Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 8:12 pm I can make out 1883, in Latin A L S SV ? and USA on the reverse. Can you take to it with a loupe or a glass, and decipher the other writing ? Badges don't usually have features on both sides. A fob or medal would have a suspender somewhere, but I can't see one on this. Report this Post to the Staff
EdNargel New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 9:59 pm I was able to find some information on this medal. It is a Sons of Veterans of the Civil War Auxiliary medal. It evidently hung by a ribbon which is missing. None of the example that I found had the A,S,L,AV letters on them,not sure what those stand for. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
