    Description

    THE SEVEN DAYS BATTLES, VIRGINIA - FROM THE WILLIAM REGER COLLECTION - A very nice Civil War relic dropped .58 Caliber Confederate Gardner Bullet
    This fired .58 caliber Gardner bullet was recovered at the site of one of the Seven Days Battles and was in a large Berks County, Pennsylvania collection of William A. Reger, who carefully identified the relics that he found in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The 1862 Seven Days Battles marked the rise of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to prominence as his aggressive attacks against the forces of George McClellan, despite the fact that the Confederate Army was outnumbered, saved Richmond. The original type-writer typed tag in the photograph is
    not
    included as Reger only made one tag for the grouping, however a copy of the tag, as well as a provenance letter, will be included containing the specific information.
    Reger passed away in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2011.
    We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags
    if there are identification tagsas well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information.
    All of the collections that we are offering for sale are guaranteed to be authentic, and are either older recoveries, found before the 1960s when it was still legal to metal detect battlefields, or were recovered on private property with permission. Some land on Battlefields that is now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, was acquired after the items were recovered. We will not sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally.
    Thank you for viewing!
