In the Civil Warship Combat Club rules there was Rank. I used to be a Civil war reinactor. Uniforms can made from the Sulters that attend these events.The actual shoulder boards and sleeve stripes are sold. So that is what you give for rank. I also saw two medals that were sold in such a cataloge. One had Abe Lincoln on it. The other The Monitor/Virginia/Merrimack.To gain rank like other R/C clubs.I have a Union Petty Officer uniform.
I agree with you on that. The whites are very light material. The Blues are a heavy material. Those jackets are wool. Yea sink city with that on. Heck you could just encase the shoulder boards and sleeve stripes in a picture frame and hang them on a wall.
