This is a fine piece of history from a Civil War veteran. It is an original reunion medal of a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. This was the veteran's organization of the Union veterans of the Civil War. In order to become a member of the organization you had to prove that you served honorably for the United States during the war. This is the medal that the veteran would have gotten for attending the 1937 reunion that was held at Madison, Wisconsin and is so marked on the back of the bottom medallion. It has a fine original golden ribbon intact on the back with the original attachment pin remaining. It has the beautiful spread wing eagle top bar with "GAR" and "REPRESENTATIVE" notation. This lets us know it was actually worn by a veteran not just a spectator. The next medallion shows the image of "OLD ABE" the mascot of the Wisconsin men. The lowest medallion has the image of the G.A.R. Commander in Chief C.H. Williams Ruhe in the center. It is in excellent displaying shape all the way around. This one is very nice and will enhance any collection. Item #: A8911 Shipping Weight:
