  • Condition: A nice Dug Civil War Relic Soldier's Rifle Nipple Protector carved (actually made by the soldier by placing the bullet on the nipple and repeatedly letting the hammer fall on it to form the shape of the nipple protector) from a lead bullet, that was recovered from the battlefield of Gettysburg along the Chambersburg Pike, West of McPherson's Ridge, near Seven Stars Road (on Private Property, with permission). This area was occupied by Confederate forces on July 1st, 1863, during the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg, and this specific site was occupied by troops from South Carolina (based upon buttons that were found at the site). A very interesting looking example with great provenance. It has been pressed flat along the opening, and may have been intentionally rejected, or lost by the soldier.
