They are embroidered with twists and gold sequins. The body is made of unembroidered gold trimmings, decorated with two silver stars. The fringes are in large matte twists. The outline is made up of three turns: a large one in matte satin and shiny yarn rolled alternately on a cotton core; an inner second in small twisted matte Milanese, mixed with another simple shiny one; a third, of the same work, is applied below the thick one, at the beginning of the fringe. 1830 uniform button (half-domed, gilded with burnished and matte, stamped in relief with a trophy formed of flags and a shield stamped with a rooster and surmounted by a helmet), fixed at the top of the body of epaulet; a strong brass clasp (this clasp fits into a small gusset sewn onto the uniform).
