Lapel pin that measures 3/4 inches in diameter. The face of the pin has a large star design adorned with oak leaves around the outer edges. At the bottom of the star there is a riband with the slogan, "Star Of Light" within it. The words "Star Of Light" are all very clear and easily read on the original pin. My scan does not do the banner justice. The reverse of the pin has two studs but the fastening clasp is missing. Old white paint with a black "G" written within it by the relic hunter on the reverse to indicate that this relic was recovered at Gettysburg. This was typical of what relic hunters did to mark their artifacts in the 1950's era. I purchased this fine Gettysburg relic many years ago from an old time local Gettysburg collection when I was a proud resident of the historic town of Gettysburg. It has probably been in my personal collection for over 30 years and has never been offered for sale by me before. Light brown patina. This pin was worn as a religious symbol on the lapels of men's jackets or woman's dresses in the Civil War era, and the mid 1800's. The exact location of the recovery of this artifact is unknown, but based on other artifacts that came with this pin it might have been recovered somewhere on the 1st day's battlefield near the Chambersburg Pike. Very fine and interesting Gettysburg excavated relic.
