    Description

    We are working as partners in conjunction with Gettysburg Relics to offer some very nice American Civil War relics for sale.
    THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG - THE BLOODY WHEATFIELD / THE WHEATFIELD 'LOOP' AREA (STONY HILL) - THE FAMOUS ROSENSTEEL FAMILY - A very nice dropped US .58 caliber Washington Arsenal 3-Ring Bullet (Star in the cavity)
    This very nice dropped US .58 caliber Washington Arsenal 3-Ring Bullet (Star in the cavity), was found in the wooded area between the Wheatfield and the area known as the loop (the road that leads away from the Wheatfield passes through here - it is the area that the Irish Brigade Monument is in). 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 signed provenance letter will be provided with this relic.
    Thank you for viewing!
