Historically, many cities had their own guard formations, which doubled as police and military forces in times of need. Such was the case for Albany, NY.

Several signatures at the bottom and verso, including JAMES MAHLER, who was alderman at the time and organized the Republican Green Rifle Company, also known as the Irish Greens, which he captained.
