5th US Colored Troops Dog Tag
5th US Colored Troops Civil War Soldiers ID Dog Tag. James Joel Co. H. 5th U.S. Colored Vol's. Union Co. O. Maj. Gen. G.B. McClellan Peninsular Campaign.
We are pleased to offer the third and final group of Civil War ID tags and Corps badges from the Rich Burnham collection. This last group were his absolute favorites and will be sold over the next few months on eBay. Many different types are presented including rare, unusual and historically significant items. Rich was an avid collector and researcher of these fascinating items for over 35 years. He found his first disc while metal detecting at a 2nd Corps camp in Rockville, Maryland. His first actual purchase (first of many) was from the late dealer Steve Tanenbaum. He really enjoyed doing the research on the soldiers and units, and each item purchased will come with his research file folder.
Another great item from Steve Hayden's eBay listings.
