Antique 1886 Grand Army Of Republic Civil War Medal Serial # B55654 Burdett

Description: Antique 1886 Burnett series Grand Army Of Republic Civil War Medal serial number B55654! These medals were made of the bronze from Confederate Army cannons captured by the Union Army during the Civil War. This one in particular was made from a batch of 6-pounder cannons purchased by the GAR from the NY Arsenal on Governors Island in 1884. “The design of this badge, in use since 1869, is one that commemorates the great struggle in many ways. The pendant of the badge is a fine pointed star, like the Medal of Honor granted by Congress, and is made of cannon bronze. The face of the medal has the Goddess of Liberty in the center, representing loyalty, and on either side stands a soldier and a sailor clasping hands in front of the Goddess to represent fraternity. &Two children are kneeling in the foreground to receive a benediction and the assurance of protection from comrades. This is the symbol of charity. On each side of this center group are the flag and eagle representing freedom and an ax and a bundle of rods for union. In the star points are the emblems of different arms of service, bugle for infantry, cannon for artillery, muskets for marines, swords for cavalry, and an anchor for sailors. Surrounding the center is the legend, Grand Army of the Republic, 1861 Veterans -1866, the later date commemorating the close of the war and the founding of the order.” It has some slight tearing on the ribbon connecting to the star. Otherwise it is in good condition. Message me with any questions
