Gettysburg Civil War Relic Recovered on W.H. Johns Farm Pickett's Charge Bullet

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 Rosensteel collection of artifacts are not recent recoveries, and pre-date the 1960s. The park still owns the majority of the relics once owned by the Rosensteel Family.

.58 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet - Found by the Sanders Brothers from the 1930s-1950s.
This bullet was once part of the famous Rosensteel Collection of Gettysburg. This specific relic was identified as having been found on the Johns Farm. The Johns Farm was not established until after the battle, but the house and barn appear in the famous Cyclorama painting of Pickett's Charge because they had been built by the time the artist prepared to paint the scene in the 1880s. The farm, bordered Long Lane and the house, which still stands, sits on the block immediately east of Steinwehr Avenue. As an easy guide, the farm can be seen from the parking lot of Appalachian Brewing Company. The Colt Park neighborhood now sits on the lane once owned by the Johns. Not only was the farm bordered by the Confederate lines on Long Lane putting it between the two opposing armies on July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, but there seems to be no doubt that Pickett's Charge would have affected it as well. This bullet was recovered by the Sanders Brothers, who lived on the farm between the 1920s and 1950s. The Rosensteel Collection is arguably the most famous collection of Gettysburg relics that has ever existed. John Rosensteel opened his Round Top Museum of Gettysburg artifacts in 1888.
A provenance letter will be included.
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.
We include 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.
Thank you for viewing!
