SPANISH AMERICAN WAR, VETERANS BADGE, USWV, #A1215 and LAPEL BUTTON U.S.S. MAINE

Description: SPANISH AMERICAN WAR, VETERANS BADGE, USWV, #A1215 and LAPEL BUTTON HALLMARKED "U.S.S. MAINE" A bronze three piece Spanish American War Veterans badge with ribbon issued to members of the United Spanish War Veterans. At the top of the badge is bronze American eagle in mid-flight within a laurel wreath in front of a shield with vertical stripes and pointed stars. Attached to this piece is a ribbon in the shape of an American flag hanging vertically with thirteen stripes and thirteen stars. Attached to the bottom of the ribbon is a bronze piece consisting of a cavalry saber, an infantry rifle, and a naval anchor, all crossed. This is serial numbered "A1215" Attached to this piece is the final component of the medal which is a bronze Spanish American War cross, with the four arms (clockwise from right to left), reading: "PORTO RICO; CUBA; PHILIPPINE ISLANDS; and USA". This cross also contains the dates "1898-1902" with the words "SPANISH WAR VETERANS" surround a small circular military scene. On the reverse side of the cross the four arms read (clockwise from right to left): "NORTH/ SOUTH/ EAST/ WEST." At the center circle of the cross is a field of pointed stars and vertical stripes with the word "UNITED" atop the field of stars and stripes. Also included is a Spanish American War Veterans lapel button. The lapel button is a miniature version of the planchet on the full size cross. This lapel button was made from U.S.S. Maine salvage and is hallmarked as such. Early Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Civil War veteran lapel buttons were made from captured Confederate cannon. So, it is reasonable that a SAW veteran badge would be made from scrap of the U.S.S. Maine.
