udging by pictures taken in the field, there was not only a wide variety of Hospital Steward chevrons during the war, but varieties existed within a particlar unit. This example was copied from an orignial sold by the Union Drummer Boy in Gettysburg. It features a silk cadeusus; the lenghtwise borders are patterned gold wire braid.

We have used top materials in this reproduction, Kochan Phillips wool broadcloth, and 100% gold wire braid. The cadeusus, as noted, is hand embroidered in 100% silk.
