Gettysburg Commemorative Buckle- 125th Anniversary, Limited Edition 1988.
Very fine details in Solid brass. The buckle measures 3 3/4" X 2 1/2".
Each buckle is numbered on the back.
These were made for the 125th Anniversary reenactment in 1988. We were set up
there, and Fall Creek West (My Parents) were selling these for someone on the
West Coast. The buckles showed up on Saturday (The Reenactment started on Wednesday).
We sold around 100 buckles at the event that weekend. Due to the late arrival,
there were quite a few left.
The Buckles state that the edition was limited to 5000, but only 250 were delivered
to the event. After the reenactment we sold them for a while and then they went
into storage for twenty years. I do not know if there were any more made than
the original 250, and I have never seen them offered anywhere else- Ever.
No one ever came to claim the buckles that we had, and so now I am selling the
few that we have available. Each comes sealed in it's original package with
the serial number from the buckle written on the back of the package as well.
This would be a handsome keepsake for any Gettysburg Reenactment collector,
