Titles: 1st Minnesota corps insignia (Supplied title)
Description: Second Corps of the Army of the Potomac shamrock or trefoil-shaped corps badge made of stamped brass. The badge was worn during the Civil War by Captain Mahlon Black of the 2nd Company of Minnesota Sharpshooters. Raised panels on the leaves of the clover are marked "FIRST / MINN / VOLS". Black's unit, after serving in the Army of the Potomac, was assigned to duty with the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment on the first day of the battle of Fair Oaks. In 1865, after being formally mustered out, Black re-enlisted and was transferred to the 1st Minnesota Battalion.
