<p>[QUOTE=&quot;morgen94, post: 18291, member: 217&quot;]The little bits of flotsam and jetsam that I bring home after browsing the one or two estate sales I go to in a year are laughably modest compared to the awe-inspiring things I see posted here regularly, but I have a question about this item.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this because it appeared to be old, but I had no idea what the Immortal 600 was/is (I do now). What confused me is the newer look of the pin on the back and the haphazard way the ribbon is skewered on it. The back is engraved: &quot;Capt. T.H. Bord; 58th V Regt&quot; (that is apparently Thomas H. Board of Bedford VA). The medal maker, Schwaab something of Milwaukee is above the engraving.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of that appears to be authentic, and I read that these were issued to the survivors around 1900, so is the pin original? Is it likely the ribbon was originally skewered like that?</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I am not sure what I am going to do with this, but I am considering donating it to a suitable institution, but where? Thank you.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]4514[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]4515[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]4516[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
