Rare and beautiful, ca1880\'s classic Bronze Civil War GAR / Grand Army of the Republic Membership / Corps Badge - with a barpin strap of a US Army Colonel designating this badge as having belonged to a Post Commander orStaff member of a Divisional Commander. This Beautiful Ribbon Badge / Medal is of the classic 2 piece, flag ribbon form and measures approx. 3\" long overall and 1 1/2\" across at the bar pin.
The badge consists of a, oblong bronze bar pin with a black field and the spread wing eagle insignia of a Colonel. Attached to the upper bar pin via an American Flag form silk ribbon is the 5 pointed star \"Medal\" of the GAR.
This very attractive GAR Badge is in very good to excellent condition. The bar pin is in excellent condition with little to no significant wear. The flag form ribbon is intact and well preserved but with a few short tears and some very light soiling. The Star shaped medal has only light wear to the very highest points of the casting. All of the bronze elements retain a significant amount of their original gilt surface patina (see the scans below).
A rare and very attractive, Cast Bronze GAR Membership Badge and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!

Important Notes about Shipping Charges:
The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 \"packing fee\" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
