When we established Premier Relics as one of the growing leading artifact dealers in the United States we wanted to bring authentic, researched, and museum grade artifacts to the general public. This ‘LOT COLLECTION’ was created on the basis of providing real and authentic relics from the past at EXTREMELY affordable prices.

When purchasing an artifact from our ‘Lot Collection’ you will receive one randomly selected artifact from the lot (group) of relics you see in the photo. The photo represents the exact quantity that is originally available as well as one of the randomly selected relics that you will receive. Meaning that one of the artifacts you purchased and receive is pictured in this exact photo.

These Revolutionary War Pistol once were dug and excavated near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. We recently acquired a very rare lot of four that were excavated within the past year.

History of Valley Forge:

Valley Forge functioned as the third of eight winter encampments for the Continental Army's main body, commanded by General George Washington, during the American Revolutionary War. In September 1777, Congress fled Philadelphia to escape the British capture of the city. After failing to retake Philadelphia, Washington led his 12,000-man army into winter quarters at Valley Forge, located approximately 18 miles (29 km) northwest of Philadelphia. They remained there for six months, from December 19, 1777 to June 19, 1778. At Valley Forge, the Continentals struggled to manage a disastrous supply crisis while retraining and reorganizing their units. About 1,700 to 2,000 soldiers died from disease, possibly exacerbated by malnutrition.
