This is a rare and compelling piece of Americana: an original Union Army Corps Badge from the American Civil War (1861–1865). The badge is shaped as a Maltese Cross (or cross pattée), which was the designated identifying symbol for the Fifth Army Corps (V Corps). Corps badges were unofficially worn by soldiers to quickly identify their military affiliation on the battlefield. The patch is constructed from felt or flannel, and its wear is consistent with genuine historical use and age. A foundational piece for any serious collection of Civil War field memorabilia.

  • Era: American Civil War (1861–1865)

  • Affiliation: Union Army, V Corps (Fifth Army Corps)

  • Design: Red Maltese Cross (as shown in image)

The craftsmanship on this piece is extraordinary. The effigy carving and brass tacks tell a story you can feel in your hands. A centerpiece of my Great Lakes collection.

Authentic history preserved perfectly. The condition exceeded expectations, and the provenance documentation gave me complete confidence. Worth every penny.

WWII History Enthusiast

Owning a piece of ordnance history like this is surreal. The casting detail is remarkable, and it's become the conversation starter in my Civil War display.

Civil War Collector

Finding an excavated Revolutionary War relic this intact is nearly impossible. The script is crisp, and knowing it was worn by a Continental soldier gives me chills.

Revolutionary War Historian

The Sheffield maker's mark and beaver tail handle make this an museum-quality piece. Exactly the kind of authentic trade-era artifact I've been searching for.
