RAREST GETTYSBURG CIVIL WAR CANNONBALL - VERY FEW EVEN EXIST - LIKELY THE ONLY AUTHENTIC ONE YOU'LL EVER SEE
This extremely rare 6 pound Confederate cannonball was part of the famous Rosensteel/Eckert collection (now the core of the National Parks Gettysburg Civil War artifacts collection) and was recovered at Plum Run on the Gettysburg Battlefield years ago. This is the only area of the Gettysburg Battlefield that t...hese very rare Confederate 6 pound cannon balls have ever been recovered.
Unfortunately I am forced to sell some of my private collection due to failing health issues of my Mother & myself. I have an extensive collection, much of which can not be sold on eBay - Colt BP Pistols, muskets etc …. for more information please message me regarding
availability.
I have lived in Gettysburg most of my 57 years alive and have had access to some of the largest private collections. I have truly been blessed. Gettysburg will always be home.
There was only one - 6 pound field gun/cannon at Gettysburg. The 6 pounder was in Latham's Battery from North Carolina, under Longstreet's Army of Northern Virginia.
