Description
Fine Silver Identification Shield Inscribed to Massachusetts Soldier. Samuel F. Pearson was a 21-year-old butcher from Springfield, Mass. when he enlisted as a private in the 40th Mass. Vol. Inf. in September 1862. His classic, stamped silver identification badge features a raised spread-winged eagle and crossed flags at the top under which is skillfully etched in elaborate lettering "S. F. PEARSON/ Co. G/ 40th Reg't/ Mass. Vol." The reverse is missing its t-bar pin fastener, but otherwise the piece is in excellent condition. Pearson saw action during the Peninsular Campaign before his unit was transferred to South Carolina. He was discharged for disability in January 1864.Auction Info
