This cover features a pictorial machine cancel serving as both the cachet and cancellation, printed in blue-gray ink within a rectangular frame. The artwork depicts Civil War soldiers in battle, crouching behind a log barricade while one figure holds a flag aloft, commemorating the 7th Annual Battle of Bulltown Station reenactment. The text within the cancel reads '7TH ANNUAL BATTLE OF BULLTOWN STATION' and 'October 13, 1863'. The stamp used is a 29-cent US flag over Mount Rushmore definitive issue.

This First Day Cover from July 11, 1992, commemorates the 7th Annual Battle of Bulltown Station reenactment, honoring the Civil War battle of October 13, 1863. The cachet artwork depicts Civil War soldiers in battle, crouching behind a log barricade with a flag aloft, rendered in blue-gray ink. The postmark is a pictorial cancellation featuring the same battle scene, centered over the stamp. The cover bears a 29-cent Flag over Mount Rushmore definitive stamp (Scott #2523) and is in good condition.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
