EAGLE LETTER OPENER USED BY OFFICER WITH THE 20TH MAINE GETTYSBURG ~ CIVIL WAR

Description

THIS IS PART OF MY CIVIL WAR COLLECTION THAT I AM PUTTING UP FOR AUCTION.
THIS BRASS LETTER OPENER BELONGED TO AN OFFICER WHO WAS WITH THE 20TH MAINE. HE CARRIED THIS WITH HIM AS HE FOUGHT AT GETTYSBURG AND OTHER BATTLES WITH THE 20TH.
I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE THE LETTER OPENER AND SOME OTHER ITEMS AT AN ESTATE SALE OF A GRANDSON OF THE OFFICER'S BACK IN THE 1970'S IN MAINE.
IT IS MADE OF BRASS.
IT MEASURES 8.5"
HAS A LITTLE TARNISH BUT NOT TOO BAD FOR ITS AGE.
A LETTER WITH THE OFFICER'S NAME WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE LETTER OPENER TO THE WINNING BIDDER.
NICE PIECE OF CIVIL WAR HISTORY!
