This is a riker case with two Civil War bullets and a reproduction Confederate battle flag. The flag has been weathered and has holes in it to replicate a battle damaged flag. The two bullets, one a .577 caliber Enfield, the other a .69 caliber ball, were both recovered in middle Tennessee. The parchment style paper has been labeled "The Army of Tennessee", along with the identification of each bullet. The Army of Tennessee was the principal Confederate army operating between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River during the Civil War. It was formed on 20 November, 1862 and fought until the end of the war, when it was surrendered on 26 April, 1865. It was commanded by such notable commanders as Braxton Bragg, Joseph E. Johnston, John Bell Hood and Alexander Stewart. The Model 1842 musket, firing the .69 caliber round ball, and the Pattern 1853 British Enfield, firing the .577 Minie round, were two of the principal long arms used by the Army of Tennessee. The case measure 6 1/4" wide and 8 1/4" high. It has been provisioned on the back to hang from two nails or screws. This will make an inexpensive birthday or Christmas present for the Civil War collector in the family.
