Civil War Artillery Captain Shoulder Badge – A Badge of Duty and Honour

During the time of the American Civil War, soldiers wore many kinds of badges and symbols on their uniforms. These small items showed their rank, unit, and role. One of the most respected badges from that time was the Civil War Artillery Captain Shoulder Badge.

At Hand Embroidered UK, we proudly make high-quality, hand-stitched badges that honour military history. The Artillery Captain badge is one of our popular items for collectors, reenactors, and military fans.

What Does This Badge Mean?

This badge was worn by Artillery Captains in the Civil War. These officers were in charge of big guns, like cannons, used during battles. Their job was very important. They had to lead their team, plan where to place the cannons, and make quick decisions during battle.

The shoulder badge showed that the wearer was a Captain in the Artillery branch. Other soldiers would know right away that this person was a leader. This helped with communication and respect on the battlefield.

Simple Design, Big Meaning

The Civil War Artillery Captain badge was usually made with two bars or crossed cannons stitched into the design. The badge was worn on the shoulders of the uniform. It was made using good-quality thread, often in gold or silver colour.

Even though it looks simple, it carries great meaning. It stood for leadership, bravery, and experience. Every stitch had a purpose.

At Hand Embroidered UK, we create these badges using the same care and detail that would have been used back then. We do not use machines. Each badge is hand-stitched by skilled hands.

Why Do People Still Want These Badges?

Many people today collect Civil War items. Some wear them during historical events, some keep them in display cases, and others use them in museums or teaching displays.

Here’s why the Artillery Captain Shoulder Badge is special:

It’s a sign of military leadership

It tells a story of the past

It’s a piece of handcrafted history

It looks beautiful and classic on uniforms or in collections

Our clients include history lovers, reenactment groups, veterans, and even costume designers for theatre and film.

What We Offer at Hand Embroidered UK

We believe in making products that last and hold meaning. Our team carefully hand-stitches each badge with the best materials. We make sure the design matches the original style used during the Civil War.

We can also make custom versions if you need a certain size, colour, or detail. Whether you want one badge or many, we’re here to help.

Who Can Use This Badge?

Each badge is made with care, and we pack and ship with attention to detail, too.

If yesterday’s Buff Sussex isn’t quite what you’re looking for in a chicken, how about Anona’s Lavender Pekin with her beautifully soft grey/purple feathers? 🐓 . Anona is a friend of mine and it was her rescue chickens’ antics that helped inspire the story of the Kitchen Garden Sampler. The Lavender Pekin is Anona’s favourite breed so it seemed only right to dedicate this Miniature Motif to Anona and her mischievous chickens!🐓🐓🐓 . To order, click on the image or visit bluecoppice.com - or message me for details 🐓🌱🐝 . . #bluecoppice #miniaturemotifs #countedthreadembroidery #chickens #lavenderpekin #embroideryart #embroiderydesign #countedthreadwork #needlework #crossstitchers #crossstitchersofinstagram #xstitching #embroideredart #stitchingsmalls #bewellandstitch #stayhomeandstitch #dmcthreads #zweigartlinen #ornaments #embroideredbadges #pinbadges #embroideredbrooch #handembroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/CEUwuz3HvyJ/?igshid=1oqvp519oq93f

A Symbol of Community and Pride: The Gorgie Mills Bowling Club Badge

Local clubs create an amazing sense of community. Be it sports clubs, hobby groups or social clubs - people come together and build memories through participation in these organizations. One such club with an esteemed history is Gorgie Mills Bowling Club which boasts its very own Badge as the centrepiece of its identity.

Though club badges may seem like just pieces of fabric or metal to some people, they represent so much more: tradition, loyalty, and a shared sense of belonging among its members. Wearing their badge is seen by many members as an honor that serves to remind them of all of the friendships and memories made along the way.

What Makes the Gorgie Mills Bowling Club Badge So Unique?

Gorgie Mills Bowling Club Badges have an important place in history and represent not just decorative objects; rather they serve as tangible reminders that link you with something greater than yourself. Wearing your Gorgie Mills Bowling Club badge connects you with something larger than yourself!

These badges can be seen adorning jackets, hats and uniforms of members to foster an overall feeling of unity within a club and its membership. Many keep these keepsakes for many years as a token of their membership - some even passing it along as part of keeping its legacy alive!

Hand Embroidered with Care

At Hand Embroidered UK, we understand how important club badges are. That’s why we put great care into creating each one.At Badges of Excellence, we pride ourselves on using high-grade threads, strong backing materials and traditional hand embroidery techniques for each badge to achieve both its classic appearance and long-term quality. This gives each piece of embroidery its signature charm while guaranteeing lasting performance and strength.

Our skilled team pays careful consideration to every element of your badge design: from its colors, text and stitching patterns, right through to how comfortable it feels when worn. We want your badge to look its best both visually and tactilely!

As we designed and created the Gorgie Mills Bowling Club Badge, our focus was to maintain its original design while giving it a clean and polished look that represented their values of friendship, tradition and pride.

More Than Just a Badge

For many members, the badge becomes part of their identity. It’s not just something you wear during matches or social events. It’s something that holds emotional value. It might remind someone of the first time they joined the club, a big tournament win, or even the friendships formed over a game of bowls on a sunny afternoon.

That’s why we take our work seriously. We don’t see these badges as just products — we see them as meaningful keepsakes that carry the heart of a community.

WIP for my Boy. He's been asking for his own Hufflepuff badge for some time. Finally getting around to it. Also gives me a chance to try out the print and stick fabric solvy. So far so nice. Bringing in way more detail than my usual pen method. Looking forward to seeing how well it washes off. And of course it almost killed my printer....🤷‍♀️ what do you use to transfer your patterns? . . . #hufflepuff #harrypotter #wip #momslife #makersgonnamake #stitchedlove #handmade #embroideredbadge #witcheswhimsy https://www.instagram.com/p/B7703fNoZx2/?igshid=ldtlnqo8h1g1
