Battle of Gettysburg - Confederate Prisoners - Civil War Relics

Description: The lead bullets were recovered from the Civil War battlefields around Fredericksburg, Virginia. They are representative of ammunition used by both sides during the war. At left is a .58 Federal standard issue for Springfield rifle or other contract arms of that caliber, the other is a nose cast .58 Confederate issue for southern rifles of all types. The white patina is due to oxidation in the ground. The brass button at center was issued on southern uniforms during the War. The scene was reprinted from a photograph taken at Gettysburg days after the battle there in July of 1863. The photograph shows three Confederate prisoners on Seminary Ridge, on or about July 15, 1863, with the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in the background. The photograph was taken by Mathew Brady. The hand made solid Poplar frame with distressed black over gray milk paint finish is 9” x 12” (glass) in size. The matting is grey. All of the frame and display work was done in our cabinet shop here in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The frame is ready to hang. The wire is recessed which allows the frame to rest flat back to the wall as in a museum mount. The “bumpons” on each back corner protect the wall and keep the frame level. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased. Please see our "About” for more information on the framing and artifacts.
