This sword was given to a captain who was mortally wounded at Gettysburg July 3, 1863 after participating in the repulse of Pickett's Charge. Weer was shot in the knee by a Confederate sharpshooter concealed in McAllister's Mill, and died of his wound on July 26 at Camp Letterman Hospital in Gettysburg.

The sword is 38" overall with a 32" blade which is etched for 2/3 its length with arms panoplies, patriotic and scroll motifs on the obverse and similar motifs on the reverse with large US and "Tiffany & Co. New York" just above the ricasso on the reverse. All etching extensively highlighted with hand engraved details. Blade excellent with just some staining and one area of very light pitting near the tip. Regulation style hilt with superb detail. Sharkskin grip with twisted brass wire, all about perfect with traces of gilt mixing with nice patina. Inscribed on the top of the reverse counterguard, "Captain Norman F. Weer 123rd regt. N. Y. S. V./Presented by the members of his company."

Leather scabbard excellent with brass mounts displaying elaborate floral and scroll engraving with US at the throat, American shield on the middle mount and both motifs on the lower mount. Similar extensive engraving on the reverse of the mounts including Weer's initials "N. F. W." in old English script at the throat just below the "Tiffany & Co. riband. The very heavy ring mounts are composed of acanthus leaves with ribbons where the rings join the scabbard. All mounts about perfect retaining traces of the original gilt and leather scabbard excellent with just a few 'wrinkles', no crazing or flaking and very sound.

The black patent leather officer's sword belt with very nice quality M1851 sword belt plate with medium width tongue and nice patina. Retains the sword hangers and over the shoulder sling, the short sword hanger showing wear, otherwise excellent. Three eagle I coat size buttons and four cuffs from his uniform nicely mounted in a gilt frame.

Norman Fox Weer was 26 years of age when he as a Captain at Hartford, NY on August 19, 1862. On September 10, 1862 he was commissioned into Co. E, 123rd New York Infantry. He was wounded at Chancellorsville on May 3, 1863, and while still recovering from those wounds, was fatally struck at Gettysburg.

Accompanied by a full set of records and a copy photograph of Weer in uniform. A great Civil War presentation sword for both visual and historic impact.

This sword was the centerpiece of the John Henry Kurtz collection.

This early Civil War artifact is a very good relic example of a seldom seen U.S. contract smoothside canteen that was once part of the personal collection of the Eckert and Rosensteel families of Gettysburg, PA.

Family history holds that George D. Rosensteel, a long time relic collector, established a Civil War museum in Gettysburg in 1921. He subsequently added the fine relic collection of John H. Rosensteel to the museum. John Rosensteel, George's uncle, lived through the three days of fighting and began gathering war artifacts from the Gettysburg battlefield once the armies left the scene. In 1941, Lawrence Eckert married George Rosensteel's daughter, Angela, and began working at his father-in-law's National Museum. When the Rosensteel family sold the Ziegler's Grove property to the U.S. government in 1972, the family also donated the museum's relic collection to the National Park Service's Gettysburg Battlefield. Eckert was retained by the NPS and became curator of the huge relic collection at Gettysburg. During the same period, the Eckerts' began assembling their own personal Gettysburg collection, of which this item was a part.

Picked up on the battlefield sometime after the war, this specimen resembles the more familiar M1858 smoothside canteen but differs slightly in size and style. Example features a ¾" wide metal band that runs the circumference of the canteen and joins the two oblate spheroid convex tin sides. One of the most important accoutrements of any soldier's gear outside his weapon was his canteen. Remarkably, the canteen still retains its original, ½" wide linen sling now turned to a dusky gray-brown coloring from age and soiling. Strap has separated in one area and has been tied off with a knot. Shows moderate to heavy fraying along the edges. No cloth covers on the entire canteen body. Spaced along the rim are three, iron sling loops. The body of the canteen is tight and strong but it does bear a number of depression (dents) on one side and a solder repair along the very bottom of the canteen at the sling loop. Canteen is missing its pull ring, cork stopper, and chain.

This artifact is a rare canteen from the Gettysburg battle and true survivor of the American Civil War. A great opportunity to acquire an original, unique Gettysburg-related Federal canteen for your collection.

A veteran of the most famous battle of the Civil War, the cover of this smooth-sided canteen bears the carefully stenciled lettering "[R]OUND/TOP" on one side, an obvious reference to where it saw action in July, 1863. The full cotton strap, stopper and original attachment twine are intact, as is most of the brown wool cover. The spout bears the vertical stamping of the maker, "A. JEWETT." The canteen shows wear overall with the expected staining, worn and threadbare spots to the covering. The black ½ inch high lettering has corresponding wear but is clearly visible. A fine treasure from that important encounter. Ex-John Henry Kurtz collection.

David Valrance was an 18 year old resident of Brownstone, MI, who enlisted as a private and mustered into Co. "G", 24th Michigan Infy. on 8/13/1862, and was mustered out on 6/30/1865. His unit was one of the famed Iron Brigade Regiments [along with the 2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin, and the 19th Indiana.] This famed black-hatted brigade performed heroically at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and especially at Gettysburg. In this battle, in which Valrance describes his mates as "a flock of sheep fighting like good fellows", the 24th Michigan lost 316 casualties out 496. Through the remainder of the war the regiment participated in Grant's 1864 Overland campaign and in the Siege of Petersburg. During service it lost 189 men killed and mortally wounded and 139 by disease for a total of 328.

A good group of four partly-printed war-date documents pertaining to the ordnance stores used by Co. H, 102nd New York Volunteers during the Gettysburg Campaign.

As part of Pennsylvania born Gen. John Geary's division in the 12th Corps, the 102nd NY was heavily engaged on Culp's Hill and helped repulse CS Gen. Ewell's attack during the Second Day's battle. These documents date from July 7 and August 22, 1863, and give a detailed look at the equipment used during the Gettysburg campaign, ranging from the number of cartridges and musket caps expended, to the number of accoutrements and uniform pieces reissued. Most unusual is the re-issuance of 57 "brass letters", indicating that them ment must have felt it necessary to discard these shiny objects during the battle, while one document indicates that 230 cartridges were fired during July and August. Later that summer, the 11th and 12th Corps were consolidated with the 102nd serving under Sherman for the remainder of the war.

Very light toning with minor fold splits, else very good.

Here is an identified specimen of a London-marked, 36 caliber Colt Model 1851 Navy revolver carried by Lt. Edward Good who was wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg. Identification to Edward Good of "F" Company, 11th Regiment, New Jersey Volunteer Infantry is by his great grandson along with family descendant records. It is highly possible that the officer had this revolver on his person at the time of battle. Good, a native of New York City, was a twenty-nine year old resident of Trenton, NJ when he was mustered into Federal service on August 13, 1862 as a 2nd Lieutenant in Company "F", 11th New Jersey Volunteers for three years. He served with the regiment until October 1, 1862 when he was placed in temporary command of "F" company, a command he held until Feb 9, 1863 when he was promoted to 1st Lieutenant in the company. The hard-fought 11th NJ infantry regiment was part of the General Sickle's Third Corps and served in the 1st Brigade, 2nd Division. Lt. Good was with the unit when it arrived on the Gettysburg battlefield until he was wounded in action on July 2, 1863. During the afternoon of the second day's heavy fighting, the 11th New Jersey was posted in the area of the Peach Orchard near the Klingel House along the Emmitsburg Rd where it confronted the attacking Mississippi and Alabama brigades of CS Generals Barksdale and Wilcox. The probability is high that Good received his gunshot wound here. According to his regimental surgeon's report, Lt. Good "received a wound from a rifle ball from the enemy in the right arm near the shoulder shattering the bone thereof, said wound was received in the battle of Gettysburgh in the state of Pennsylvania on the 2nd day of July AD 1863." Good was honorably discharged for disability on October 7, 1863 with his right arm paralyzed and his elbow contracted in place at nearly a right angle. Edward Good returned to New Jersey and resided in Hamilton Square, Mercer County where he married and raised a family. The Civil War veteran died on September 1, 1916.

Lt. Good's London Colt is an original Second Model British version of the popular 1851 Navy Revolver in complete and dark condition. One of the most sought after sidearms ever produced by Samuel Colt was his Colt Navy pistol, a premier medium caliber handgun. Sam Colt designated the term 'Navy' to imply the caliber (.36) of the weapon, and later used the term 'Army' for its heavier .44 caliber companion, the Colt Model 1860 Army. U.S. manufactured sometime in late 1856, this weapon is an honest example of a much-carried personal sidearm before and during the American Civil War. Pistol bears serial number #41766 marked on all its components (barrel, frame, triggerguard, loading lever, buttplate, cylinder and wedge. With a .36 caliber, six-shot capacity, this cap and ball percussion specimen features an octagonal 7½" long barrel with attached loading lever. Barrel still enjoys some sharp edges and holds a clear, one-line address marking that reads "ADDRESS COL. COLT LONDON". Mechanics are tight overall, with strong half cock and full cock positions, but the indexing calls for some minor adjustments. Cylinder bears just traces of the roll-engraved naval engagement scene between the Republic of Texas Navy and the Mexican Navy. It also exhibits a dark patina with scattered spots of pockmarking overall. Cylinder safety pins are present but are hammered down as normally found. The six original nipples are in strong condition. No original colors remain on the three-screw frame. "COLTS PATENT" stamp appears on the left side of frame but is thin. Screws are unbuggered. Octagonal barrel with its attached loading lever exhibits light peppering and no bluing. The original, one-piece varnished walnut grips are in very good condition with no chips or cracks. Sidearm bears steel gripstraps and a large rounded triggerguard. Exterior surface of the metal exhibits a dark plum coloring with scattered patches of light peppering overall.

Lt. Good's London Colt, recently purchased at a local Gettysburg auction, comes with a copy of the soldier's military and pension records from the National Archives, and a copy of the actual auction. The purchased will also receive a letter from the family of Lt. Good attesting to the weapon's provenance. This London Colt Navy, with its fine provenance and Gettysburg affiliation is a wonderful Civil War artifact that will enhance any firearm display or New Jersey focused collection.

This fine, presentation wooden artifact, known as a 'swagger stick', was crafted from a section of a tree that grew on the Gettysburg battlefield. Presented in 1906 to Gettysburg-wounded veteran Diogenus D. Chase of the 157th New York Infantry, this short, presentation 'swagger stick' is a wonderful personal memorial to the soldier and serves as a symbol of authority in military circles.

Diogenus Chase was a nineteen year-old young man from Morrisville when he enlisted in the army as a private on August 26, 1862 at Eaton, New York. Chase mustered into Company "F", 157th Regiment, New York Volunteers on September 19, 1862 and served until mustered out on January 1, 1865. During his military service, Private Chase experienced a number of battle experiences but none was more harrowing than his time at the Battle of Gettysburg. The young soldier was with his regiment when he was severely wounded in action on July 1, 1863. The 157th NY regiment was on the fields north of the town adjacent to the Carlisle Pike in line near Captain Dilger's 1st Ohio Light Battery. During an artillery duel early in the afternoon, Private Chase was wounded with a projectile that passed completely through his body. He was left for dead on the battlefield and remained where he fell until 4PM of the second day when he was removed from that exposed position by passing rebel soldiers. The soldier was on the field for four days before he was moved to a corps hospital. Chase survived and remained in the army with the Veteran Reserve Corp until his discharge. Chase returned home, took up the study of medicine and graduated from Bellevue Hospital Medical College in New York City in 1869. Young Dr. Chase went on to become a leading citizen held in high regard in the community and in the GAR post at Morrisville.

Swagger sticks ('short sticks') were most often carried by uniformed military authority, usually commissioned officers and / or senior non-commissioned enlisted men, who used the 'stick' to direct military drill and maneuvers or to administer physical punishment. Normally placed under the right arm pit with the uplifted hand holding on to the stick's end, the swagger stick was used to keep the officers from putting their hands into their uniform pockets. This inscribed 'swagger stick' was presented to former army private Diogenus Chase in 1906 some forty-three years after his Gettysburg service and for his subsequent dedication to the call of medicine. In outstanding original condition, this cylindrical and tapered artifact likely crafted from a tree limb is a handsome specimen of finished oak that appears to have been coated with a clear varnish or sealer. Device measures 15 7/8" long and has a ¾" diameter at one end with a ¼" wide tip.

Trimmed with two, fine german-silver ferrules at each end of the swagger stick, one of which displays a jeweler-engraved inscription that states "From tree grown / upon the battlefield of / Gettysburg, Pa. Fought / July 1, 2, 3, 1863. / Presented by / Julius M. to / Diogenus D. Chase, / Co. F. 157th Reg. N. Y. Vols. / July 27, 1906. / 1863 Testis in Cello et pace 1906". The top cap of this ferrule, which is slightly loose, also displays engraved initials of "D D C" in old English script form. Both ferrules are secured to the wooden stick via tiny brads. Specimen is in excellent condition with no cracks or splits of markings on the wood. Just slight scuffing to the scattered spots on the surface.

Still in its original, brown pasteboard case, this artifact is a very fine example of an identified swagger stick inscribed and dedicated to a Gettysburg-wounded soldier from New York State.

From the life-long collection of Ott Shields started in 1918, the museum opened in 1925 on the first day's battlefield, Route 30 West next to the Buford monument. Shields, a native of Gettysburg whose family dates back to the early settlers of Gettysburg, began to acquire relics from a variety of sources - from "eyeballing" relics on the fields and from contributions from friends and family. Over time the collection grew in size and quality, much of the material having been picked up by local townspeople soon after the fighting stopped.

In 1985 the family decided to close the museum with the National Park Service buying the land and building. The collection was sold at the Redding Auction Companyin the 16th November 1985.

This bass drum measures two feet in height and has a two foot diameter drumhead. It still has its faded wingspread American Eagle design on the side of the drum, measuring 16" x 10". The drum's wood shell body has a varnish that has turned darker over time. No maker's label. The drum is in untouched condition, having never been cleaned or repaired. Comes with a copy of the auction catalog along with a copy of a North South Trader magazine article about the auction.

Presented here is an original series of three, oversize, multi-colored topographical battle maps of the Gettysburg battlefield drawn by Gettysburg resident John B. Bachelder and printed in 1876. Titled "The Map of the BATTLE FIELD OF GETTYSBURG", each of the highly detailed, individually-executed and professionally-made maps visually depict the opposing force arrangements at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on the first, second and third day of battle and are so labeled.

Each map features the battle action of that day between the troops of Union Major General George E. Meade's Army of the Potomac and those of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Each of the maps are executed in black, blue and red ink on a period sheet of thin drawing paper that measures 37" x 30". Maps clearly depict the multitude of road networks in the Gettysburg area at the time, plus the positions of the various Union and Confederate units, local buildings, wood lots, corn fields, grass fields, rock outcroppings, stone walls, rail fences, and hay stacks along with contemporary descriptions of each drawn device.

Colors are bright and sharp. Each of the maps also exhibit additional lines of verbiage printed in black ink at the upper corners that enhances the legends at the bottom of the maps. Maps are in excellent condition overall but the paper exhibits areas of light foxing especially near the perimeter edges, along with minor tears, rips and small corner and edge sections missing from the first-day and third- day maps. Each map shows no visible evidence at all of folding or creasing of the paper. No perforations or holes. These maps can be restored to their original quality and luster.

This original, New York Tribune's front-page edition is a reporter's first-hand account of the fighting at Gettysburg, PA on the first and second of July 1863. The newspaper is professionally executed in a modern, gold gilt wood frame with museum conservation, single acid-free matting and a beige-paper sealed backside. The newspaper itself measures 15" wide x 20" high and appears to be a four-page printed document paper that is folded over. Overall size of the ornately decorated gold gilded frame is 23" wide x 28" high.

The New York Tribune was an American newspaper first established by Horace Greeley in 1841 and was long considered one of the leading newspapers in the US. Edited by Greeley, this paper is Volume XX111, No. 6,940 and was issued for public consumption on Friday, July 3, 1863. Greeley, known as a reformer and a gadfly, was an antagonist to both the North and the South before and during the Civil War. The publication, which sold for 3 cents, was printed every day with occasional evening editions.

This newspaper details numerous accounts of battle during the 1st and 2nd day of fighting and does not relate the famous charge by CS General Picket on the 3rd day as that sphere of battle was not yet known or conveyed to the paper. Article includes the Federal 1st and 11th Army Corps, Union and Confederate Generals, officer casualty lists of various Union regiments and a host of local incidents related to the historic battle. Printed errors are found in the article, i.e. such as the 'capture of CS General Ewell on the first day; and Union General Buford's cavalry division in a charge on the rebels, etc. The thin, beige-colored paper artifact is in perfect condition, clean, easy to read and exhibits no staining throughout the entire page.

A great historical document containing a full report, though skewed, on the first two days of fighting at Gettysburg, PA. This remarkably preserved edition of the New York Tribune would enhance any Civil War collection.

This is the first congressional notice in bills dealing with the Gettysburg battle site of the Confederate positions, and is the report that leads to the authorization of the Confederate tablet markers seen at Gettysburg today. From the tone of the following quote, it can be seen that, where north and south are concerned, the tone is reconciliation-"So the day will come when the American who visits Gettysburg long after the passions and resentments and recrimination of this generation shall have passed away will want to know not only where Reynolds fell and Howard rallied…..but also where Lee planted his lines of batteries, where Longstreet formed his brigades to crush the Union left, and where Pickett and Pettigrew massed their serried columns for their magnificent assault upon the center."

This item is straight from the Eckert family of Gettysburg collection, who was the daughter of George Rosensteel who founded the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum. The lamp is made from tin and appears to be hand made. The main part of the lamp is a 12-inch long and 4 inches in diameter cylinder. From the cylinder are (3) 3 /2 inch tubes with wicks inside. On the back is a small 2-inch tube that is attached on an angle that would be used to fill it. From the back extends a 9-inch piece of 1-inch diameter tin with an angled brace on each side. This was probably used for mounting the lamp. Attached to the back is a large piece of tin that extends up 12 inches and then is bent out over the wicks. It is also braced by heavy steel wire on both sides. All fabricated parts are attached by solder. There is much speculation as to how and what purpose this lamp served.

From the Cashtown area close to Gettysburg, PA comes this original, brass, oval waist belt plate which is a regulation 1839 pattern, enlisted Dragoon or Rifleman's accoutrement in super veteran condition. The oval plate is constructed from rolled, die-struck sheet brass and measures 53mm x 84mm. The broad oval face exhibits large letters U.S. embossed on the front. Face wears a pleasing, rich bronze patina overall along with some scattered dings and dents from actual use. Border edges exhibit some slight dents and hits. Dragoon saber belt plates were issued by the US Army from 1830 to 1851. The plate had belt hooks 'reversed' from the arrangement used on smaller infantry plates.

The backside of plate is lead filled and has two fixed 'puppy paw' belt hooks and the single brass clasp hook. The fixed paws were opposite the letter "S" while the clasp hook was positioned opposite the letter "U". The hook position was to accommodate the dragoons saber belt. Back shows no visible maker's mark and the lead surface is smooth with no erosion. Lead has a dusky gray patina overall. A very fine 'dragoon' waist belt plate specimen that would handsomely compliment any collection of Civil War accoutrements.

Here is a Civil War Federal infantry oval waist belt plate that is truly a fine collectible specimen. Recovered from an undisclosed location on the Gettysburg battlefield shortly after the fighting, this regulation 1839 pattern oval plate measures 87mm x 53mm and is constructed of die-struck and rolled sheet brass. In fine condition, the convex-shaped accoutrement specimen has the large raised letters "US" surrounded by a double-bordered edging on the face. Entire plate face exhibits a shiny, gold gilt surface with very minor dents or dings from use and storage. Backside of the plate is complete with its two brass arrowhead hooks and single clasp, all tight and intact. Dark gray lead-filled back is in smooth, strong, original condition with no erosion or cracking. Lead is marked with "G-burg" in modern black marker but telltale remnants of the original black paint indicating 'G'burg' along with other, now indiscernible, words are visible along the upper and bottom edges. A few surface scuffs are noticeable on the lead surface. No lead erosion whatsoever. This very fine, Gettysburg-recovered brass U.S. oval waist belt plate is in fabulous original condition. A much desirable artifact worthy of any Civil War display or belt plate collection.

Here we have two early relic pickups from the Gettysburg battlefield that once adorned the museum walls of Gettysburg resident Arthur Ott Shields. Mr. Shields started his museum in 1918 and filled the facility with only Gettysburg battlefield recoveries. His museum was located on the outskirts of town where Route 30 crossed McPherson's Ridge. The relic cartridge box is an early Federal pattern 1861 specimen that bears a Hartford, Connecticut maker's stamp on the inner flap. The actual name is difficult to discern due to roughness of the leather surface. It reads "EV----- & SONS / MAKERS / HARTFORD CT". We feel this cartridge box may have seen use by a Confederate soldier as the outer flap has been completely cut off or torn away from the box, a common practice among rebel infantrymen.

Leather is in good but brittle condition overall but still retains its implement pouch with closure tab, both roller buckles and clasps at the box bottom, its brass ball-type finial, and the belt loops and shoulder strap loops on the backside. Box does exhibit areas of leather loss especially at the implement pouch and at the left corner of the inner flap where it appears to have been burned by fire as the leather remains are charred and scorched. Right 'ear' remains on the inner flap. Also included is a 15" long section of a waist belt in black bridle leather. Stamped with small letters on the interior of the belt is "SHIELDS GETTYSBURG MUSEUM". Belt leather is also stiff and brittle and has lost all its brass furniture (belt plate and adjuster). No shoulder strap or metal tins are with this artifact.

Accompanying these Gettysburg relics is a copy of a photograph of the actual Shields Museum taken sometime in the early 20th century. This is a rare chance to acquire a remarkable set of early-recovered Gettysburg battlefield relics that were once part of the post war Shield's Museum in Gettysburg. An important addition to any Gettysburg display or artifact collection.

Presented here in very fine relic condition is an original Confederate manufactured leather cartridge box that came from the locally well known Dr. Hill collection of Gettysburg. Found on the Seminary Ridge battlefield within days of the fighting, this 'Johnny box' is in remarkable condition with just minimal crazing to the darkened russet leather overall. The leather accoutrement is of the pattern produced at various Southern Arsenals during the Civil War and is slightly smaller than the U.S. model .58 caliber cartridge box. Very possibly, this cartridge box was made to hold the .54 caliber paper cartridges used by the C.S. Army.

In very fine relic condition, the box is constructed of tanned russet leather that has darkened with age to present a pleasing, plum-colored appearance overall. Piece has been machine stitched with white heavy thread and the construction is void of any brass or copper rivets. Remarkably, all the box leather is very strong yet dry and supple but not stiff. This original, Confederate, Gettysburg battle relic cartridge box measures 7" long by 6½" high by 1½" deep. Box retains its leather outer flap with its two 'ears' still tightly sewn to the flap and no provision for a closure tab. Flap is strong and has no flaking or cracking but does suffer from some slight scuffing about the top hinge area. Box also has its strong leather implement pouch with its own closure tab, both roller buckles and a very unusual finial made of leather. Original closure tab on the pouch flap is strong and intact with light creasing but is not ripped or distorted. Both roller buckles are strongly stitched and complete with iron loops, clasps and tin rolled protectors. No leather inner flap is present and the box never had one. Box is missing its ammunition tins and also its over-the-shoulder sling. Backside of this box specimen is void of the two vertical waist belt loops but the two horizontal, leather-tooled shoulder sling loops are intact and strongly stitched. Interestingly, the box's side panels are made of two pieces of leather, sandwiched and stitched together. One of these interior side panels exhibits a hand-carved letter "B" and other carved markings to the leather. Very likely indicates the use of scrap or re-used leather pieces in the box construction.

Never cleaned, this superlative Southern cartridge box exhibits just light surface dirt. A super battlefield pickup just days or weeks after the fighting ended at Gettysburg, this "Johnny box" was part of the Dr. Hill collection in Gettysburg for years.

(M17405) $4,000.00

Here is a true and original, Confederate leather cartridge box direct from the estate of a local Gettysburg family. Provenance and information passed down through the generations is that this leather cartridge box accoutrement was found and picked from the Gettysburg battlefield by a family member just a few days after the fighting ended here. At this point, information is limited but the piece was displayed in a family museum for years and then held privately by the family until recently. If further information is available from the family, it will be presented with this piece.

The cartridge box specimen is completely unmarked and lacks the shoulder strap as well as both tins. Box measures approximately 6¾" x 5" x 1½" and is made from what appears to be coarse russet leather with the buff side out and smooth side inward. Outer flap measures approximately 8"across by 7" high and features a slightly scalloped front edge with a 4½" long, 1" wide russet leather closure tab loosely sewn to flap. Inner flap is strong and solid and retains the two end flaps or "ears" sewn to the edges. Flap stitching, which is machine done, is original and quite tight, likewise for the box side stitching. Closure tab looks to have been removed at one time and re-sewn to serve as a display hanger for the cartridge box, which when laid flat, its outer flap lays fully extended and flat on its back - the top flap cannot be folded shut as it would mostly likely causing tearing to the leather. The original tin boxes have long been gone and the bottom of the cartridge box exhibits stretching and downward sagging of the leather. The bottom of this box also shows evidence of the leather being stretched and crowding over a portion of the lead finial. Only one roller buckle and clasp remain. A thin, russet leather implement pouch with closure tab is also sewn to the front. Backside of box has the two horizontal leather strap loops at the top along with two vertical belt loops. Loops are secured to box with stitching and have no rivets. All leather is dry and stiff with just slight cracking and creasing visible on the hinge area of the outer flap. Signs of surface flaking appear along the bottom of the box but this Confederate leather specimen is remarkably strong.

Confederate leather, in any condition, is quite difficult to procure on the market today. This wonderful, Southern accoutrement carried by a rebel soldier and left behind at Gettysburg, is a superb artifact from one of the greatest battle engagements of the entire Civil War.

Once part of the well-known Echert / Rosensteel artifact collection of Gettysburg, this large sized, unexcavated, iron strap spur, with its original leather strap, was recovered from an unknown location on the Gettysburg battlefield. Intact Southern spurs are a true rarity these days and this single strap spur, in addition to its obvious scarcity, offers one a great specimen of Confederate cavalry equipment available in the collecting market today.

The large, well finished spur is unquestionably of wartime manufacture and displays unusual CS characteristics of crudely fashioned flat shanks, protruding strap studs, and a straight neck mounted with a horizontally-positioned iron rowel known as a "raking" rowel. Collectors indicate that these types of spurs tend to surface in the eastern theater of operations in Maryland and Virginia. The spur presents a rugged, functional design and is strong and well made. Iron artifact is smooth inside and out and measures approximately 5¼" long by 3" wide at the boot opening. Only visible markings are four, thin vertical file marks in sets of two, on the heel's exterior adjacent to the neck.

An iron circular rowel with twenty-nine points in a star pattern is attached to the end of a tapered, thick round neck. Rowel rotates freely. Iron has acquired a pleasing, dark plum patina. The 6" long x ½" wide leather strap is still strong and supple. Strap exhibits two ¾" long horizontal slits at each end as the means to affix strap to the spur studs. Leather surface is cracked and has crazing but is intact and unbroken. This well made Confederate 'raking' spur from the Eckert-Rosensteel Collection of Gettysburg is a fantastic collectable and would make a very fine addition to any Civil War cavalry display or collection.
