Anyone else collect stuff from the War of Northern Aggression, or the Civil War as you call it up North?

I got this recently:



It's an ordnance receipt from the Waterford Arsenal to Captain Frank Leach of the 34 Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. The Regiment was formed in 1863 and fought under the mass murderer and war criminal Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign and was present when the sainted Robert E Lee gracefully and generously conceded a draw at Appomattox. The Regiment was disbanded in 1865 after the invaders returned home.

Here is a regimental combat report naming Captain Leach:

Here Captain Frank T Leach is listed in the Union Order of Battle:

If it was CSA document it would have to be pried from my cold dead hands but as it's just Yanqui trash I thought I might exchange it.

CSA relics, coins, anything interesting........ no junk offers, hustlers, low-ballers, swindlers, conmen or newbies please.

Value estimated somewhere between the two items below:

1863 Ordnance Receipt estimated value $125 - $225.

Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.

It's the "war of northern aggression against the peaceful people of the south" if we are being specific! :)
Part one my friend, part two is just around the corner.

What would you like to get for this? Would you like to swap or are you just trying to sell?

I would much rather swap it for coins, British Empire, Third Reich and Great Britain.

As outlined in the OP I would be looking for around $100, about half way between the two examples listed above.
