Description
Rare Early Post Civil War GAR Gavel
Grand Army of the Republic
One side is punch pressed G A R with a style of script that places it was probably made just after the Civil War ended. Circa 1866 ~ 1875
There is an additional "A" impressed at the top of the handle shaft. We are not sure what this indicates. Possibly there were more than one gavel and this was for the leader. Thus "B" would have been the second in command.
The patina is amazing. It is rare that a gavel such as this is found and offered for sale.
10" Length on entire Gavel ~ 3 3/4" Length of Gavel Head
Condition Wonderful patina. Some "punch marks" as expected on gavel ends. G A R impressed strongly.
