Gettysburg Civil War Relic Recovered Top of Devil's Den Fired Bullet Rosensteel

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.
* Please note that it has come to our attention that other sellers are copying our titles (in most cases word for word), after we first listed relics from this particular grouping, as well as others from the Rosensteel collection, and we suspect that their relics are likely not from the same collection.
The Rosensteel collection of artifacts are not recent recoveries, and pre-date the 1960s. They are not unlimited and when they are sold out, we cannot replace them.The park still owns the majority of relics once owned by the Rosensteel Family.
THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA - RECOVERED AT THE TOP OF DEVIL'S DEN - IN THE AREA OF SMITH'S US BATTERY AND THE 124th NEW YORK MONUMENT / FROM THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION - A very nice fired US .58 Caliber Type I Williams Cleaner Bullet with light ramrod impression on the nose and light rifling marks.
A very nice fired US .58 Caliber Type I Williams Cleaner Bullet with light ramrod impression on the nose and light rifling marks,
that was found at Devil's Den, specifically in the area of Smith's US Battery Monument and the 124th New York Infantry Monument. This is the area at the top of Devil's Den, after you have driven around the famous boulders, near the Triangular Field. Devil's Den is one of the most famous locations on the Gettysburg Battlefield and witnessed very heavy fighting during the Confederate attack on July 2nd. This artifact was a part of the collection of Iva Rosensteel-Rider (Born in 1887 and 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 I 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 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!
