Original U.S. Civil War Soldier Personal Item Lot with Bullets Recovered at Gettysburg & Bullet Mold

Original Items. One-of-a-Kind Lot. This is a really great Civil War Soldier personal item lot, consisting of several pieces that could be found in a Civil War soldier’s kit and belongings. Some items are military, and some are civilian items often used by soldiers.
