Brass 6th corps badge has a darkened patina. In the center are remnants of the base material that would have been covered in fabric. Reverse features original attachment hook but pin is not present. This was for attaching badge to the soldier’s hat or left side of the uniform. This avoided confusion on the battlefield as a soldier could quickly be identified. Corps badges became a great source of regimental pride to the men who wore them. Recovered in the Richmond, VA area.

Excellent collectible.

Measures 1 ¾” across x 1 ¾” high. Badge is slightly warped.  [SM]
