  1. Very attractive, Model 1840, heavy Cavalry saber and scabbard.  These are often referred to as "The Old Wristbreaker" because of how heavy they were.  This example is out of the local area and was almost certainly Confederate carried.  The blade remains clean with no rusting and has some residue of having been lightly plated at some point.  Most of the plating is worn away.  The blade is marked with the "Rooster" which is one of the German maker hallmarks.  The cast brass guard remains in very nice condition and has a rich, aged, brown patina.  The original leather grip had deteriorated away, and the grip has been professionally restored.  The scabbard remains intact with a thick, brown, never-cleaned, aged patina.  The Model 1840 heavy Cavalry saber was a favorite among Forrest's Confederate Cavalry, and Forrest himself carried one at one time.  I have a portrait of General N. B. Forrest and a saber identical to this one hanging underneath it on my own mantle.--$750.

  2. Extremely rare, non-excavated, Boyle and Gamble, Confederate manufactured, short artillery sword.  The blade has a smooth, uncleaned, gray/brown patina, and the massive flat side, cast bronze guard and grip remain perfectly intact.  There does appear to be two or three blade-to-blade nicks.  It is very rare to find one of these in nice condition for sale anymore.--$2,250.

  3. 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.

  4. Very attractive Civil War era French Artillery Short Sword in original leather scabbard, and with original leather frog, and waist belt.  The South traded cotton to several European countries for guns and swords.  It was this Model French sword that Confederate sword maker - "E. J. Johnson" patterned his Confederate made Short Swords.  This artillery rig is out of a Southern estate, and would be a museum quality addition to someone's Confederate display.--$595. complete-SOLD

  5. Exceptionally nice condition, Model 1840, "Old Wristbreaker" Heavy Cavalry saber and scabbard.  This saber is out of a Central Florida estate and very well could have been Confederate carried.  The blade remains bright and clean with absolutely no pitting at all and is marked, "P.S. Justice - Philada".  The 3-branch brass guard remains in excellent condition with original wrap and wire on the grip.  The original metal scabbard has a smooth, aged, brown patina and is without a single dent.  This is a museum grade Justice Heavy Cavalry saber.--$975.SOLD

  6. Really nice, complete Confederate carried Cavalry rig out of a local Middle Tennessee family.  This rig includes a Model 1851 Eagle sword belt rig complete with both leather drops.  On the sword belt rig is a nice condition, leather revolver ammunition box and a Confederate manufactured leather holster containing a .32 cal., Model 1849, Colt Pocket revolver.  The revolver is serial number 116651 which is very desirable 1858 production (very typical of the pre-war Colt revolvers that we often find with Confederate carried rigs).  Also with this rig is a Model 1860 "import", Light Cavalry saber and scabbard.  This is a very typical saber that the South traded cotton to several different European countries for.  This is a nice, honest, complete Confederate Cavalryman's rig consisting of belt rig, buckle, saber and scabbard, revolver with holster, and cartridge box, and would be a museum quality addition to any Confederate collection.--$3,850. For the entire belt rig, revolver, holster, cart. box, and saber.SOLD

  7. Extremely RARE 2nd Model Kenansville, NC Confederate Manufacture Cavalry saber and scabbard.  This is out of a local estate, and without question saw lots of actual field service.  The blade has a smooth brown/grey patina  with typical unstopped fuller.  The Southern high copper content brass guard remains in excellent condition with a rich - never cleaned bronze brown patina.  The Confederate cavalryman's initials "W. M." are nicely carved with a pin-knife into the back face of the saber's guard.  The leather grip on the saber was down to wood and has been beautifully, and professionally restored.  The saber remains in its original scabbard, but the scabbard was damaged below the second ring.  The scabbard also has been restored and displays beautifully now.  Here is a really cool Confederate Kenansville Cavalry saber with the soldier's initials at a price less than you often see a standard Confederate Dog River cavalry saber.--$3,950. (Not a typo. - REALLY -- $3,950.)

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. Extremely rare and in very nice condition, Confederate manufactured, Boyle & Gamble - Richmond, VA, CS Foot Officer's sword and leather scabbard.  The blade remains clean with light visible, Confederate engraving in areas.  The distinct "Boyle & Gamble" blade fault remains clearly visible.  The original, leather grip remains completely intact as well as original wrap and single strand brass wire.  The Boyle & Gamble cast brass guard remains in beautiful condition with a rich, aged, bronze/brown patina and has never been cleaned.  The original, Confederate leather scabbard remains completely intact with the original, middle mount and drag intact.  The top, brass scabbard mount was missing, having been lost somewhere along the way.  This rare sword came out of a Northern estate where it was taken home as a war trophy.  I have been able to locate an original, Civil War top mount, and it displays beautifully.  Although original, the top mount is not a Boyle & Gamble product.  This is a much nicer example of this rare, Confederate manufactured Officer's sword than most you usually encounter.--$4,850.

  13. 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.

  14. Extremely rare, non-excavated, 17 inch, Confederate fighting knife made from an extremely scarce Cook & Brother saber type bayonet.  This fighting knife is finely crafted and is referred to by exact serial number "159" on page 299 of the reference book, Confederate and Southern Agent Marked Shotguns by Russ Pritchard and John Ashworth.  There is thought to be less than ten Confederate side knives made from Cook & Brother saber bayonets in existence.  I am including a copy of the reference book along with this rare Confederate fighting knife.--$1,950.SOLD

  15. 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.

  16. Excellent condition, excavated, solid silver, side knife scabbard tip.  This was recovered from the 1863 camp of the 16th Alabama Infantry.--$65.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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..

  20. pike.jpg (44751 bytes)pikedesc.jpg (52672 bytes)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.

Union

  1. 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.--$950.

  2. 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.

  3. Very attractive, Federal Model 1850 Field and Staff Officer's sword and scabbard.  This is a presentation grade officer's sword and scabbard with the shield provided for the presentation but was never filled out.  The sword and scabbard remain in nice condition, and we believe it had been in an old GAR Veterans Hall display for a number of years.  Both the sword and the scabbard have been nickel plated as was often done so that frequent cleaning was not needed.  Much of the plating is worn through to the original surface, but nickel plating residue does remain in some areas.  The scabbard has ornately engraved mounts, and the sword grip has original shark skin and wire intact.  This would be a reasonably pricy officer's sword and scabbard, but due to the plating residue, we are pricing at a substantially reduced price.--$975.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Very nice condition, Model 1832, Roman style, Federal Artillery short sword, complete in original black leather scabbard.  The sword has a clean blade marked, "N. P. Ames - Cabotville - 1847".  On the reverse is, "US - SK".  The leather scabbard is one of the nicest that I have seen in ages with smooth, uncleaned, brass throat and drag, and the leather scabbard body remains complete with no flaking, breaks, or weak spots.--$1,250. for the sword and scabbard alone.  We also have the correct, white buff, double circular disc, Model 1832, short sword belt rig (pictured below) complete with the cradle for the sword.  The belt is faintly "Dingee" maker marked.  This is an extremely rare complete belt rig to find.--$1,250. for belt rig only.  If you would like both the Artillery sword and the belt rig,--$2,450. for both.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Quite rare to find, American made, "P.S. Justice - Philadelphia", Model 1840 heavy Cavalry saber.  This is the saber only without scabbard.  The blade is clean, just beginning to darken with age and has a crisp P.S. Justice - Philadelphia's maker mark.  The cast-brass guard has a rich, aged, near chocolate patina, and the saber has original wrap and wire remaining intact on the grip.--$595.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. Very pretty Model 1850 Federal Field and Staff Officer's Sword and Scabbard.  The blade is clean and has beautiful deep, and sharp engraving on both sides from top to botton.  The blade is crisply marked "PDL" which means that this sword and scabbard was made in Germany for an American market, and contract.  The ornate cast brass guard remains in excellent condition with the "cut-out U.S." and a rich aged, never cleaned patina.  The original ray-skin covered grip, and wire remains intact as well.  The original brass mounted metal scabbard is still with the sword, and remains in very nice condition with a rich, aged patina.  The scabbard shows nice wear, and only a couple small dings from actual service.--$975.

  13. 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.

  14. Absolutely beautiful condition, Model 1850, "Ames" Foot Officer's sword in original Ames marked leather scabbard.  The grip has original sharkskin and wire intact, and the brass guard has near 100% original gold gilt.  The blade remains in excellent condition with full engraving from top to bottom and is marked, "Ames Mfg. Co. - Chicopee Mass".  The scabbard is complete top to bottom with no breaks or weak spots, and all three mounts have lots of gold gilt remaining.  The top mount is nicely marked, "Ames Mfg. Co. - Chicopee Mass".  This sword is nice enough for any museum and would be a fine addition to any collection.--$1,850.SOLD

  15. Fresh out of a Florida estate sale, Federal Model 1840, N.C.O. (Non-commissioned Officer) sword in original scabbard.  The sword has a bright, clean blade marked, "Ames Mfg. 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.

  16. Very 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.

  17. 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, except for the outside branch which appears 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.

  18. Very nice condition, Model 1850, Federal Foot Officer's sword in original leather scabbard.  The blade remains clean and bright, just beginning to darken with age in areas.  The blade is marked, "Clauberg - Solingen and Iron Proof".  The engraving remains clearly visible from top to bottom of the blade.  The grip retains original shark skin, and the brass guard has a pleasing aged patina.  It is in its original leather scabbard that is complete with no breaks or repairs and has lots of wear in the ring mounts and on the tip of the brass drag.  This is a sword that clearly saw LOTS of actual Civil War field service.--$975..

  19. Very nice condition, Model 1840, Ames manufactured, non-commissioned officer (NCO) sword in original leather scabbard.  The blade remains bright and clean and is marked, "US - 1864 - Ames Mfg Co - Chicopee Mass".  The leather scabbard remains complete and sound with no repairs or weak spots.  This would be a quality addition to any Civil War collection.--$695.Very nice condition, Model 1840, Ames manufactured, non-commissioned officer (NCO) sword in original leather scabbard.  The blade remains bright and clean and is marked, "US - 1864 - Ames Mfg Co - Chicopee Mass".  The leather scabbard remains complete and sound with no repairs or weak spots.  This would be a quality addition to any Civil War collection.--$695.

H. Horstmann - Philadelphia."  The brass guard remains in excellent condition with a pretty, never cleaned, bronze/brown patina.  The grip has original sharkskin and wire.--$1,150.

  21. Original, full length, very soft, tanned deer skin cover for an 1840 - 1850 era, ornate Militia Officer's sword.  These are quite delicate and fragile and rarely found still full length.  This one remains full length (38 inches) and has an early gilted Eagle button closure device.--$195.

  22. Model 1840, Federal Musicians sword and original metal scabbard.  The sword has an aging, gray/brown patina on the blade and is marked "US - 1863 - Emerson and Silver - Trenton NJ".  The cast brass guard remains in excellent condition, and the original metal scabbard remains in nice condition as well with a pleasant, aging, gray/brown patina.  There are far less Emerson and Silver 1840 Musicians than the Ames we most commonly encounter.--$550.

  23. Very nice condition, Model 1860, Light Cavalry saber and scabbard.  The blade remains clean with no rust at all and just beginning to gray with age.  The blade is marked, "US - 1864 - Emerson & Silver, Trenton NJ".  The three-branch brass guard remains in nice condition with a gently aging, bronze patina.  The grip retains 100% original wrap and wire intact.  The iron scabbard has a smooth, gray/brown patina just beginning to age with time.  There is nice ring wear in the upper mount indicating actual field service.--$895.

  24. Fresh out of the attic, Model 1850, Federal Foot Officer's sword (sword only without leather scabbard).  The blade is just beginning to darken in areas with age and retains original blade engraving almost full length on both sides of the blade.  The sword retains its original brass guard with a 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.--$450.

  25. 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 sword to display as it would have originally when issued.  This artifact could easily be a great centerpiece for an excavated relic collection.--$295.

  26.

  29. Quite ornate non-regulation Model 1850 Federal Field and Staff Officer's sword and scabbard.  The blade is darkening with age, but easily visible 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

 

  1. .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.

  2. 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.

  3. Very attractive, non-excavated, standard .58 cal., triangular socket bayonet correct for any of the .58 cal. Springfield or contract muskets.  The bayonet has a nice, clear "US" mark and is just beginning to darken with age in a few areas.  It would be an excellent compliment to your .58 cal. Civil War musket.--$195.

  4. Battlefield pick-up, .69 cal., Model 1842, triangular socket bayonet found here at Stones River in the years following the battle.  Although rusty, the bayonet remains completely intact to the very tip.--$150.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. "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.

  9. 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.

  10. Nice, clean, Model 1855, .58 cal., Springfield or contract, triangular, socket bayonet.  This bayonet is correct for the Model 1855 Springfield - the Model 1861 Springfield - and the Model 1863 Springfield and contracts.  If you have one of these .58 cal. muskets, here is the bayonet to complete it.--$195.

  11. 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.

  12. .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.

  13. 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.
