Please visit our eBay store for a complete list of in-stock Civil War relics organized by recovery location. 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 eBay. THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA ~ THE 1ST DAY'S BATTLEFIELD ~ RECOVERED ALONG FAIRFIELD ROAD (KNOWN AT THE TIME OF THE BATTLE AS HAGERSTOWN ROAD) ~ NEAR THE GOLF COURSE AND HERR RIDGE ~ A very nice small, jagged fragment of an artillery shell (measuring 2 5/8" by 1 1/4" by 5/8" thick, and weighs 3.6 ounces), found along the Fairfield Road on the site of the First Day's Battle at Gettysburg. This fragment from an exploded artillery shell was found along the Fairfield Road (known as Hagerstown Road at the time of the Battle of Gettysburg) at the site of the First Day's Battle at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The site was close to the location of Herr Ridge and the golf course (a walking trail now maintained by the National Park), and the relic was found on private property with permission. 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 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!
