$ 10.55

Availability: 58 in stock
  • Original/Reproduction: Original
  • Theme: Militaria
  • Condition: A small 15mm Brass Cuff Button with unreadable backmark and textured surface and broken missing shank, that was recovered many years ago on South Mountain Farm which sits on the Cashtown Pike about one mile east of Cashtown. This area apparently saw heavy activity from the Confederates as they approached Gettysburg. It was relic hunted for many years and produced numerous Confederate plates and buttons. This comes from a relic hunter who was among the first (if not the first) to hunt there. The farm is protected now, so no more relic hunting can occur.. A very interesting looking piece with great provenance!

    that was recovered many years ago on South Mountain Farm which sits on the Cashtown Pike about one mile east of Cashtown. This area apparently saw heavy activity from the Confederates as they approached Gettysburg. It was relic hunted for many years and produced numerous Confederate plates and buttons. This comes from a relic hunter who was among the first (if not the first) to hunt there. The farm is protected now, so no more relic hunting can occur. The second photo shows an image we took of the Farm at the beginning of the Summer.
    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. Some land on Battlefields that are now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, were 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!
