STAFFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA - FROM THE WILLIAM A. REGER COLLECTION - FOUND IN 1977 - A dropped .577 caliber 3-Ring Rifle Bullet
This
dropped .577 caliber 3-Ring Rifle Bullet
was
recovered from Stafford County VA in 1977.
This artifact comes from the collection of William A. Reger who lived in Berks County, Pennsylvania and relic hunted at a variety of sites from the late-1950s to the mid-1970s. He passed away in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2011. Reger carefully identified his artifacts with typed labels. While he mentioned most calibers on this particular tag, he left out the .577 and .58 caliber bullets that were among the rest. The original tag is photographed in the second image, but is not included as it was the only tag Reger made for this grouping, however, a copy of the tag, as well as a letter of provenance will be included.
We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags if there are 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!
