    Description

    THE 1862 SEVEN DAYS BATTLES, VIRGINIA - From The William A. Reger Collection - Here is a nice Civil War Relic Fired .52 caliber Sharps Carbine hole-base Bullet that appears to have been possibly been recovered from a very wet area, as the surface of the bullet is very smooth.
    This Civil War relic fired bullet was recovered at the site of one of the Seven Days Battles. It was in a large Pennsylvania collection of William A. Reger who carefully identified the relics that he found in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Reger passed away in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2011. The 1862 Seven Days Battles marked the rise of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to prominence as his aggressive attacks against the forces of George McClellan, despite the fact that the Confederate Army was outnumbered, saved Richmond. The photographed tag is the original type-writer typed tag that Reger made for this grouping, and is not included, however a copy of the tag will be included, as well as a letter of provenance, containing the specific provenance information.
    We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags
    if there are original identification tags or maps, as well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information.
    All of the collections that we are offering for sale are guaranteed to be authentic, and are either older recoveries, found before the 1960s when it was still legal to metal detect battlefields, or were recovered on private property with permission. Some land on Battlefields that is now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, was acquired after the items were recovered. We will not sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally.
    Thank you for viewing!
