Description: Original 1861 hand signed “One Dollar” note issued by “The Bank of the Commonwealth” in Richmond, Virginia. It has a plain back. The lead bullet at center is a .58 Federal issue for the standard Springfield rifle or other contract arms of that caliber. The other fired .58 bullets could have been used by either side. The Richmond Arsenal in Virginia was the only one to make the two ring Gardner bullet, the rest of the southern armories made the three ring bullet. After a bullet has been fired it’s hard to see the differences in manufacturing designs. They all used a paper cartridge; the white patina is due to the lead oxidizing in the ground. The relics were all recovered from the Fredericksburg Battlefield in Virginia. The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought December 11–15, 1862, in and around Fredericksburg, Virginia. The battle between the Federal “Army of the Potomac” commanded by Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside and the Confederate “Army of Northern Virginia” under General Robert E. Lee, included the Federal Army's futile frontal attacks on December 13 against entrenched Confederate defenders on Marye’s Heights behind the city. It is remembered as one of the most one-sided battles of the war, with Federal casualties more than twice as heavy as those suffered by the Confederates. They are mounted in an 8” x 12” Riker style case with glass front. The artifacts are just pressed in, we don’t glue them in. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased. The documents pictured will also come with the set. Please see our "About” on front page for more information on the framing and artifacts.
