Description: Type IV GAR Grand Army Of the Republic Membership Badge. Numbered B27005. The letter prefix is the initial of the commander during the year it was issued; the number represents the membership number. The type IV badge was produced from 1875-1882. The letter "B" is sometimes found stamped on a Type IV star. This may be due to a supply of old stock pendants that were discovered. "B" would have been Robert Beath who was GAR Commander from 1883-1884. This means this badge was issued during 1883-1884. The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army (United States Army), Union Navy (U.S. Navy), and the Marines who served in the American Civil War. It was founded in 1866 in Decatur, Illinois, and grew to include hundreds of "posts" (local community units) across the North and West. It was dissolved in 1956 at the death of its last member, Albert Woolson.
