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 BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS, VIRGINIA - FROM THE WILLIAM A. REGER COLLECTION - A very nice Misfired or Wormed (extracted from the rifle barrel with a tool) .58 caliber 3-Ring Rifle Bullet with tool marks on the nose
This .58 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet was recovered at the site of the Battle of the Wilderness - possibly in the 1950s as the Wilderness appears to have been one of the first places Reger hunted. These artifacts come out of 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. In this case, the tag in the photograph is not included, as it was the only tag for the entire grouping, however a copy and 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!
