Gettysburg Civil War Relic Dug Slaughter Pen Devil's Den to BRT Saddle Staple

Description: 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 Rosensteel collection of artifacts are not recent recoveries, and pre-date the 1960s. They are not unlimited and when they are sold out, we cannot replace them. The park still owns the majority of the relics once owned by the Rosensteel Family. THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA ~ A VERY RARE LOCATION IN VERY LIMITED NUMBERS ~ RECOVERED AT 'THE SLAUGHTER PEN' ~ DEVIL'S DEN (Specifically the Devil's Den Parking Lot to the North-Western Slope of Big Round Top) ~ FROM THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION ~ This Civil War relic (presumably from the battle and possibly from a CS Confederate saddle. We don't know how many mounted officers would have made it into The Slaughter Pen, however, but that is where this piece was recovered), a brass saddle staple, typical of staples used on Civil War saddles (see the photo in this listings illustrating the various saddle hardware parts), was recovered from the Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in the area known as 'The Slaughter Pen'. This artifact was recovered at Devil's Den in the area between the now famous battlefield landmark of Devil's Den and its parking lot, and Big Round Top. This area is often referred to as 'The Slaughter Pen', which is where many of the July 2 Confederate dead were photographed. This artifact was a part of the collection of Iva Rosensteel-Rider (Born in 1887 and died in 1964), sister of George Rosensteel (founder of the Gettysburg National Museum and the famous Electric Map) so the provenance could not be better. This is the first time that this artifact is being offered for public sale and I feel very privileged in the opportunity to offer it. The Rosensteels were, of course, the most famous artifact collecting family in Gettysburg and the bulk of the relics on display at today's Gettysburg National Park Visitor Center come from the Rosensteels. A provenance letter will be provided with these relics. 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 items 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!
