American Civil War Authentic 1861-1865 Union Uniform Button // Museum Display

This jaw-dropping collection from RARE-T features a staggering array of authentic artifacts, antiques, meteorites, oddities, skulls, and cruelty-free taxidermy from various eras in history. Each one was acquired in accordance to the import restrictions on archaeological material, which are intended to reduce the incentive for pillage and trafficking of illegal antiquities.

This custom museum display showcases an Authentic Civil War Union Uniform Brass Button dating from 1861 to 1865, featuring the iconic American Eagle and Shield known as the Great Seal (First used publicly in 1782, and has remained the official national coat of arms of the United States ever since.)

The eagle has its head turned towards the olive branch, on its right side, said to symbolize a preference for peace - But the bundle of arrows in its left talon symbolizes a readiness for war.

The American Civil War is the most studied and written about episode in U.S. history.

The Union and Confederacy fought over the course of four years. Intense combat left more fallen soldiers than the total number of U.S. military deaths in all other wars combined.

The Union army prevailed - The Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, 4 million African American slaves were freed - And United States President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated.

It's protected under plexiglass in a custom museum display to keep it looking pristine, ensuring protection of your investment while allowing you to fully appreciate this piece of collectible history. The customized descriptive metallic plaque, in addition to the detailed finishing, add to the elegant, gallery quality look. Complete with a certificate of authenticity, this piece is an exciting investment that will only get better with age.
