| GA762 |
Soldiers Due 5 Handstamp with a partial strike of the Savannah, Ga “Stars” CDS Dietz Type II with the CDS in black and the “Due 5”
handstamp in RED 2 MAY (1862). Addressed to Mrs. Penelope Vaughn,
Covington, Ga. Endorsed at lower left “W. H. H. Vaughn Bartow
Artillery.” “Bartow Artillery” was the nickname of Co A 22nd Ga Heavy
Artillery. This unit served on the Georgia coast at Forts Pulaski and
McAllister. Some overall light foxing. The cover looks to be all original
but has been apparently expertly reinforced with backing for preservation as
this Savannah “Due 5” handstamp in red coupled with the Savannah “Stars”
CDS is quite scarce.
