This riker box display contains a dropped Union three ring minie ball and a dropped Confederate Gardner bullet. Also in the box is a Pattern 1839 oval “US” belt plate meant for wear on the Union soldier’s waist belt from which his cap box and bayonet with scabbard was suspended. This plate is from the famous Rosensteel collection which formed the basis for the present Gettysburg National Military Park collection. The surface of the plate is dark throughout and has been sealed to protect the finish. There is a drilled hole at center where the plate was once attached to a relic display board. The edges of the plate show some wear. The reverse has one of the two arrow style hooks and the tongue.
