PRESENTATION CANE OF CIVIL WAR MEDAL OF HONOR WINNER LIEUTENANT COLONEL JACOB FRICK.

PRESENTATION CANE OF CIVIL WAR MEDAL OF HONOR WINNER LIEUTENANT COLONEL JACOB FRICK. This wonderful relic is one of the most important artifacts from the Battle of Fredericksburg and the Union Army’s ill-fated charge up Marye’s Heights against the Army of Northern Virginia. This remarkable cane was fashioned from the flag staff shot from Lt. Col. Frick’s hands while leading his regiment against the Confederate forces positioned on Marye’s Heights, Fredericksburg, VA, December 13, 1862. This cane has never had ownership outside of direct descendants of Lt. Col. Frick and has never before been offered for sale, having recently been discovered along with his sword in home of descendants. The 3-1/4” silver cane top has is wonderfully hand engraved with a presentation which reads “To Col. J. G. Frick, 129th Regt. Pa. Vols. Part of flag staff shot off in his hands while leading his regiment in the final charge on the Rebel Works at the Battle of Fredericksburg, Va. Dec. 13th 1862”. As noted in the description of the sword before, Lt. Col. Frick’s regimental color bearer was shot down while advancing on Marye’s Heights. Frick personally recovered the colors, subsequently having the flag staff shot from his hands and the colors draped upon his shoulder. In this state, struggling to keep the colors aloft, he continued his advance on the stone wall. In this futile attempt, Frick lost 148 of his men, and he was also wounded by shell fragments. This may be the most historic cane we have ever offered and represents one of the most important relics from the Fredericksburg campaign CONDITION: Overall cane is in very good condition. Tip shows little wear. Cane body retains much of its orig lacquer. Decorated silver tip has several small dents, scattered scratches and is loose. 4-32913 JS226 (3,000-5,000)
