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.
