Civil War 7th Army Corps Badge


Recommended Posts

This recently came out of a local estate. I think it's wartime rather than a later reunion piece. Beautifully jeweler-crafted. Somewhere along the line, the pin was broken off.

It does look to be wartime, very interesting with the floral engraving.

I agree, it looks wartime. It almost looks like it was made from a coin, which was common.

Certainly possible, but there's no evidence of that - no reeding on the edge or evidence of smoothed-out coin design (even on the back). Looking at it closely, I really think it was made from scratch by a jeweler.

I appreciate everyone's comments!
