  Extremely
rare, second Model, Kenansville, NC,
(Confederate States Armory) CS cavalry
saber. This is the saber only and is
out of a Central North Carolina estate.
The blade has a gently darkening gray/brown
patina and is literally one of the heaviest
Kenansville blades that I remember seeing.
The grip is worn to polished wood, and the
brass guard and pommel cap have an aged,
near bronze/brown never cleaned patina.
The high copper content brass guard has the
Roman Numeral VII cut into it. This
saber has been in the Ann and C.W. Webb
private museum in Lowell, Arkansas, for the
past 30 - 40 years. This artifact
would be a fine addition to any Confederate
cavalry display or CS collection
(CW).--$2,950.

    Beautiful
condition hand blacksmith crafted
Confederate short sword/side knife.
The knife measures 24 inches tip to tip, and
was masterfully created from an import Model
1860 light cavalry saber. This short
sword/side knife was captured at Fort
Powhatan, Virginia - and has the capture
information BEAUTIFULLY cut into all 4 sides
of the polished cherry hand-grip. It
was taken home as a Federal "War Trophy" and
rightfully so - as it is BEAUTIFUL
!!!--$975.SOLD
-
    This
Confederate Boyle & Gamble Field and Staff
Officer's sword is out of an Arkansas
estate. The Boyle & Gamble is
untouched with an attic bronze/brown patina
throughout. The scabbard remains in nice
condition and came out of the original
family with the sword, but the scabbard is
not Boyle & Gamble production. The sword
does appear to have been carried in the
scabbard though. This is one of
the most popular Confederate manufactured
Officer swords around. Although the
blade has a smooth, aging patina, original
Confederate engraving can be seen in some
areas through the patina. This would
be an excellent addition to any Confederate
collection or display.--$6,850.SOLD
-
  Very
nice condition, Model 1840 import, Heavy
Cavalry saber. These sabers were
affectionately known as "The Old
Wristbreaker" because of their weight.
The South was able to trade cotton to
several European countries for the somewhat
outdated Heavy Cavalry sabers.
Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest
carried one of these early in the Civil War
as did many in his command. This
example has a clean blade, gently darkening
with age, original leather on the grip, and
in its original metal scabbard. This
is a very nice example that would be right
at home in most any museum.--$895.SOLD
-
  Beautiful
condition, blacksmith hand-crafted, 13 inch
Confederate dagger in original pigskin
sheath. The dagger itself has a rich,
aged patina overall with a brass cross guard
and walnut grip. The sheath is
beautifully constructed with brown pigskin
over tin. They just don't get much
prettier than this one.--$950.SOLD
-
 Massive
20 inch hand blacksmith crafted Confederate
"S-Guard" bowie with its original
Confederate leather sheath. This
massive bowie appears to be crafted from a
buggy spring, or a huge rasp. The
brass "Eaglehead" is from an 1820s era
Militia Officer's sword, and the brass
"S-Guard" looks to likely have come from the
same early Militia sword as the eagle pommel
cap. The grip is very nicely finished
and detailed bone. The leather sheath
is 100 % original Confederate hand crafted,
and although fragile, remains intact and
with the bowie. We have had a museum
grade walnut display case custom made to
display the knife. This is a fine hand
blacksmith crafted Confederate blade, and a
better example than most museums have.
It is out of a North Georgia
estate.--$1,295.SOLD
-
  Just
brought in today, fresh out of a Murray
County estate, this is an untouched, second
model, Confederate manufactured Kenansville
Cavalry saber. This is the saber only
without scabbard. The blade has a
smooth, unpitted, brown/gray patina, and the
brass guard and distinctive style pommel cap
remain in perfect condition. The grip
is worn to polished wood, much like a
staircase railing. The brass guard has
the Roman Numeral "XLV" which is a classic
trait of Kenansville sabers. This is
an untouched saber from a rare Confederate
maker that would be a fine addition to any
Confederate Cavalry display.--$2,150.SOLD
-
  Very
pretty condition, Confederate made, Roman
style short artillery sword. This
sword is out of a North Georgia estate and
is known to be the product of Confederate
manufacturer E. J. Johnson. The blade
has a smooth, brown/gray, aged patina with
several blade to blade nicks and with
virtually no pitting at all. The high
copper content Confederate bronze guard has
a beautiful, rich, aged, uncleaned patina.
This sword will make an excellent addition
to even an advanced Confederate
display.--$1,895.SOLD
-
  Just
brought in by a local family, and is 100%
untouched. This is a very nice
hand-me-down Confederate local made "CS DOG
RIVER" Cavalry saber and scabbard. The
blade has a pretty gently greying aged
patina, and the brass guard has a thick -
never touched - brown patina. The grip
is down to the wood with only a few
fragments of the leather and single strands
of iron wire. The scabbard is a
classic lap seamed - brass mounted CS made
scabbard. This is a very nice,
straight out of the Southern estate and
untouched for the last 150 years,
Confederate manufactured, "Dog River" CS
Cavalry saber and scabbard.--$3,850.
-
      Extremely
rare, College Hill Arsenal, Confederate Foot
Officer's sword and original scabbard.
The sword has a nice, clean blade with faint
traces of original Confederate engraving.
The cast brass Foot Officer's guard remains
in perfect condition with a never-cleaned,
rich, aged, bronze patina. The leather
grip remains in nice condition as well, but
we feel it may have had the leather restored
during the 1960's era. The original
scabbard remains with the sword with no
breaks or weak spots and all brass mounts
intact. This would be a museum quality
addition to any Civil War Confederate
collection.--$7,950.
-
  Just
in out of the local area, nice condition,
Confederate manufactured, "Dog River", C.S.
Cavalry saber and scabbard. The saber
blade is just beginning to darken with age.
The Confederate "Red Brass" guard remains
perfectly intact as well as the wrap and
single-strand iron wire on the grip.
The scabbard is a classic Confederate
manufactured lap seam with brass mounts.
This saber without a doubt saw a lot of
actual field service, because the top mount
is worn almost halfway through. This
excellent Confederate manufactured saber
would be a fine addition to any Civil War
collection.--$4,250.
-
  Quite
rare, blacksmith crafted, Confederate
CARRIED Cavalry saber. This saber was
crafted using a "Dog River", unstopped
fuller, Confederate manufactured blade with
a pre-war, 1840,"Old Wristbreaker" guard and
pommel cap. The saber was carried in a
Model 1840, iron-mounted wristbreaker
scabbard. A couple of sword collecting
friends and myself were looking at the
scabbard, and we noticed that the two iron
ring mounts are soldered into place.
This is a trait sometimes associated with
the Palmetto sabers out of Columbia, South
Carolina. It is a classic example of
the extreme lengths that the South went to
to arm their Cavalry.--$1,450.SOLD
-
Excellent
condition, hand blacksmith crafted, 14 1/2
inch overall with a 9 inch blade,
Confederate sideknife. The knife has a
walnut grip with a brass ferrule and will
make a fine addition to your Confederate
weapons display.--$695.
-
   Very
attractive, "Haiman" style, Confederate
manufactured, Cavalry saber and scabbard.
The blade remains in nice condition, just
beginning to turn brown/gray with age.
The high copper content brass guard remains
in perfect condition with a rich, never
cleaned, bronze patina. The grip
retains 80% - 90% original brown leather
wrap and has fragments of the single strand
iron wire. The Confederate
manufactured, brass mounted, lap seam
scabbard remains in excellent condition
showing extensive wear with the upper ring
mount worn within 1/32 of an inch being worn
all the way through. This is a
beautiful and historic Confederate artifact
that has spent extensive time in the
saddle.--$4,250.
-
 Extremely
rare and excellent condition hand blacksmith
crafted Confederate artillery Short Sword.
The sword appears to be made from a buggy
spring or a large rasp. It has an "S"
shaped cross guard and has its original
walnut grip. This is out of a local
estate and is completely uncleaned -
untouched - and is 23 inches in overall
length. It is MANY times rarer than
a Southern hand crafted bowie knife.
Here is your chance to own a Confederate
Blade that MOST (even advanced) collections
are missing.--$1,850.
-
Very
nice condition, original, non-excavated
Confederate Pike Head with a small portion
of the original wooden shaft. It
measures 17" overall with a 9" Pike blade.
There is a law that says, "Every Confederate
blade collector must have an example of an
original Confederate Pike."--$895.
-
   Fresh
in the door, crude, blacksmith-made, 17"
Confederate Bowie Knife. The blade is
blacksmith handcrafted from a large rasp and
has many rasp teeth still remaining visible,
both on the flats of the blade and along the
upper edge. The copper ferrule around
the walnut handle and the brass washer
around the riveted tang have a 150-year-old,
never cleaned, rich bronze/brown aged
patina. This is a wicked hand-made
Confederate weapon, and still remains sharp
enough to easily cut you. It is going
to be a fine addition to someone's
Confederate blade display.--$975..
-
 Beautiful
condition Confederate Pike complete with
cuff and several inches of the original
pole. These original Confederate Pikes
were sold by Bannerman during the 1950's era
and he cut the poles into so that they were
much easier and less expensive to
ship. Every Confederate collection
should have an example of an original
Confederate Pike.--$1,150.

-
     Very
pretty, Model 1850, Federal Foot Officer's
sword that was carried by Captain Sam Estill
of the 114th Illinois Volunteer Infantry.
This is the sword only without the scabbard,
and the blade has deep, crisp engraving top
to bottom and is maker marked, "C. Roby West
Chelmsford Mass." The grip retains
original leather but is missing the twisted
wire. This sword was in possession of
Ms. Mamie Estill, Captain Sam Estill's
great-granddaughter. The 114th
Illinois Volunteer Infantry fought at the
Battle of Nashville and made several charges
there. Ms. Estill passed in the year
2000, and this very nice sword was purchased
directly from her estate. This is a
beautiful sword and would be a fine addition
to any Civil War collection.--$695.
-
  Beautifully
blacksmith crafted, Confederate side knife
with rare, original, hand-crafter tin
scabbard. The blade itself is 17
inches long with an "S" shaped guard and a
turned walnut grip. This is a very
nice Confederate side knife and has one of
the nicest, original tin scabbards that I
have seen in ages.--$1,150.
-
  Civil
War Era Fraternal type sword with elliptical
cross-section blade indicating Civil War Era
production. These Fraternal type
swords were made along the same lines as the
Model 1860 Federal Field & Staff Officer's
sword. The elliptical cross-section
blades (like this one has) date the Civil
War Era, and those with the diamond
cross-section date a bit later. This
would be an excellent first Civil War Era
sword for a young collector.--$125.SOLD
-
     Very
nice condition and 100% totally untouched,
Model 1860, Federal light cavalry saber.
This saber has been in a private museum for
the past 30 years and is of a condition
justifying being in a museum. The
blade has a smooth, gently aging, gray/brown
patina and is marked, "C. Roby - W.
Chelmsford Mass. - 1864 - US - A.G.M."
The brass guard has an aging, bronze patina
and has several combat marks, one of which
has caused a crack in the outside branch.
The saber retains its original leather wrap
and wire. The scabbard remains in very
nice condition with a smooth, chocolate
brown patina and has several small combat
marks and dings. The end of the
scabbard drag has lots of wear indicating
significant field service. The saber
still has the original leather "sword drop"
that attached it to the Model 1851 cavalry
sword belt rig. This would be a fine
addition to any Civil War cavalry collection
or display.--$950.
-
     Very
nice condition, Model 1841, Federal D-Guard
style Naval Cutlass. This cutlass has
a smooth, gently aging, attic gray/brown
patina on the blade and markings of "USN -
1842" and on the reverse, "W. P. Ames -
Cabotville". The massive cast brass
guard has a rich, aged, bronze patina with
the cast Eagle on the pommel. This
would be a very nice addition to any
collection.--$850.SOLD
-
    Very
attractive, Model 1840, Light Artillery
saber and scabbard. This saber has a
nice, clean blade and is marked, "1863 N.J.
- Emerson & Silver - Trenton N.J." The
saber has original wrap and has correct
replacement wire. The scabbard remains
in very nice condition but does have several
small dents from service. If your
collection is missing an artillery saber,
here is a nice example at a very fair
price.--$850.
-
     Beautiful
condition, post Civil War Era, Federal Navy
Officer's sword of the pattern of 1851.
The sword has a beautiful blade with 100%
crisp, clear engraving and a presentation to
"Tom Graham". The sharkskin grip
remains in very nice condition, and the
scabbard remains in nice condition as well.
We are unsure as to the exact era that this
sword falls, but we are confident that it is
post Civil War Era. This beautiful
presentation sword will be a fun research
project for someone.--$495.
-
    Model
1860, Federal Naval Cutlass with leather
scabbard. The Cutlass has an aging,
brown/gray patina on the blade and is dated
1862. The brass guard remains in nice
condition, and the original leather scabbard
remains with the sword but is missing the
brass button for seating into the leather
saddle. The scabbard is very solid and
sturdy but is missing the last couple of
inches. This would be a quality
addition to someone's Civil War
display.--$695.
-
 Absolutely
perfect condition, original "ray skin" sword
scabbard blank. It has been my experience
that ray skin scabbards usually appear on
higher grade Federal Foot and Field & Staff
Officer swords. It is 30 inches
overall tip to tip. This example was
purchased from Bannermann's Island during
the 1940 - 1950 era, and it was part of an
estate that I recently purchased. I'll
bet there is someone out there with a
Federal Officer's sword that this will help
complete.--$195.
-
    Model
1840, "Ames" heavy Cavalry saber (Old
Wristbreaker) found in a Civil War Era
outbuilding located near Charleston, South
Carolina. The saber is complete but
has a very dark patina overall with some
pitting to the scabbard due to exposure to
the elements for the last 150 years.
When found, the grip was decayed down to
wood and has had the leather nicely restored
for better display. The blade is
marked, "Ames Mfg Co - Chicopee Mass - 1855
- US - JB". This is a quite rare saber
that could be displayed equally well with an
excavated or non-excavated
collection.--$850.
-
   Very
intricately made, 1830 - 1840 era
Presentation Dirk. The Dirk has a
faintly engraved Presentation to Joseph
Kimmery down the silver scabbard. It
has ornate silver fittings, a polished horn
handle, and a silver scabbard. This is
a well manufactured, high grade, pre-Civil
War Dirk.--$795.HOLD
-
     Very
attractive, Model 1850, Federal Foot
Officer's sword and original, metal
scabbard. The sword has crisp,
visible, Union engraving on the blade top to
bottom. The sword is a "Solingen"
marked import manufactured under Federal
contract. The grip has original
sharkskin and original wire. The metal
scabbard has a smooth, brown, aged patina
and a couple of normal small service dings.
The brass drag has a rich, dark, never
cleaned patina and is mounted "upside-down"
to the way it usually is. If you like
a nice, honest sword that clearly saw
service and has not been cleaned, you will
enjoy this one.--$1,150.
-
   Model
1850, Federal Field & Staff Officer's sword
in original, brass mounted metal scabbard.
The blade on this officer's sword was at
some point in time plated and has residue of
old plating remaining today. The cast
brass guard remains in nice condition with a
good bit of original gold gilt still
visible. The grip remains very nice
with original shark skin wrap and wire.
The metal scabbard remains in nice condition
as well and also has residue of old plating.
Over the years, I have discovered that a
good many Civil War guns and swords that
were plated were on display in old GAR
meeting halls and UCV meeting halls.
Their thinking apparently was, if we plate
them, we won't have to keep cleaning them.
This is a very attractive sword and scabbard
with the cut-out "US" in the guard.--$950.
-
    Model
1840, Federal, Ames "N.C.O." (Non-Commissioned Officer) sword and
scabbard. The blade is clean, just beginning to darken with
age and is marked, "1862 - US - ADK (Alias D. King) - Ames Mfg.
Co." The brass guard remains in perfect condition with a
rich, deep, bronze/brown, never cleaned patina. The leather
scabbard is complete with no breaks or repairs but has a little
surface flaking in areas. This is considered by many to be
the most desirable date N.C.O. that you can get.--$650.
-
   SUPER
RARE complete 2-disc white buff belt rig for the Model 1832
Roman Style Federal Heavy Artillery Short Sword. It you
have a nice Model 1832 U.S. Heavy Artillery Short Sword in
scabbard - Here is all you need to have a Museum Level
Display. The belt is complete tip to tip, and the two
disc buckle is PERFECT.--$1,250.
-
   Recent
find in the attic of a Civil War Era Middle
Tennessee home, original Model 1860, Light
Cavalry saber. The blade has a smooth,
chocolate brown patina that literally has
never been cleaned since the Civil War.
The brass guard has a rich, aged patina as
well and the peculiarity of having one
branch intentionally and perfectly removed
for some reason, making this saber a
two-branch guard Cavalry saber. The
original leather grip remains approximately
90% intact. This would make a
fantastic first Civil War saber for a young
collector.--only $350.
-
    Very
pretty untouched Model 1860 AMES Light
Cavalry saber and scabbard. This saber
was purchased many years ago from a
Pennsylvania estate sale not too many miles
from Gettysburg. The blade has a
smooth grey-brown patina gently darkening
with age. The blade is marked "Ames
Mfg. Co. - Chicopee, Mass. - 1863 - U.S.".
The brass guard remains in very nice
condition, and the saber has nice original
wrap and wire on the grip. The
original metal scabbard remains in very nice
condition with a smooth - never cleaned -
chocolate patina. This saber is felt
by many to be the most representative saber
of the American Civil War.--$950.
-
       Very
attractive, Model 1850, Federal Field &
Staff Officer's sword and original leather
scabbard. The blade has darkened with
age, but you can still clearly see the full
engraving on both sides of the blade.
The blade is marked, "Iron Proof" on the top
which indicates that it is a German contract
and imported. The cast-brass guard has
the classic staff cut out "US" and a
beautiful, rich, never cleaned, bronze/brown
patina overall. The grip retains full
Ray Skin wrap and three strand wire.
The sword remains in its original leather
scabbard, but the brass top mount and the
brass drag have been lost somewhere over the
last 150 years. This Field and Staff
Officer's sword shows clear evidence of
actual use and will be a very nice addition
to someone's Civil War collection.--$895.
-
    Very
sought after, Model 1840, "Ames" Old
Wristbreaker Heavy Cavalry saber and
scabbard. The blade has a smooth,
brown/gray patina just beginning to darken
with age. The blade is marked, "Ames
Mfg Co - Chicopee Mass - 1856", and on the
reverse, "US - ADK". Ames Heavy
Cavalry sabers were extensively used by both
Union and Confederate Cavalry forces during
the Civil War. On this saber, the
outside branch of the guard is bent forward
indicating that at some point the horse went
down on top of it. This is an
excellent artifact with clear proof that it
"saw the elephant".--$975.SOLD
-
    Fresh
out of a Florida estate sale, Federal Model
1840, N.C.O. (Non-commissioned Officer)
sword in original scabbard. The sword

Co. - 1864 - US". The brass guard
remains in excellent condition with some
aged, bronze/brown patina remaining in
recessed areas. The leather scabbard
remains complete with the brass top mount
intact, but the brass drag has dropped off
somewhere along the way. These are
fairly easy to locate for
replacement.--$495.

attractive condition, Model 1840, Ames
production, N.C.O. (Non-commissioned
officer) sword and original leather
scabbard. The sword has blade markings
of "Ames Mfg. Co. - U.S. - 1862". The
original brass guard remains in excellent
condition just beginning to tone with age.
The leather scabbard is complete with brass
throat and drag intact. There is a
little black tape around the scabbard where
the brass drag meets helping to support the
weak area where the brass drag attaches to
the leather scabbard. Both the sword
and scabbard remain in overall nice
condition.--$595.
-
   Model
1860, Light Cavalry saber (saber only
without scabbard). This saber has a
clean blade, just beginning to turn
brown/gray with age. It is marked, "C.
Roby, Chelmsford Mass - 1865 - US."
The grip is worn to polished wood, and the
brass guard remains in nice condition,

to have been broken off by an impact -
likely a projectile. This saber will
almost certainly be a topic of conversation
in any collection.--$550.SOLD

that clearly saw LOTS of actual Civil War
field service.--$975..

to darken in areas with age and retains
original blade engraving almost full length
on both sides of the blade. The sword

beautiful, near chocolate aged patina and
original sharkskin on the grip. This
would be a fantastic first Civil War sword
for a young or new Civil War
collector.--SOLD

  Model
1860, Federal Navy Cutlass. The blade
on this sword is actually an early excavated
artifact. The digger was able to
locate an original 1860, Navy guard and
brass pommel cap. He reassembled the

when issued. This artifact could
easily be a great centerpiece for an
excavated relic collection.--$295.

engraving from top to bottom. The
guard has a rich never cleaned thick bronze
- brown patina, and the grip has the
original sharkskin weap and wire. The

engraving and is marked "Philadelphia" and
would have been also marked "Horstmann" -

removed. The leather scabbard is
exceptionally nice with "coiled rope" ring
mounts and a Dolphin drag. What a
fantastic gift this would be for that
Naval person in your family.--$1,250.

ornate non-regulation Model 1850 Federal Field and Staff Officer's sword

engraving remains. The guard is iron and quite ornate with the "cut-out
eagle and U.S. and E. Pluribus Unum". The original leather grip remains
intact in some areas and is worn through to polished wood in other areas.
The scabbard has a thick brown aged patina and several small dents from
use. A nice honest example that has clearly "seen the elephant".--$795.
Bayonets
-
Excavated,
.577 cal., Enfield triangular socket bayonet. This bayonet
was recovered many years ago along the Confederate line on private
property here at Stones River. The bayonet is just as
recovered and still has mud packed inside the socket. Many
years ago, I would recover a bayonet every three or four relic
hunts. But, at this point in time, it is an extreme rarity
to recover a complete CS used bayonet.--$150.

Nice
condition, battlefield pick-up, .577 cal., Enfield triangular
socket bayonet. This bayonet was purchased out of an estate
near the Battle of Olustee, Florida. It has a smooth, thick,
chocolate brown patina typical of artifacts that were exposed to
the elements for a few years. This bayonet is complete tip
to tip with the lock ring remaining intact. It will make an
excellent addition to someone's collection.--$150.SOLD
-
.58
cal., triangular, socket bayonet correct to fit the Model 1855,
all Springfield and contract rifled muskets Model 1861, and Model
1863 type 1 & 2 muskets. The bayonet was an early
battlefield pick-up here at Stones River and has a smooth,
chocolate brown patina overall.--$150.
-
Nice
condition excavated .58 cal. Springfield trianglar socket bayonet.
This bayonet was recovered over 40 years ago on private property
here at Stones River. It is rusty, of course, but has been
nicely cleaned, and is ready for display. It is complete to
the very tip, and even has the lock ring still intact. These
days - it is a real rarity to recover one of these, and they are
almost never in this nice condition.--$150.
-
Nice
condition, early battlefield pick-up, .69 cal., Model 1816,
triangular, friction fit, socket bayonet. This was a
battlefield pick-up from here at Stones River picked up just a few
years after the battle. Rusty as found, but remains very
stable. This type bayonet was extensively used here at
Stones River by Confederate Infantry.--$125.
-
   Very
pretty condition Enfield saber bayonet and scabbard that fits the
2-band, Civil War Enfield rifle. This bayonet has a bright,
clean blade just beginning to darken with age in a few areas.
The checkered pattern, pressed leather grips remain in absolutely
perfect, excellent condition. The leather scabbard is
complete with no breaks, repairs, or weak spots. This saber
bayonet is very nice quality and would be a fine addition to any
Confederate display.--$350.
-
   Uncommonly
nice condition saber bayonet in its original leather sheath,
correct for the Remington Zouave rifle. The blade remains
sparkling bright without even one hint of rust or darkening.
The heavy cast brass guard remains perfect as well and has a nice,
untouched, bronze patina. The original leather scabbard is
complete and in nice condition, but the stitched seam has opened
up in areas. This would be an excellent compliment to
display with your Remington Zouave rifle.--$395.
-
    "1861"
date brass handle saber bayonet and scabbard (the leather scabbard
is broken at two places) but is all there and displays nicely, and
is correct for the Remington Zouave rifled musket. The blade
has an attractive - gently aging grey-brown patina, and is marked
"1861 - Collins and Co. - Hartford, Conn." The bayonet and
scabbard displays very nicely just as it is, or the leather
scabbard could definitely be restored. Here is a GREAT buy
on a saber bayonet that you very seldom see.--$325.
-
 Very
nice condition, .69 cal., triangular socket bayonet originally
issued with .69 cal., Model 1816 muskets that were converted to
percussion using the Maynard priming system by Remington.
The bayonet will also fit .69 cal., Model 1842 muskets, and I have
gotten in directly from families, Model 1842 hand-me-down muskets
with this bayonet on the musket.--$195.
-
 Early
battlefield pick-up look, .577 cal., Enfield, rifled musket,
triangular socket bayonet. The bayonet is missing the lock
ring, but is otherwise full length and complete.--$150.
-
 .58
cal., triangular socket bayonet, correct for .58 cal. Springfield
or contract 3-band rifled muskets. The metal is smooth, just
beginning to darken with age. It was apparently a private
purchase, because there are no US marks.--$195.
-
 Very
nice condition, non-excavated, 4-side, "Austrian" socket bayonet.
These were extensively Southern used, and all that I have
recovered over the years were from Confederate occupied
sites.--$195.
