RELIC PORTION OF TONGUE & WREATH BUCKLE FROM GETTYSBURG

$295.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: R22006

This is an excavated piece of a C.S. belt buckle. It is the belt-loop portion of the “tongue” half of a two-piece buckle. Solder marks show where the brass disk was attached. The brass is strong and has a nice brown patina. Recovered in the 1960s, in woods east of Herr’s Ridge at Gettysburg.

This relic was once part of the Iva Rosensteel collection. Mrs. Rosensteel is the sister of George Rosensteel, who started the Electric Map museum in Gettysburg. Eventually, it became a part of the Rider collection in Gettysburg, which remained in the family until The Horse Soldier purchased the collection in June 2016.  [jet]
