This is a department level badge for a representative to the annual encampment of the G.A.R. Department of Pennsylvania held at Gettysburg in 1904. The bronze upper bar reads “Gettysburg” in a scroll at top, with the date JUNE 1904 on a bar below, flanking the G.A.R. emblem of soldier and sailor shaking hands before the figure of Columbia with grateful woman and child bordered by the words “Grand Army of the Republic Veteran 1861-1866.”

A red, department level, ribbon holds the suspension bar reading “representative,” from which hangs a planchet with a male portrait bust (probably Dept. Commander Edwin Walton) captioned 38^th ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT / DEPT. OF PA. G.A.R. on the obverse. The reverse reads “HIGH WATER MARK” at top and “PICKETT’S CHARGE” at bottom, with a central panel showing the clump of trees and high water mark memorial.

The condition is excellent.  [sr] [ph:L]
