Description
Bullet-Struck Cartridge Box Plate From Chickamauga, the old, mellow toning on the US oval and the lack of oxidation on the bullet indicate that this relic is an early battlefield pick-up. Mounted with a plaque in a custom shadowbox frame. Losses for both sides were horrific at Chickamauga on September 19th - 20th, 1863 as Braxton Bragg's Confederates pushed the Federals into Chattanooga. Struck plates such as this specimen would have likely emerged from the carnage.Auction Info
