This riker box display contains a dropped Union three ring minie ball and a dropped Confederate Gardner bullet.

The surface of the plate has a light patina with small amounts of surface dirt. A small section of the top edge of the plate is missing. The reverse has no hooks and 85% of the lead fill is present.  [ad][ph:L]
