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 Rosensteel collection of artifacts are not recent recoveries, and they pre-date the 1960s.
The park still owns the majority of relics once owned by the Rosensteel Family.
THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA - RECOVERED ON LITTLE ROUND TOP - FROM THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION - A very nice Fired Impact .58 Caliber 3-Ring Rifle Bullet with a blunt nose from the impact (it is flat enough to stand upright on its nose), recovered on Little Round Top, one of the most iconic areas of the Battlefield of Gettysburg and a very desirable location to find relics from.
This artifact was recovered on Little Round Top at Gettysburg
. Much can be said of this iconic site, and it is very likely the most popular site on the Battlefield of Gettysburg. This artifact was a part of the collection of Iva Rosensteel-Rider (
Born in 1887, died in 1964), sister of George Rosensteel (founder of the Gettysburg National Museum and the famous Electric Map) so the provenance could not be better. This is the first time that this artifact is being offered for public sale and we feel very privileged in the opportunity to offer it. The Rosensteels were, of course, the most famous artifact collecting family in Gettysburg and the bulk of the relics on display at today's Gettysburg National Park Visitor Center come from the Rosensteels.
A provenance letter will be provided with this relic.
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 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!
