I have two, they are different. One is connected to a red, white and blue ribbon with a wolverine at the top. The medal itself is round , about the size of a silver dollar with the words twenty third national encampmenton G.A.R. on it along with two men standing beside a large shield, adate of 1889, Milwaukee, Wisconsin , August 27-30.
