ANOTHER RARE CIVIL WAR PASS FOR CORPORAL GEORGE BELL (TAPE REPAIR ON REVERSE)

This is a rare Union pass for a soldier to cross Civil War battle lines. Such passes are probably so rare today because of what you see here: It was folded into 8 small panels and likely in Bell's wallet and taken out and handled many times. It shows considerable handling besides just the worn creases from the folds. Somehow it survived in a family album or stack of Great, Great Grandpa's box of items he kept from when he served in the Civil War.

If this is intended for display, framed or perhaps in a protective sleeve in a notebook it is an alternative to excessive handling.

We often will make a quality copy for display or other use, carefully storing the original in an acid-free envelope. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN MARKED DOWN & IS AVAILABLE FOR ONLY $99--a fraction of what you might expect in the retail marketplace.
