We will rely on our photos for most of the description on this item (we have illustrated a period US quarter for size comparison) except to refer the reader to Philip’s Excavated Artifacts from Battlefields & Campsites of the Civil War for reference to the classic type. A neat Civil War site excavation, with nice natural patina and yet still functional. A desirable, all original Civil War relic without spending a lot of money. please note: ALL ITEMS ARE CURRENT & AVAILABLE UNLESS MARKED SOLD!!
