Gift Ideas
"Flowers wilt, chocolates get eaten, but
a good case of poison ivy? Now there's a gift she'll remember you
for!"
(anonymous male relic hunter)
_______________
When it comes to special occasions, there are two truths
concerning Civil War enthusiasts:
(1) A true buff wants nothing more for Christmas, their
birthday, or Bar mitzvah, than a good Civil War Related item.
(2) It's almost impossible for a non-enthusiast to buy for a
true Civil War buff.
...until now...
Now, we at Greybird hope to break new ground by offering
suggestions on what to buy that Civil War nut...er, BUFF, for those special
occasions. Here are some items designed to please most collectors, relic
hunters, and historians...and if not? Well, they can return the item in
thirty days for full credit (minus shipping) towards what they really want.
We also offer gift certificates...everybody likes those!

Kennesaw
Line Bullet Display: "For
forty days and forty nights I've marched in driving rains..." begins the
poem that describes a Confederate soldiers fears while sitting in the
trenches near Kennesaw Mountain, awaiting the attack by the Union Army. When
it was over, two thousand or more Union and Confederate soldiers lay dead,
and thousands of ounces of lead bullets littered the grounds nearby.
This is one of those deadly missiles fired at the southerners during the
battle, displayed in a nice Riker case along with the poem. Each bullet is
different, however all are "direct hit" impact bullets. Specify US or CS
