Antique Civil War Medal – New Jersey Veteran’s Jewelry, 1861-1865
This intriguing medal/jewelry piece was presented by the State of New Jersey to an unnamed veteran of the Union Forces during the Civil War (1861-1865). The bronze medal, measuring 32.5 mm x 2.85 mm, appears to have had a gold wash applied. The original hanger bar has been removed and replaced with a 12K G.F. bow pin, suggesting it was converted for wear as jewelry. The chain is original to the piece. The conversion was tastefully done and the medal remains in excellent condition. Please examine all photos carefully.
