THE BATTLE OF GAINES' MILL, VIRGINIA - FROM THE WILLIAM A. REGER COLLECTION - A Dropped US .577 Caliber Williams Regulation Bullet that was recovered from the Battlefield of Gaine's Mill, Virginia.
This Dropped US .577 Caliber Williams Regulation Bullet was recovered by William A. Reger on the Gaines' Mill Battlefield in Virginia. This relic was in a large Berks County, Pennsylvania collection of carefully identified relics that were recovered in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Gaines' Mill was the second battle of the famous Seven Days Battles of 1862. At Gaines Mill, the Union position was eventually broken (after a Confederate attack spearheaded by Hood's Texans) but at the cost of almost 15,000 casualties on both sides. The original type-writer typed tag that Reger included with the relic grouping is not included, as it is the only one for the entire grouping, however,
a copy and a provenance letter will be included.
We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags if there are original 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!
