Click on an image to enlarge

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 1917 reunion that was held at Boston, Massachusetts and is so marked on the middle medallion. It has a fine original golden ribbon intact on the back(It has a tape repair) with the original attachment pin remaining. Hanging from the beautiful spread wing eagle top bar it has the American flags and "REPRESENTATIVE". This lets us know it was actually worn by a veteran not just a spectator. The next medallion shows the enameled "GAR" letters in the middle below the flag. The lowest medallion has the image of the G.A.R. Commander in Chief who was a soldier in the center with "51st NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT AUG. 1917 Boston, Mass." around the edge. It is in excellent displaying shape all the way around. This one is very nice and will enhance any collection.
