Gold Civil War Pin?

[Gofish73]

I found this pin last Sunday & tried to post it that night but I had issues with this app. Hopefully I can reply & send pics now!. I believe it is gold & appears to be an ironclad boat. I hoping someone can give me more info on it.

Cool pin/pendant....it’s post Civil War, from a G.A.R. Lodge 17. I like its design, very appropriate for the lodge full of veterans.

Thank you for the insight. I started to clean it up but stopped for fear of losing some detail.
