    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 / WILLOUGHBY RUN AREA JUST WEST OF REYNOLD'S WOODS & MCPHERSON'S RIDGE, this particular small grouping was described as having been found in the 'Woods and Stream by the Golf Course' (there are very few pieces from this grouping)- ROSENSTEEL COLLECTION -
    A Dropped .577 Caliber Bullet
    This dropped .577 Caliber 3-Ring bullet was found in the area just west of Reynolds' Woods and McPherson's Ridge - the area from Willoughby Run up to the modern Country Club Road. This particular small grouping of artifacts were described as having been found in the 'Woods and Stream by the Golf Course' (there are very few pieces from this grouping). This artifact was a part of the collection of Iva Rosensteel, 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.
    Thank you for viewing!
