skypilot6670 Posted September 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2019 Recent addition to my Civil War Badge collection. It was not engraved so my guess is its new old stock. This is the only one Ive ever seen and I was very pleased to get it. Civil war Navy I.D. Badges and Disc are scarce , consequently they are usually priced beyond my means.

sundance Posted September 11, 2019 Share #8 Posted September 11, 2019 Very nice item. Aside from guns and swords you just don't find much from the Civil War era. At least I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypilot6670 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted September 11, 2019 Thanks Sundance , good Civil War items don’t turn up like they used to. The internet gets most of the good stuff posted there now. Gun shows,flea markets and yard sales will produce a good piece every now and again but nothing like 30 or years ago. Thanks for your comment. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
