We are working as partners in conjunction with Gettysburg Relics to offer some very nice American Civil War relics for sale. The owner of Gettysburg Relics was the proprietor of Artifact at 777 on Cemetery Hill in Gettysburg for a number of years, and we are now selling on .THE BATTLE OF MONOCACY, MARYLAND ~ RECOVERED ON THE \'HILL EAST OF THE BLOCKHOUSE\' ~ We believe that this great Civil War relic is a section of side plate from a model 1842 Springfield smoothbore musket, measuring about 2 1/4\" long, was recovered from the Battle of Monocacy Maryland on April 7, 1967 by Earl Gooding of Maryland. There were only several steel/iron relics within this particular Monocacy box in Gooding\'s collection. PLEASE NOTE, the main image shows an original side plate in good condition for reference purposes. The relic side plate section is the only piece included, along with a letter of provenance.This relic was found at the site of the Battle of Monocacy in Maryland and comes from the collection of a southern Maryland relic hunter who kept his finds from each expedition in small pin boxes marked with the location and often, the date. In most cases, it appeared as if he never opened the boxes again once they were stored away (they were still filled with dirt etc.) The box (not included) states that this grouping of artifacts was recovered on April 7, 1967 on the Monocacy MD Battlefield.The Battle of Monocacy is often referred to as the Battle that saved Washington. Fought on July 9th, 1864, Union forces slowed the advance of Jubal Early\'s Confederate Army in its advance towards the northern Capitol. A provenance letter will be included.
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. Land on Battlefields that is now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, was acquired after the relics were recovered. We will not buy or sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally.
Thank you for viewing!
