Battlefield-recovered plates, buttons, and edged weapons — every piece documented, photographed, and guaranteed authentic for life. A modern store for a serious field.
A dug relic was excavated from the ground — a campsite, winter quarters, or battlefield — as opposed to a “non-dug” attic or veteran-kept piece. Patina, soil action, and recovery location all bear on a plate’s value and story. Backmarks identify the maker; under-hooks and fasteners help date a buckle to early-, mid-, or late-war.
Every item is unconditionally guaranteed genuine for the life of the original purchase.
Encrypted card payment via Stripe & PayPal — or call, mail a check, or arrange layaway.
Recovery locations, references, and prior-collection notes recorded where known.
Carefully packed and insured. International inquiries welcome on eligible items.
Tell us what you hunt and we’ll email you the moment a matching piece is listed — free, straight from the shop.
Dixie Relics supplies collectors, museums, and historians with documented Civil War relics and military antiques. We research, photograph, and stand behind every piece we sell.
Every artifact is unconditionally guaranteed authentic for the life of the original purchase. If a piece is ever shown to be other than represented, return it for a full refund — no time limit.
Where known, we record the recovery location, the maker’s backmark, period references, and any prior-collection history. Authenticity claims pass an internal review before they’re published — unverified claims are labeled as such.
