29TH - NEW!!! - Gettysburg - East Middle Street - Fired .58 Caliber Bullet
-
This fired .58 caliber bullet was acquired with a group of bullets that were
found in the backyard of a house on East Middle Street in Gettysburg.
Although I do not know the exact address, the 200-500 blocks of Middle Street
look out towards Culp's and Cemetery Hills and Middle Street was the location of the Confederate
line that ran through the town. These are the first bullets that I have acquired
from a site in town. They were being displayed in a small frame and
a rubbery glue was used to attach them to the paper. I was able to get almost all of this
glue off just by pulling at it and only a small spot remains. I will provide a letter,
signed by me, with the provenance information.

Fired Confederate Gardner Bullet

This fired Gardner bullet was with a group of Gettysburg bullets that were documented with
the provenance that they were recovered along the Railroad Cut - this bullet was
identified as having been fired by Davis' Brigade so it is almost certainly from the same place. It comes from
an old, meticulously documented
collection - the same collection that the Pickett's
Charge bullets that I sold in December came from. The Railroad Cut
was a famous location on the first day's battlefield, just west of Gettysburg,
where soldiers from Davis' Mississippi Brigade were captured after getting trapped
within the cut. I will include the original

This half of a bullseye canteen looks like it has been cut or sliced across the face - the is in a straight

It was found by relic hunter Karl Young on the land immediately adjacent to the Lady Farm back in the 1970s or early

the Confederate Division of Major General Edward Johnson during the battle. This area
was also very close to Camp Letterman. The relic has been very carefully cleaned and is coated with a thin
coat of polyuretane. There are some places where it appears that small spots of glue were used to hold pieces together
- this was done before I acquired the relic. I will provide a letter, signed by me, with the provenance

Gettysburg - Confederate
Bayonet Scabbard Tip
From
a Confederate Position just North / Northeast of Culp's Hill - Along the Hanover Road
-


A single piece brass bayonet scabbard tip of distinct Confederate style (2 9/16 inches long) which was
found by a local relic hunter (on private property, with permission), was recovered from a Confederate position, held on July
2nd and 3rd during the battle, on the Hanover Road, not far from Culp's Hill. It sounds to me like it was found near
the Lady Farm or the Thomas farm - at one time, the lands around here were frequented by relic hunters, but now access is
no longer possible. The relics in this group were apparently recovered from a fairly deep depth and included remains
of leather (including a cap box that I have already sold and the belt that I currently have for sale) and the infantry button
that is also currently for sale. The brass is split at the bottom and there are a couple of other splits coming from the edges
and the rim of the mouth is rough. I will include a letter, signed by me, noting this provenance. This item may be seen in case 63 at the Antique Center of Gettysburg. -
