    A
    Fired .58 Caliber Type III Williams Cleaner Bullet with Ramrod impression on nose (missing its cleaning tail)
    that was recovered from the site of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain Georgia from the site of the Assault on the Confederate defenses on Pigeon Hill - in September 1975.
    "FIRED DURING THE UNION XV CORPS ATTACK ALONG BURNT HICKORY ROAD - JUNE 27, 1864".
    This bullet was a part of the collection of William A. Reger from Berks County, Pennsylvania, who carefully documented his relics by recovery location and often recovery date. He passed away in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2011. The original type-writer typed tag which is shown is not included, as it was the only tag that Reger included with the grouping, however a copy of the tag, as well as 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, 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!
