The product is a reproduction Confederate insignia from the Civil War era, specifically designed for reenactments and collectors interested in military history. This item falls under the Militaria theme, representing a piece of American conflict and war memorabilia. Perfect for those looking to add authenticity and detail to their Civil War reenactment outfits or to display as a collectible item reflecting on this significant period in American history. They appear to be made of wool. They are square & measure 2 1/2". The star is a mystery to me. I got it in the same lot, but I'm not sure which side the wearer was on. It measures 2.75" across. I will combine shipping. Please be sure to check out my other vintage auctions.
