A great badge worn by the press at the 1913 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.  These badges were given to members of the press who covered the reunion by the Pennsylvania Commision.  The hanger has the Pennsylvania keystone with  "PRESS - Pennsylvania Commision" surrounded by blue enamel.  A blue and gray ribbon is attached to the hanger and the drop.  The drop has two veterans on their knees, shaking hands.  Behind them is a winged angel holding palm fronds.  Written on the front of the drop is "Fiftieth Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg - 1863 - 1913 - Reunion".  On the back of the drop is two shaking hands in front of the Pennsylvania keystone.  Written on the back of the drop is "Reunion Civil War Veterans 1913".  The ribbon is all there but weak and is not completely sewn on the back. This is the original ribbon not a replacement.
