Can Potomac & Mollus medals be traced?

So far as I know, Army of the Potomac society medals are untraceable.


But MOLLUSes belonging to original companions (I.e the veterans themselves rather than their descendants). Are usually traceable with a bit of effort.

 

the book Union Blue has an alphabetical list of original companions. But they’re listed alphabetically rather than numerically so it takes a while. 
 

I’ve had decent luck googling the phrase “Insignia no.[your MOLLUS here]”. Sometimes it’ll return an ebook with the numbers listed.

Thank you for that information.

 

I will act on it and see if I can’t scare up that ebook.

I typed in  ‘’Insignia No. 3689’’ several times but only found the book for sale.

 

Did I do that right?

 

Thanks
