This rare badge is linked to one of the most famous artillery units to fight at Gettysburg – Rickett’s Battery – known for bearing the brunt of the Confederate assault on East Cemetery Hill.  Batteries F and G resorted to hand-to-hand combat until US reinforcements secured the hilltop.

A complete, silver-plated pin brooch suspends a crimson silk ribbon, with embossed gold text and trefoil at center.  The gold accenting has mostly worn away, with a few letters still highlighted.  Everything remains perfectly legible.  The top of the ribbon shows wear from contact with the brooch but remains securely attached. A complete strand of wire braiding is still firmly attached at bottom. The reverse is blank, with a circular surface spot stain. Dimensions are 1.8” x 5”.

An uncommon reunion badge, attributed to a famous Gettysburg unit.  A must-have for the Gettysburg or Civil War Veterans collector.  [cm][ph:L]
