Item Details
Description
McClellan & Antietam soldier's pewter ID badge. Obverse features profile bust portrait of General George B. McClellan with the legend, "Antietam / Sept 17th 1862". Reverse is stamped: "Co. C. / 51. N.Y.V. / M. Duffy." with 8 stars. Suspension hole drilled at top.

Irish-born Duffy was 30 years old when he enlisted in the 51st New York Infantry. Famously, the regiment was one of two to assault the heights across Burnside’s Bridge at Antietam and hold it against all odds. Duffy re-enlisted in December 1863 ,and was promoted to corporal the following September. He was mustered out with his company at Alexandria, Virginia on 25 July 1865, having survived many engagements of the widely-travelled and hard fought IX (9th) Corps.

A scarce and desirable ID disc design.
