Description
Attractive pair of stamped brass Fifth Corps badges, originally made plain but with the centers painted to represent the 1st Division (red) and 3rd Division (blue). The backs of each badge appear to have had four small brass loops soldered in place to allow them to be pinned to a cap or garment, however all but one are missing from each badge. While not the “jeweler grade” type of corps badge popular with enlisted men and officers, these are arguably much rarer due to the simple, mass-produced quality. Badges such as these were likely purchased from vendors advertising in northern newspapers and journals.
