Blog: What colours are the rank stars available in?
The rank stars are available in a shiny gilt finish, which is suitable for service dress uniforms. They also come in a darkened bronze finish, which is intended for combat uniforms. Both options are reproductions of the original rank pips. The bronze stars are difficult to find in matching sets elsewhere.
How do the rank stars attach to a uniform?
The rank stars attach to epaulets using two long loops, each approximately 1 cm long, located at opposite ends of the star. A cotter pin is also included for securing them. This attachment method is consistent with how they were attached during WWII.
Are the rank stars sold individually or in sets?
The rank stars are sold individually, with the price listed per star. If you require multiple stars for a uniform, you will need to order the desired quantity. When ordering multiple stars, there is a possibility of receiving different styles that do not match.
What is the quality of these reproduction rank stars?
The reproduction rank stars are well made and are solid, durable items. They are not prone to bending or breaking if brushed against something. The gilt pips are excellent reproductions and are difficult to distinguish from original examples.
Do the rank stars always match when ordering multiple pieces?
When ordering multiple rank stars, there is a possibility that they may not all match in appearance. Some orders have included two different styles, possibly due to a mix of old and new stock. While the quality remains consistent, the appearance may vary between individual stars.
