Gettysburg Civil War Relic SW of Hospital by Ronald Hardman Fired Enfield 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.
These 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. Ronald Hardman's collection is also well-known.
* Please note that it has come to our attention that a number of other sellers are copying our titles, (in most cases word for word) after we first listed relics from this particular Ronald Hardman grouping, as well as others from the Rosensteel collection, and we suspect that their relics are likely not from the same collection.
THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA - RECOVERED SOUTHWEST OF THE GETTYSBURG HOSPITAL / A PICKETT'S CHARGE STAGING AREA / NEAR THE RECREATION PARK AND THE JOHN'S FARM (William Henry Johns was the owner of the farm) / AN AREA OF JULY 1st FIGHTING AS WELL AS JULY 3rd PICKETT'S CHARGE STAGING AREA (THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW BATTLE SITES WITHIN THE MODERN TOWN OF GETTYSBURG THAT WE HAVE SEEN MADE AVAILABLE / RECOVERED BY RONALD HARDMAN IN OR BEFORE 1958, AND LATER PART OF THE FAMOUS ROSENSTEEL COLLECTION - The Tag is the collection label that was with it in recent years. A copy of the tag will be included - Here is a really nice fired high-impact (or high-velocity) .577 caliber Enfield Bullet, the nose of the bullet compressed quite a bit from the impact.
This nice relic condition fired high-impact .577 caliber Enfield bullet, was a part of the famous Rosensteel Collection of Gettysburg and was in a group of artifacts that were identified as having been found by Ronald Hardman in an area southwest of Gettysburg Hospital in or before 1958.  This area was probably the modern day location of the Gettysburg Recreation Park and the Colt Park neighborhood.  The relics were acquired directly from the Rosensteel collection in the mid-1990s and became a part of a private collection.  They remained in this collection for many years before they were again sold. 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. 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.
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, 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!
