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 PA- Granite Schoolhouse Lane Area of Powers Hill - ROSENSTEEL FAMILY -
a very nice dropped .577 caliber 3-Ring Bullet - We have very few pieces from this location
This
dropped .577 caliber 3-Ring Bullet
was found
in the area of Powers Hill
close to the Granite Schoolhouse Lane at Gettysburg, , which runs between Taneytown Road and Baltimore Pike just east of the High Water Mark on Cemetery Ridge. This artifact was a part of the collection of Iva Rosensteel-Rider (born in 1887 and died in 1964), 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!
