Description
Rare Silver Identification Badge Worn by a Member of the Invalid Corps. This attractive ID shield measures 1.25" x 1.25" and is carefully etched with a simple border on its face along with "Corp'l/ C. P. Jordan/ Co. E. 21st Reg't/ I'v'd Corps." The owner was Corporal Charles P. Jordan who enlisted in July, 1862 into Co. F, 33rd Mass. Vol. Inf. After the regiment's fight at Chancellorsville, Jordan suffered sunstroke and was transferred into the 21st Veteran Reserve Corps (originally known as the Invalid Corps) in December 1863 where he was promoted Corporal and remained until mustered out in June 1865. The piece is sound and only missing the t-bar pin on the reverse. Copies of Jordan's military and pension records accompany the badge.Auction Info
