CIVIL WAR US BUCKLE WITH BELT & CARTRIDGE PLATES Lot #17049 (Sale Order 50 of 322) CIVIL WAR US BUCKLE WITH BELT & CARTRIDGE PLATES | Provenance: Collection of lifelong relic hunter, Wilbur C. Bedall. Born in 1929 and raised until about the age of 15 on Sunnyslope Orchard in Burkeville VA, Mr. Bedall’s interest in the Civil War and relics began as a young boy, with the countless Civil War lead bullets he found throughout the orchard. From childhood forward, Mr. Bedall excelled in his relic hunting abilities, continually honing his skills. Mr. Bedall’s relic hunting spanned nearly 70 years, and included discoveries on private land up and down the East Coast. Mr. Bedall was methodical and deliberate in his approach to hunting relics, in that he would spend many hours studying routes, maps, information, positions, and trajectories in and around known Civil War sites. He would then, based on his studies, he would deduce the most likely overshot areas. Once he felt reasonably confident in his assumptions, he would ask the permission of the land owner to search their property. All of Mr. Bedall’s finds originated on private land. Mr. Bedall felt documentation was of particular importance, and as such, he carefully documented each and every discovery. Mr. Bedall was very dedicated to relic hunting. For decades, he spent nearly every spare moment towards growing the collection. The Bedall Relic Collection is vast, and most likely the largest and most comprehensive personal relic collection known to exist.

Bedall. Born in 1929 and raised until about the age of 15 on Sunnyslope Orchard in Burkeville VA, Mr. Bedall’s interest in the Civil War and relics began as a young boy, with the countless Civil War lead bullets he found throughout the orchard. From childhood forward, Mr. Bedall excelled in his relic hunting abilities, continually honing his skills. Mr. Bedall’s relic hunting spanned nearly 70 years, and included discoveries on private land up and down the East Coast.

He would then, based on his studies, he would deduce the most likely overshot areas. Once he felt reasonably confident in his assumptions, he would ask the permission of the land owner to search their property. All of Mr. Bedall’s finds originated on private land. Mr. Bedall felt documentation was of particular importance, and as such, he carefully documented each and every discovery. Mr. Bedall was very dedicated to relic hunting. For decades, he spent nearly every spare moment towards growing the collection.

LOT OF 2 ANTIQUE PISTOLS Lot #17305 (Sale Order 306 of 322) LOT OF 2 ANTIQUE PISTOLS Prairie King 7 shot revolver. German double barrel percussion pistol. | Provenance: Collection of lifelong relic hunter, Wilbur C. Bedall. Born in 1929 and raised until about the age of 15 on Sunnyslope Orchard in Burkeville VA, Mr. Bedall’s interest in the Civil War and relics began as a young boy, with the countless Civil War lead bullets he found throughout the orchard. From childhood forward, Mr. Bedall excelled in his relic hunting abilities, continually honing his skills. Mr. Bedall’s relic hunting spanned nearly 70 years, and included discoveries on private land up and down the East Coast. Mr. Bedall was methodical and deliberate in his approach to hunting relics, in that he would spend many hours studying routes, maps, information, positions, and trajectories in and around known Civil War sites. He would then, based on his studies, he would deduce the most likely overshot areas. Once he felt reasonably confident in his assumptions, he would ask the permission of the land owner to search their property. All of Mr. Bedall’s finds originated on private land. Mr. Bedall felt documentation was of particular importance, and as such, he carefully documented each and every discovery. Mr. Bedall was very dedicated to relic hunting. For decades, he spent nearly every spare moment towards growing the collection. The Bedall Relic Collection is vast, and most likely the largest and most comprehensive personal relic collection known to exist.
