    Description

    We are working as partners in conjunction with Gettysburg Relics to offer some very nice American Civil War relics for sale. The owner of Gettysburg Relics was the proprietor of Artifact at 777 on Cemetery Hill in Gettysburg for a number of years, and we are now selling exclusively on eBay.
    THE BATTLE OF WHITE OAK SWAMP, VIRGINIA (FRAYSER'S FARM/ GLENDALE) - THE SEVEN DAYS BATTLES - FROM THE WILLIAM A. REGER COLLECTION - A relic condition .577 caliber Enfield Bullet with cone cavity, (possibly dropped, possibly fired into soft ground)
    A very nice relic condition .577 caliber Enfield Bullet with cone cavity, (possibly dropped, possibly fired into soft ground), that was recovered in April 1971 from the Battlefield of White Oak Swamp - (Frayser's Farm - Glendale, Virginia) by William A. Reger of Berks County, Pennsylvania. This artifact was in a large Pennsylvania collection of carefully identified relics that were recovered in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Reger passed away in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2011.
    The fighting at White Oak Swamp was really connected to the larger battle known as Glendale or Frayser's Farm. The Battle of Glendale took place on June 30th, 1862 - the sixth day of the famous Seven Days Battles. Although it is not as well known as Malvern Hill or Gaines' Mill, the battle was intense, involving over 80,000 troops and almost 7500 combined casualties. We will include a letter containing the specific provenance information.
    We included as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags if there are identification tags or maps, as 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 are now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, were 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!
