Description
Choice Civil War Soldier's Badge
Civil War Identification Tag. Abraham Lincoln. Maier-Stahl 6A, Cunningham 6-090B, King-182. Brass. Corporal Andrew J. Slayton, Company H, 13th Regiment, Vermont Volunteers. Extremely Fine.
29.7 mm. Pierced for suspension, as issued. Abraham Lincoln, War of 1861 obverse, paired with the stock blank reverse hand-stamped around and at the center, CORPL. ANDREW J. SLAYTON / ELMORE, VT. / CO. H. / 13TH REGT. / VT. VOLS. / BORN 1844. A very choice example of this rare type with lovely light golden brass color and traces of the original gilt surface lingering around the legends and central motif of the obverse. Some small spots of darker patina dot the rims. Corporal Andrew J. Slayton was Canadian-born, in 1844, and enlisted for Union military service three times during the course of the American Civil War. His first enlistment was October 1, 1861, in Vermont, ending in a disability discharge in Washington, D.C., eight months later. His second enlistment was as Corporal in Company H of the 13th Vermont, specific to this badge, on August 17, 1862. He served out this enlistment and re-enlisted a third time in early 1865. He survived the war, was discharged in June 1865, and died in Phoebus, Virginia, in 1938.
