____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ JULY 26th - NEW!!! - Civil War Veteran's Gettysburg Battlefield Pick Up Mushroomed Bullet Little Round Top -   This nice example of a fired mushroomed bullet came from the collection of a Civil War veteran named McPherson who lived in the Chambersburg, PA. area. The relics in this collection were picked up in the years after the battle and most were identified as having been found in the area of Little Round Top. The unusual patina on this bullet (unlike one that was dug from the ground) seems typical of a bullet that has been exposed to the elements. 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. -

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 14th Corps Badge - Bullet Carved into an Acorn - Found at Resaca, Georgia -     This carved bullet, which was found at Resaca, Georgia in the 1980s, appears to have been shaped into an acorn. The acorn was the 14th Corps symbol and the 14th Corps was present at Resaca. It is 7/8 of an inch in length. This is a neat little relic of Sherman's Atlanta campaign. 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. - - Item Number - R068 Price - $37.00 -
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Antietam Piper Farm Recovered .69 Caliber Bullets -    Dropped .69 caliber minie balls that were recovered from the Piper Farm by a relic hunter in the 1950s. At this time, the land was privately owned and this individual obtained permission from the farmer to hunt the land. There are six in this group with some slight variations. I will sell them individually or as a group. A couple of them have small dents or marks, but overall, they are in very good condition. I will include a letter, signed by me, noting this provenance. -

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Antietam Piper Farm Recovered .69 Caliber Prussian Bullets -    .69 caliber Prussian bullets that were recovered from the Piper Farm by a relic hunter in the 1950s. At this time, the land was privately owned and this individual obtained permission from the farmer to hunt the land. These all appear to have been drops (which would not be surprising since this was a Confederate position and these bullets are usually associated with Southern forces) although they have a few nicks and dents here and there. I will include a letter, signed by me, noting this provenance. These items may be seen in Case 63 at the Antique Center of Gettysburg. - Item Number - A041 SOLD! -
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Antietam Piper Farm Recovered Carved .69 Caliber Prussian Bullet -    A .69 caliber Prussian bullet which was carved by a soldier. It was recovered from the Piper Farm by a relic hunter in the 1950s. At this time, the land was privately owned and this individual obtained permission from the farmer to hunt the land. The soldier appears to have sliced off the bottom of the bullet leaving only one ring and a shallower cavity. Small lines (which almost look like pencil lines) have been made up the side of the bullet. 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. - Item Number - A042 Price - $30.00 -
_______________________________________________________________________ A .69 Caliber Bullet in Wood from Cold Harbor From the John Graham Collection -    This .69 caliber bullet in a small piece of wood was recovered by Raleigh Cassidy from the site of the Battle of Cold Harbor and was a part of the John Graham collection. Graham was a long time relic hunter and collector. .69 caliber bullets in wood are relatively uncommon. The wood is dry. I will include a letter, signed by me, noting this provenance. -

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soldier Carved .69 Caliber Prussian Bullet - Animal? Cold Harbor - The Henry Deeks Collection -
    This is an unusual item. It is a carved .69 caliber Prussian bullet. It appears that the soldier may have been carving an animal whose head was at the nose of the bullet. There are various swirls around the nose which may be fur and there may also be eyes. The soldier carved various other lines along the length of the bullet and even carved very small lines on the base of the skirt (which is uneven). This carved bullet was a part of the Henry Deeks collection and was found in a coffee can that was marked "Cold Harbor". I will include a letter, signed by me, noting this provenance. - Inventory Number - R014 Price - $17.00

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Interesting Carved Bullet from the Antietam Area -
   This interesting carved .58 caliber bullet was found near Antietam in the early 1970s, but I do not know the exact location. The soldier has carved off the nose of the bullet and a hole has been bored in the center. There is also a pin hole in the cavity and it is possible that the hole goes all the way through the bullet. - Inventory Number - BU001 Price - $6.00 -
