Description: The lead bullets were recovered from the Civil War battlefields around Fredericksburg, Virginia. They are representative of ammunition used by both sides during the Civil War. At left is a .58 Federal standard issue for Springfield rifle or other contract arms of that caliber, the other is a Confederate issue .58 Gardner made at the Richmond Arsenal in Virginia. The white patina is due to oxidation in the ground. The brass button at center was issued on southern uniforms during the War. The scene was reproduced from a photograph taken in 1861 of the 1st Texas Infantry in their winter quarters near Dumfries, Virginia. The men of the 1st Texas came from East Texas and Harris & Galveston Counties. Arriving piecemeal, all the men of the 1st Texas arrived in Richmond, VA, by June 1, 1861, and were commanded by Colonel L. T. Wigfall. The regiment was part of General Hood’s famous Texas Brigade and fought in the major engagements around Fredericksburg, Virginia. The hand made solid Poplar frame with distressed milk paint finish is 9” x 12” (glass) in size. All of the frame and display work was done in our cabinet shop here in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The frame is ready to hang. The wire is recessed which allows the frame to rest flat back to the wall as in a museum mount. The “bumpons” on each back corner protect the wall and keep the frame level. The back of the frame, which doesn’t show, has some brush strokes from the second coat of paint. 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. Please see our "About” for more information on the framing and artifacts.
