Authentic Civil War Union New York "Excelsior" Gold Bullion Cloth Badge Insignia in lovely near mint quality. It has some light tone to some highpoints of the bright golden bullion.

The famous Excelsior Brigade was raised by Union General Daniel Sickles, who was its first commander. The First Excelsior Brigade was comprised of the 70th, 72nd, 73rd and 74th NY Infantry Regiments, and well known for their outstanding creative uniforms.

In October, 1861, the 71st NY along with the 70th through the 74th NY Infantry and 10 Companies of the 3rd Indiana Cavalry formed the Second Excelsior Brigade, under Gen. Sickles command.
