$495.00 ON HOLD

Quantity Available: 1

Item Code: 2023-1480

This plate was recovered on the battlefield of Kennesaw Mountain by Syd Kerksis, one of the legendary early relic hunters and collectors, author of books on military belt plates and Civil War projectiles. The plate comes with Kerksis’ original paper storage envelope bearing his ink notation that he found it in February of 1966 in the 15th Corps lines

The face of the plate has a very nice reddish-brown patina and is free of any dings and dents but does have some ground-in grim in the lower areas. The eagle stamping is strong.

Reverse has 100% of the lead fill with both rusted attachment loops.

Item comes displayed in a Riker box with the original storage envelope.  [ad] [ph:L]
