    Description

    Condition as seen.   From a knowledgeable ebayer;
    " This 1881 Post officer badge was one of the last 1880-1881 Wagner-series made. An unusual characteristic of the Wagners is that the 8th & 20th Corps insignias on the star reverse are in switched positions. The star was die stamped from a batch of 2 bronze 12-pounder Confederate guns, purchased from the Fairmont Park Art Assoc., Philadelphia. They were unused monument donations from the U.S. government and appeared English-made. They were vent-spiked with rat-tail files and damaged indicating active service before capture by the Union army.
