PATRIOTIC PIN – FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR
SKU: 01-460$175.00
Veteran pieces from the 1870/1871 Franco-Prussian War are much more difficult-to-find than those from WW I. The number of men who served during the earlier conflict was much smaller. To add to the exclusivity, this is a veteran’s badge for a man who had served in 1870/71, and then moved to the USA! The badge has a bar at the top that says “Souvenir.” Below that is a tricolored ribbon in Germany’s national colors (black, white, and red). The ribbon reads, “15. Sundes Kriegerfest Akron, O. August 18-23 1900.” That tells us the badge celebrates the 15th annual Akron, Ohio meeting of veterans, who began meeting in 1885. Below that, attached to the ribbon, is a circular device containing an 1870 Iron Cross. Inside the button we see the badge was manufactured by a firm in Newark, NJ. During the time period, similar badges were very popular with USA Civil War veterans. Many groups from the North and South were still having reunions. The Franco-Prussian War happened only five years after our Civil War (indeed, the Prussians had observers here during the war)! I was delighted to locate this item.
