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!

Numbered and Signed John Paul Strain Print "Snow Moon: Forrest Escapes Fort Donelson, February 17, 1862": Number 165 of 950, a beautifully and professionally framed and matted print by renowned artist John Paul Strain. Certificate of Authenticity included, from Gettysburg Military Publishing. This photo does not do this justice. We suggest you visit www.johnpaulstrain.com to see this print in all its beauty. The glare from the glass will not let us get a better photo, but believe us: this is a mint condition item, in a beautiful high dollar frame. Size is 31 1/4" x 23 1/2' Framed, image is 26 3/4" x 19 1/2". Insurance will be required to ship this.
