Grand Army of the Republic Post Badge on Veteran’s Cap Device 

Description

Grand Army of the Republic Post Badge on Veteran’s Cap Device 

A well-preserved Grand Army of the Republic veteran’s insignia mounted on its original coarse wool backing, representing a specific GAR post. The badge features the classic bronze membership star suspended from a spread-wing eagle above a small enameled American flag shield, all retaining a pleasing, untouched patina. Above, a gilt wreath frames applied post numerals, indicating the local GAR chapter affiliation. The dark, roughly cut textile mount is typical of veteran-era construction, likely removed from or intended for wear on a GAR cap or uniform. 

An honest and complete example of post-war Union veteran identification, combining both post designation and standard membership badge in a single displayable form.
