Civil War Veteran Ladder Badge

Posted on October 13, 2020 by Chris
Pretty cool item that was up for auction some time ago on Ebay. The description at the time of auction, “This is a very nice named ladder badge for a soldier who served in B Company of the 11th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. The badge measures 1 1/2″ wide x 2 1/2″ tall overall, and reads ” E.S. Hunt – Co. B – 11th Wis. Vol. Inf. – 13 “. Most certainly, this is the man shown in the Civil War rosters as Edward S. Hunt, Company B., 11th Wisconsin Infantry Volunteers. A really scarce badge.” Hunt served from October 1864 to September 1865.
