    Just got a set of the Federal Captain's bars. They are without a doubt, some of the finest I have seen being sold.

    I just received mine in the mail today. Could not be happier with the quality! Given the fact that I was looking for western theatre cav, I was quite particular in my search. The quality and authentic look of your product, was well worth the wait.

    Thank you,

    Mark

    Default A little clarity...

    I have had someone ask the question...

    "Are the US subdued rank sold as a pair or as individual bars/leaves?"

    The price is for a PAIR of the particular rank insignia.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Folks, you don't want to miss this opportunity. Supplies are dwindling.

    The small stars are SOLD OUT.

    The regular stars are running low.

    The CS Line Officer rank is below 15 available.

    The US subdued rank is selling fast - with less than 20 of each remaining.

    It may be some time before these are available again.

    Don't be sorry because you missed this opportunity!

    I can attest to the high quality of these insignias Pat has made available. I ordered the Confederate line officer (infantry) rank set (Captain, 1st and 2nd Lieutenant) and they get nothing but high praise for the products! For those of us who portray different ranks at events the versatility of the bars on the cloth is an ETREMELY helpful.

    Thanks Pat!
