Gettysburg Civil War Relic The Slaughter Pen Devil's Den to BRT Artillery Shell

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. They are not unlimited and when they are sold out, we cannot replace them. The park still owns the majority of the relics once owned by the Rosensteel Family.

A very nice Relic condition Iron Artillery Shell Fragment from an exploded 10-Pound Parrott or CS Read Artillery Shell (It measures about 3 3/4" by 1 1/2" by 5/8" to 1/2" thick and weighs 8.5 ounces).
This very nice
very nice Relic condition jagged iron artillery shell fragment from what appears to be an
exploded 10-Pound Parrott or CS Read Artillery Shell,
was found at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
in the area between the now famous battlefield landmark of Devil's Den and its parking lot, and Big Round Top. This area is often referred to as 'the Slaughter Pen', which is where many of the July 2nd Confederate dead were photographed. These artillery shell fragment artifacts from this site, came to us in very limited numbers. 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.
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, additional maps, as well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information.
Thank you for viewing!
