SOLD!!!

A neat and hard to find 1938 Gettysburg pinback with a sword attached.  The pinback can be found fairly easily but one with the sword attached is very hard to find.  The main reason is the weight of the sword normally tears the ribbon attaching it to the badge.  The pinback has a Confederate and Union soldier shaking hands with the U.S. and Confederate flags over them.  Written on the pinback is "75th Anniversary Battle of Gettysburg - 1863 - 1918".  Two gray ribbons are attached to the pinback.  A red, white, and blue ribbon is also attached to the pinback and a large sword is attached to that ribbon.  The sword has four rinestones in the handle and has it's own pin on the back for support. 

SOLD!!!
