US Army O7 1861 (United States) (Military Rank) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This decal features the insignia of a Brigadier General (BG) in the Union Army during the American Civil War, specifically reflecting the rank's establishment in 1861. The design captures the visual language of military authority of that era.

Shoulder Strap Representation

The central element of the design emulates a period shoulder strap or epaulette. At its heart lies a prominent silver star, the primary symbol of a Brigadier General's rank. This star is set against a background color, potentially gold or dark blue, representing the officer's position and potentially indicating the uniform type.

The decal may incorporate gold fringe around the edges of the simulated shoulder strap, as was commonly found on general officer epaulettes of the time. This adds a visual flourish and further emphasizes the rank's importance.

Collar Insignia Details

Another crucial element of the design is the inclusion of a single silver star placed on the collar of a frock coat or equivalent uniform piece. This replicates how the rank was often displayed on uniforms, even if the placement varied slightly compared to modern standards.

Branch Affiliation

The design, through its use of trim colors, subtly conveys the branch of service the officer belonged to. If present, blue trim would signal Infantry, yellow indicates Cavalry, and red would depict Artillery. The choice of trim is an intentional nod to the practical aspects of Civil War military communication, even if the user would have to know this to be able to "read" the design's full visual meaning.

The overall composition seeks to accurately and respectfully represent the distinctive visual elements of a Brigadier General's rank during a pivotal moment in American military history.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
