Shoulder Scales
Noncommissioned Staff Shoulder Scale
A special shoulder scale was worn by noncommissioned officers of the regimental staff. This was distinct in that it had a pattern of rivets on the surface of the scale. The underside also had a bottom piece that the common privates scales lacked. The sergeants wearing this pattern included the Sergeant Major, Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant, and Regimental Commissary Sergeant.
