🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Looking for an Accurate Date

[Palmetto Digger]

Looking for an accurate date on this Confederate Reunion medal I dug up a few years back in Columbia. I understand that both sides began having yearly reunions as early as 1866. If we assume Georgia had their first one in 1866, can I assume that this medal was made for an event that took place in 1881?

Cool medal.

I found a record that the Eighth National UCV Reunion was held in Atlanta,.Georgia from 20-23 July 1898. So, assuming it was held annually thereafter, the fifteenth reunion would have been in 1905.
