70. Lee’s Headquarters Gettysburg Enlisted “NCO” Buckle

#70  Lee’s Headquarters Gettysburg Buckle. Gettysburg battlefield relic from the famed Lee’s Headquarters Museum.

Letter of provenance from a leading Gettysburg relic dealer included with copy of the page from the museum circa 1950 inventory ledger. What really makes this nice is the original museum inventory tag, stamped “121” on both sides, which correlates to the inventory ledger. The inventory tag is the recognized type that was used to mark the relics throughout the museum.

The one-story stone dwelling on the crest of Seminary Ridge on the Chambersburg Turnpike was the site of some of the bloodiest and desperate fighting of the Battle of Gettysburg opened in 1921. Over fifty years ago I recall relic filled cases covering every wall, relics hanging from the ceiling of all types: buttons, buckles, weapons, accouterments, personal items, artillery shells/sponge/worm, and General Reynold’s saddle in the center of the main room. Over the years the relics have been sold-off. In 2015 the museum closed and is now under the care of the Gettysburg Preservation Trust.

An opportunity to acquire a desirable Gettysburg relic with strong provenance.
