Brass 14th Army Corps Badge meas. approx. 1.5" x .75". Known as the "acorn" badge, this particular badge consists of a two-pronged stem. Top portion is plain without the traditional criss-cross pattern with two vertical indentations across the mid-section and another at the tip. Reverse has remains of two brass prongs where badge would affix to kepi. Probably commercially manufactured, badge exhibits shiny, blackish surface with no dings, chips. Very slight area of discoloration on front barely noticeable. Badge was recovered at New River Gorge, West Virginia along with several other slightly different styles of the 14th Army Corps badge.

The 14th Army Corps Badge or Acorn was issued to the Department of the Cumberland to be worn by the officers and enlisted men of all regiments of the corps. Fastened to the top center of the cap or upon the left-side of the hat, badges could be made of cloth or metal. A neat relic for the collector of the "Acorn Corps."
