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.

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 collection label and a letter, signed by me, with the specific provenance.

This half of a bullseye canteen looks like it has been cut or sliced across the face - the is in a straight line and certainly does not appear to be the result of rusting or deterioration. It looks like the damage was either done with a knife or a sword.  A little more than half of the spout (and the complete collar) is present, but is detached.  It was found by relic hunter Karl Young on the land immediately adjacent to the Lady Farm back in the 1970s or early 1980s (private property with permission).  The Lady Farm was the position of 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 information.

This is a fairly nice size brass accoutrement buckle - it is 1 5/8 x 1 1/2 inches.  It was found in a South Carolina camp that was located west of McPherson's Ridge near Seven Stars.  The site would have been associated with the First Day's battle.  It was found by a local relic hunter on private property with permission. I will provide a letter, signed by me, with the provenance information.

This is a very neat item - it is 5 1/4 inches of an accoutrement strap or a belt.  It was found in a South Carolina camp that was located west of McPherson's Ridge near Seven Stars.  The site would have been associated with the First Day's battle.  It was found by a local relic hunter on private property with permission.  The leather is dry and thin. I will provide a letter, signed by me, with the provenance information.

Gettysburg - Confederate Bayonet Scabbard Tip

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

-


G277b.JPG
G277b.JPG

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.

This base section from a 3 inch Read shell (it has the characteristic lathe dimple in the center of the base) was acquired more than a decade ago from a Gettysburg area relic hunter who had access and permission to hunt many of the private farms that surround the battlefield.  The exact location of the recovery was not available, but it was identified as a Gettysburg find.  The fragment is 1 1/4 inches tall and 2 1/4 inches across the base.  I will include a letter, signed by me, noting this provenance.
