A great badge worn by Michael Odenot of the 107th Pennsylvania Infantry.  The badge is very interesting because instead of putting his unit on it, he put "1st Corp, 2nd Div., 1st Brig. - Army Potomac".  On top of that his name was spelled wrong on the badge or in the official records (M. Oudinot).  My guess is the recruiting officer spelled it wrong on the official records.  Oudinot would have been standing in front of the badge maker as he made the badge and spelled his name.  In order to identify him I had to review the personel in the 13 regiments that had at one time been in the 2nd Division, 1st Brigade of the 1st Corp.  Fortunately for me there was only one possibility in all those thousands of names!!! 

 

The 107 Pennsylvania Infantry was a hard fighting unit in the Army of the Potomac.  Oudinot (Odenot)  mustered into Co. E, 107th Pennsylvania Infantry on February 28, 1862.  He was mustered out February 7, 1865.  He was wounded at Fredericksburg.  A unique badge with a great history!

SOLD!!!

A wonderful identified ladder badge worn by a veteran of the 16th Maine Infantry.  The hanger has "Co. H" on it.  The drop in the shape of the 5th Corp badge has "16 ME. VOL.INF. - Danford Lovely - War 1861 - 5" written on it.  The 16th Maine Infantry fought with the 5th Corp, Army of the Potomac.  The first battle was Fredericksburg.  The 16th Maine entered the battle with approximately 450 men and 226 were killed, wounded, or missing.  At Gettysburg the unit had 248 officers and men.  At the end of the three day battle only 2 officers and 15 men were still eligble for duty.  The 16th Maine fought with the 5th Corp all the way to Appomattox.  A hard fighting unit.

 

Danford Lovely enlisted on August 14, 1862 as a Private.  He was shown missing on July 1, 1863 as many of his regiment were.  At sometime he reappeared with his regiment and was captured on August 19, 1864 at Weldon Railroad, Virginia.  On June 5, 1865 he was shown Absent, prisoner.  A great badge with a wonderful history!

A very unique shield/ladder badge worn by G.R. Watson of the 25th Wisconsin Infantry.  This wonderful badge has a drum on the drop!  Also "D.M." is on the head of the drum.  I am guessing this stands for Drum Major.  George R. Watson joined Company D of the 25th Wisconsin Infantry on August 9, 1862.  At some point he also served in the Veterans Reserve Corp so he must of had a significant wound.  These identified shield badges with a drum on them do not come on the market very often!!!
