4STARCHRIS Posted February 24, 2017 Share #27 Posted February 24, 2017 Kevin thank you for looking and your comments. It look all original from the ribbon to the medals. This is the only one I have seen and I had to have it. Did they ever make newer/recent copies? 4starchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4STARCHRIS Posted February 24, 2017 Share #28 Posted February 24, 2017 Kevin. I went on blind faith description from the website having never seen one. Do you have one in your collection you can post. I saw one this thread an all Gold one in an earlier post. Do you know what the RA&NUUS stand for? I would assume the A-is Army. N is Navy and M is Marine in the center medallion? Any more information would be helpful. 4starchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBeyer Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share #29 Posted February 25, 2017 4starchris, RA&NUUS stands for the Regular Army & Navy Union of the United States. This organization was named that on November 11, 1891 and then again changed to the Army and Navy Union of the United States on May 11, 1894. Presuming the badge is original (and there doesn't appear to be any reason why it shouldn't be) then this badge was only used for less than a four year period in the early 1890's. The medal posted previously by Adam R showed a presentation medal for this organization similarly named to your badge and was inscribed with a date of 1892. So, both badges are on the order of 125 years old. Both are extremely nice. Unfortunately for me, I do not have any of these earliest of versions of the Army & Navy Union badges.

KevinBeyer Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share #30 Posted August 14, 2020 Came across this little gem the other day. It is an Army & Navy Union Auxiliary Past President presentation pin for 1967-1969. It is just short of 2" from top to bottom. There is no maker's mark, nor is there a stamp for gold content. There is machine engraving on the reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menelder1941 Posted March 13, 2021 Share #31 Posted March 13, 2021 There are at least 3 ribbons used for this Medal, 1 with the green stripe is the KS. N.G. Service Medal-Sty.B-20 Year, the other 2 are Wolf-Brown #'s 4014 and 5500, see charts at-http://www.frontiernet.net/~ericbush/US/Wbchart.htm. The difference with the WB ones are different shade of Orange and the center white stripes are different widths. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Linz Posted August 22, 2021 Share #33 Posted August 22, 2021 Hello, Here is what I think is a Rank Strap for an Army and Navy Union of the United States of America Membership Medal or Badge. This was the suspension bar for the medal. The white background enamel indicates a current serving officer. The silver eagle indicates the office of Department Commander or Senior Vice Department Commander. It measures about 1/2 inch high by 1 9/16 inches wide.
