Description
Historic Patriotic ID Disc Worn by a Vermont Veteran of Gettysburg. Non-dug example of a brass 1" identification disc with pleasing patina clearly stamped 'S.M. SMITH/ Co. F/ 3rd/ REG/ VT. VOL./ HARTLAND." On the reverse is a raised spread-winged eagle surrounded by "War of 1861" and "United States" in raised letters. Stillman M. Smith joined the Third Vermont Vol. Inf. in May 1861 and fought through the Seven Days Campaign and Antietam before deserting in October 1862. He returned to the regiment in April 1863 and fought at Gettysburg, then reenlisted and was engaged in all the battles of the Petersburg Campaign including Lee's surrender at Appomattox. He was honorably discharged in July 1865. A fine example of a popular device, complete with thumbnail history of Stillman's service.Auction Info
