Description
Historic Identification Badge Crafted by a Soldier of the Pennsylvania Reserves. This wonderful identification disk was fashioned from an 1854 quarter, with one side polished smooth and inscribed with a decorative border in the center of which is nicely hand etched "G.W.M/ K 10th/ P.R.C." The reverse of the coin with its date and seated Liberty design is intact. A small hole has been drilled in the top for suspension from a string or patriotic pin. It belonged to Private George W. Morris, Co. K, 39th Pa. Vol. Inf. (10th Reserves) who served in the unit from June 1861 to June 1864 and was wounded at the Battle of New Market. An excellent example of the fabled soldier-made ID badge, complete with service and pension records.Auction Info
