This unique pair of excavated relics comes from Mansfield, Louisiana—site of the 1864 Battle of Mansfield during the Civil War. Included is a well-worn spoon, likely silverware brought from home or possibly taken from a nearby farm, as was common among soldiers on the move. Alongside it is what appears to be the broken end of a knife or bayonet, heavily weathered but still recognizable and full of character.
The spoon remains in solid condition and carries a sense of personal history, while the rough, corroded blade fragment makes for a compelling display piece, telling its own story of battlefield use and time in the elements. These items would make a fascinating addition to any Civil War collection or relic display.
Authentic, evocative, and straight from one of Louisiana’s key Civil War battlefields.
