This is a fine piece of history from a Civil War veteran. It is an original reunion badge that was worn by 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 badge that the veteran would have worn for regular evens and then could be turned over for funerals of the members. The top bar has the shaking hands with the "MEMBER" suspension bar and the G.A.R. image celluloid below that bar. It has the black ribbon and in the white ribbon. At the bottom it has the Des Moines, Iowa location as well. The ribbon displays well as you can see. Item #: B3669 Shipping Weight:
