About this service

Admirals' shoulder boards are covered in gold lace or wire and carry silver stars and often an anchor, with the number of stars indicating rank. Our pattern lays out the board's gold-covered surface, the positions of the stars and anchor, and the wire used for each, so boards can be produced in the correct arrangement for each flag rank.

How we build it

  • Gold-covered board surface with wire direction marked
  • Star positions for each flag rank
  • Anchor or service emblem laid out
  • Matched pairs for each rank level
