Scarce ca 1900s Sons Of Veterans Reserve SVR Civil War Organization Badge

This is a scarce badge for the Sons of Veterans Reserve (SVR), a Grand Army of the Republic auxiliary organization. At first a training organization, the SVR was formed in 1903 and is now a ceremonial part of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. The badge shows an eagle bearing and enameled SRV crest with the words FILO VETERANORUM (son of a veteran) on a banner overhead.

Circa 1900's - 1910's.

Approximately 1-1/8" in height x 1-1/8" in width.

Plated brass with enamel.

Horizontal pin with C catch.

This is from a Veterans' Organization collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEX99 LAAEX1/11 SAAEX12/20/23

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The badge shows light tarnishing concentrated in mostly one area with a few very small spots of oxidation and all enamel is intact.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
