AUTHENTIC INDIAN RELICS FROM THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN

AUTHENTIC INDIAN RELICS FROM THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN One lot of 3 relics consisting of an iron wire bracelet measuring approx 2-3/4″ in diameter, an iron arrowhead measuring approx 2-1/2″ long and another iron arrowhead measuring approx 2-1/8″ long. The second lot is composed of two .45-55 carbine cartridge cases, two .50-70 cartridge cases, one .44 Henry case,one .56 Spencer case, two staples and an iron ring from a McClellan saddle, one iron ring, two frame buckles, an iron tack from a McClellan saddle, a horseshoe nail, a large iron buckle frame, two .45-405 gr, and one .45-500 gr rifle bullet. These objects are alleged to have been recovered from near the Reno-Benteen defense site by the late Rex Thrower, a former resident of Columbus, MT who grew up near the battlefield. This entire lot is accompanied by a letter of authentication signed by Mr. Thrower in 1992. CONDITION: The bracelet is in heavily rusted condition as one might expect from its having been in the ground for more than a century. The surface of the smaller arrowhead exhibits rather heavy surface rust and pitting but is complete with its shank by which it was attached to the arrow shaft. The larger point is in somewhat better condition showing heavy aged patina. The remainder of the artifacts have surface corrosion and rust consistent with material that has been buried or lying on the ground surface for many years. 4-32400 DM14 (1,200-3,000)
