I collect civil war relics, mostly metal detecting, but have several confederate bills. Main thing to look for is rough edges and since the notes were hand signed, you can tell the difference in sig and print. In your SS's the confederate bills appear to be reproductions, as the signatures look printed, not rusted faded ink.

My GG Grandfather served with Lee as well with the 22nd NC. He didn't have as long of a walk home. He was a captain, his uniform, writing desk, sword, guns, etc..remained in our old homeplace as it passed from generation down. Funny, I use to take his sword out of the closet and play with it as a kid. Most of it got split up among family, I got the writing desk, still some papers in it. Been trying to get the sword from my uncle. |
I(actually another family member) have the history on record already I just do not have every detail committed to memory.
The CSA tens are likely reproductions made in the late 19th or early 20th century because the person they came form so to speak has been dead since the 1940's they are probably reproductions that someone purchased during as part Civil War Veterans organization they used to make lots of reproduction items like those back then.Now of course you tons of much more modern fakes trying pass for the real thing.
