Talk:Confederate Insignia of the Civil War

From CivilWarWiki

We do have access to Rod Plossls Insignia for the CSA as well at: http://civilwartalk.com/Resource_Center/CS/Confederate_Insignia We just need to transfer the images over and setup the page... Civilwartalk

Maybe we will need to adjust and or replace or redo Rod's Images on the Union Page, this page is starting to look very good. Civilwartalk 09:05, 6 May 2010 (EDT)

What I'm thinking is that the tables on this page will eventually go into an article on the Confederate Army, or something about enlisted soldiers or uniforms, so it makes sense to have it appear tidy, organized, and labeled. Bmac48 11:19, 6 May 2010 (EDT)

Design

What I'm thinking now is to have this display reflect the original design that was published in the Official Military Atlas of the War of the Rebellion [1], which is all sleeves. Any thoughts? Bmac48 22:38, 6 May 2010 (EDT)

The "rank only" images may have been removed from this page, but they don't need to be removed from the site. We'll have articles on, say "Quartermaster" or "Sergeant-Major", and include the images necessary to help explain the articles. Bmac48 16:39, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

I like and prefer the sleeve images, they look great. Will you be able to do the Confederate Commissioned Officers Sleeves too? Civilwartalk 16:48, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

I have one done, and it's just going to be all gray for the moment. I'm taking apart the Marine Corps sleeves and doing the converting from there. Bmac48 00:29, 8 May 2010 (EDT)

Fuzzy sleeves

There are four enlisted sleeve images which appear to be fuzzy, while the rest are crisp; the four were accidentally saved and uploaded as .jpg images instead of .png. I'll correct that later on tonight. Bmac48 16:43, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

Company QM Sergeant

We need to figure out where to add these ranks into the scheme for Cavalry and Artillery: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_Quartermaster_Sergeant#United_States Civilwartalk 19:29, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

Perhaps these are only for Union Volunteer units Civilwartalk 20:46, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

We have the basic ones here, and it will be similar for the Union insignia; anything extra, such as the Wikipedia reference, will have to be bounced off against either official records or photos. Bmac48 00:31, 8 May 2010 (EDT)
