White paint on applique outlines red spears that radiate from the circle to each of the seven angles in the heptagon. Blue cotton five-point star on center hoist. White cotton hoist with no grommets. The inscription on the front of the hoist reads "1st Brg 1st Veteran Army Corps." The inscription on the reverse of the hoist reads "R.C. Toy 49.N.9th Phila."
