Civil War Era Dirk Dagger Display – Attributed Gettysburg Culp’s Hill Battlefield Find

Interesting framed display featuring a Civil War-era dirk dagger mounted alongside period battlefield photographs and a brass plaque reading:

“Dirk Dagger Found After Battle Near Culp’s Hill – Gettysburg July 1863”

The dagger displays a classic mid-19th century dirk or fighting knife form with turned handle and metal fittings. The blade exhibits significant age and oxidation consistent with long-term exposure and possible ground recovery. The presentation makes for an impressive Civil War display piece.

Included in the display:

• Civil War-era dirk dagger
• Framed shadowbox presentation
• Brass identification plaque
• Gettysburg battlefield photographs
• Ready-to-display wall presentation

Historical Note:
Culp’s Hill was one of the key Union defensive positions during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 and saw intense fighting on July 2nd and 3rd.

Important Provenance Disclaimer:
The only provenance accompanying this piece is the plaque and display itself. No independent documentation, excavation records, letters, or battlefield recovery paperwork are included. The Gettysburg/Culp’s Hill attribution should therefore be considered an historical attribution rather than documented provenance.

Condition:
Good display condition. The dagger shows heavy age, oxidation, and surface wear. Frame presents well with minor handling wear. Photos and plaque remain intact.
