Adam R Posted January 1, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 1, 2017 How do you know that he's a vet? The badge might be for a fraternal organization. There were hundreds of civilian groups that used similar badges in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCF-Collector Posted January 3, 2017 Share #8 Posted January 3, 2017 I believe Dave is correct - Patriotic Order Sons of America http://posofa.org/ Here's an example similar ribbon for comparison. Doesn't mean he wasn't a Veteran - I've seen groupings with CW and POSA pieces. The POSA was established in 1847 - so it's totally logical that there would be CW Veterans that were members before or after the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
