Wow.  That is an amazing pair of badges!  I've spent decades trying to find a regular Army of the Tennessee badge without luck.  This would be the pinnacle for this type of badge.

Thanks for sharing these images.

Terrific badges, and I remember seeing a small fraction of your collection on FB. Outstanding collection really.

 

I'd like to know more about the 19th IL badge, and if you thought it was wartime or post-War?

I am not 100% sure if its wartime or post-war, Once I figure it out I will let you know.
