stitching is tight and strong, and there are no tears, holes or moth damage to the material.
    The chevrons measure approximately 10½ inches across.
