USA SALES ONLY. SORRY.This is an outstanding GAR badge of the SONS OF UNION VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR with the identifier "CAMP NO. 144" on its interim connector. According to my research, this is the Farragut Post 25 of the Dept of Nebraska Camp 144.As you can see, it needs cleaning in the top an bottom sections to remove brown spots, apparently from water intrusion. Also, I believe the ribbon is missing, because of the metal piece on the back top, in addition to the clasp.The top shows two shaking hands as are typical on many of these types of GAR badges. The bottom larger part displays both Naval and Army soldiers under which is the language " GRATIA DEL SERVITUS " which is the Motto of the SONS OF UNION VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR.Maker is Whitehead and Hoag of Newark New Jersey
