Gettysburg Excavated Alabama Volunteer Corps AVC Belt Plate

This rare AVC plate was dug in 1996 on the Lohr Farm outside of Gettysburg and is purported to be the only AVC plate found at the Battle of Gettysburg. The Lohr farm was used as a hospital site by the CS Army. By July 1863 most AVC items had either been lost or replaced with CS Army replacement items.

Here is the rarest Civil War item I have ever owned
Here is the Civil War era pipe belonging to Dr. John R Woods who was the Assistant Surgeon of the 48th Mississippi Infantry. He had a very interesting history.
John Randolph Wood left the University of Virginia to volunteer in the Confederate Army - first, as a private. After receiving his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Medical College of Virginia where he graduated in the class of 1863.
In Febuary 1864 he was promoted to Asst Surgeon
and assigned to the 48th Mississippi Infantry which was part of Gen Lee's Army Of Northern Virginia. He was furloughed a couple of times for chronic diarrhea and received a certificate of disability from Medical Examining Board at Chimborazo Hospital Aug 1 or 3, 1864. But he was surrendered and paroled at General Hospital No. 12, Greensboro, NC on May 2, 1865.
This hand carved pipe is truly a RARE relic
and is in excellent condition. The front has the caduceus and one side reads Dr. J R Woods 48th Miss. The other has the CSA with the bottom having a floral pattern. The stem is missing and pipe shows heavy use.
