early issue – Civil War Union Veterans Union Medal group

Description

Best described here by our illustrations as to condition and eye appeal, this scarce early issue Union Veterans Union membership medal sports the UVU regulation crossed swords suspension bar with a variant US flag ribbon from which is suspended the bronze medal with a naval anchor, the cannon of the artillery, and crossed rifles of infantry. The Union Veterans Union was formed in 1886 by Civil War veterans who believed in service improvements were needed over the much larger G.A.R. Forming a number of chapters the UVU fostered the Sons of Union Veterans as an auxiliary. Included with this Union Veterans Union medal is a period membership medal of that group.
