These primarily took the form of diagonal lace bars above the cuffs (inverted chevrons above pointed cuffs) for corporals and NCOs:

Corporal two aurore (golden-yellow) bars edged red.

Sergeant one gold bar edged red; gold edging to epaulette strap, gold crescent, gold transverse strap edged red and, after 1806, a layer of gold fringe over the red fringe.

Fourrier corporals' rank bars plus a gold diagonal bar on the upper arm; sergeants' epaulettes.

Sergeant-Major two gold bars; gold-laced epaulettes and crescents; a layer of gold fringe (two layers after 1806).

Sergeants and above wore mixed red and gold cap cords, sword-knot, hat 'ties', gold cockade loop and gilt buttons.

Service stripes took the form of inverted lace chevrons on the upper left arm: one for 10 years' service, two for 15-20, and three for 20-25. They were aurore for privates and corporals, gold for others.

Officers had gold head-dress decoration, colonels and majors wore white plumes. Buttons and turnback badges were gold. Individual rank distinction was the gold lace epaulette:

Colonel both bullion (heavy) fringed.

Major as Colonel, with silver straps.

Chef de bataillon bullion fringe on left only.

Captain cord (fine) fringe on left only. Lieutenant - as captain, with silk line on the epaulette.

Sous-lieutenant as lieutenant, but two red lines on the strap.

Captain-Adjutant-Major cord fringe on right only.

In addition, gilt gorgets with silver eagles and wreaths upon them were worn. The waistbelt plate was rectangular and bore a grenade or eagle device. It could be gilt or silver or a combination of the two. Sword-knots were gold.
