The central star is larger than the outer stars. The background is a light wool broadcloth on a pasteboard backing. These insignia were acquired at the same time a Georgia tailor’s archive came on the market that contained the original pattern for General Howell Cobb’s Confederate uniform. These insignia are possibly from that archive.
