    Description

    We are working as partners in conjunction with Gettysburg Relics to offer some very nice American Civil War relics for sale.
    THE BATTLE OF WHITE OAK SWAMP (FRAYSER'S FARM/ GLENDALE) - SEVEN DAYS BATTLES - Relic condition brass knapsack strap stud or sword/saber belt stud (this size - about 5/8" by 5/8" was used on both pieces of equipment)
    A very nice Relic condition brass knapsack strap stud or sword/saber belt stud (this size - 5/8" by 5/8" was used on both pieces of equipment) that was recovered at White Oak Swamp - Frayser's Farm - Glendale, Virginia by William Reger of Berks County PA. This  artifact was in a large Pennsylvania collection of carefully identified relics that were recovered in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The fighting at White Oak Swamp was really connected to the larger battle known as Glendale or Frayser's Farm. The Battle of Glendale took place on June 30th, 1862 - the sixth day of the famous Seven Days Battles. Although it is not as well known as Malvern Hill or Gaines' Mill, the battle was intense, involving over 80,000 troops and almost 7500 combined casualties. We will include a letter containing the specific provenance information.
