  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.
-
  Excellent
condition, Confederate manufactured,
"D-Guard" Naval Cutlass. This style
Confederate Cutlass is believed to be the
product of Selma Arsenal - Alabama.
There have been two partially formed
examples recovered from the river at the
arsenal site leading us to believe this is a
product of that arsenal. The high
copper content Confederate manufactured
brass guard remains completely intact but
does have a couple small cracks. The
blade on this Cutlass has a smooth,
chocolate patina with two or three old
blade-to-blade nicks. Selma, Alabama,
manufactured Confederate artifacts rate as
some of the rarest and most sought after of
the Confederacy.--$3,450.SOLD
-
 Extremely
rare and in very nice condition, Confederate
manufacture, short Artillery sword.
This style unmarked Confederate sword is a
product of "E. J. Johnston & Company" of
Macon, Georgia. This company provided
the Confederacy with many different types
and models of edged weapons. A few of
the weapons of this type are actually maker
marked, but far and away most are unmarked.
This example has a nice, clean blade, gently
darkening with age, and the classic
concentric ring cast brass guard that has a
rich, aged never cleaned patina. This
is a nicer example than what most museums
have.--$1,895.
-
  This
is one of the most popular of the
Confederate sword makers during the Civil
War Era. It is a "Thomas Griswold -
New Orleans" Confederate manufactured and
marked Foot Officer's sword. This was
purchased many years ago out of a New
Orleans estate sale. The blade is
clean, just beginning to darken with age and
has Thomas Griswold that you can see from
ten feet away. The sword has original
wrap and wire and an excellent cast brass,
Confederate Thomas Griswold guard. It
has never been cleaned and has a rich,
bronzed patina. This Confederate
Officer's sword is literally nice enough for
any museum.--$5,850.
-
    Extremely
rare, Leech & Rigdon, Memphis, Tennessee,
Confederate manufactured Foot Officer's
sword. This is the Confederate sword
along with a partial leather scabbard.
The blade remains clean, just beginning to
darken with age. It has the typical
Confederate unstopped fuller. The cast
brass guard is 100% Memphis Novelty Works
all the way with the distinctive Leech &
Rigdon Officer's sword motif on both top and
bottom. This is a super rare
Confederate Officer's sword, and in nearly
50 years, I could count the number of these
that I have had on my two hands.
Better not let this one get away, because it
could be many years before you see another
one.--$5,950.SOLD
-
   SUPER
COOL GETTYSBURG ARTIFACT. This is an
1840 era Militia Officer's sword that was
being Confederate carried and was picked up
at the Peach Orchard following the Battle of
Gettysburg. The sword has in ancient
gold paint on the blade "Rebel - Peach
Orchard" and was on display in a GAR Hall
for many years. For the last 50+
years, it has been in the collection of my
long time friend, Clarence Byrd. This
artifact is absolutely untouched just like
you want them to be left.--$1,850.SOLD
-
   Super
rare, Boyle - Gamble, and McAfee - Richmond,
Virginia, MARKED, Confederate Foot Officer's
sword and scabbard. This Confederate
Officer's sword and scabbard was brought
home as a war trophy by an Illinois soldier
from the Civil War. This rare
Confederate sword has original wrap - a
clean blade - and a deep, never cleaned,
bronze/brown, aged patina on the
maker-marked guard. The sword has its
original Confederate manufactured scabbard
with both ring mounts, but the drag has
dropped off somewhere over the years.
It is an extremely rare thing to find a
maker-marked Confederate sword "in-the-wild"
these days. Here is your chance to
have one of the more sought after
Confederate Virginia Officer's sword in
existence.--$7,950.SOLD
-
    Excellent
condition and one of the most sought after
of all the Ames light cavalry sabers.
This saber has a bright clean blade and is
marked, "Ames Mfg Co - US - 1859".
Ames Cavalry sabers with dates this early
were often Confederate carried. The
brass guard remains completely intact with a
rich, aged patina. The saber retains
complete original wrap and wire on the grip.
The metal scabbard has an aged, dark brown
patina and remains in excellent
condition.--$975.SOLD
-
 Beautifully
crafted, 13 inch, Confederate bone handle
side knife, blacksmith made from an 1840 era
Knight's Head Militia Officer's sword.
This knife has an 8 inch blade that remains
razor sharp yet today. This is out of
our local area and was no doubt carried by a
local Middle Tennessee Confederate.
This would be an excellent addition to any
Confederate display.--$795.
-
Extremely
rare, excavated, COMPLETE, first model, cast
brass guard for a Kenansville/Confederate
States Armory Cavalry saber. This
guard was recovered about 40 years ago from
a Confederate Cavalry camp in North Carolina
not very far from the Kenansville factory
site.--$450.
-
Extremely
rare to recover, excavated, top brass throat
plate to a Confederate Dog River saber
scabbard. It remains in excellent
condition and could no doubt be cleaned up
to go back on a Confederate scabbard.
I am certain that there are tons of
collectors out there with Dog River sabers
and scabbards missing this piece.--$65.SOLD
-
    Just
in out of the local area and highly likely
Confederate carried, Model 1840, Heavy
Cavalry saber and scabbard, AKA "Old
Wristbreaker". This saber remains in
excellent condition with a nice, clean blade
marked, "Horstmann - Phila". The grip
is 100% original and remains in perfect
condition. The metal scabbard remains
in excellent condition as well and has been
with the saber since the Civil War Era but
may be in actuality a James Conning -
Mobile, Alabama, scabbard in that the throat
and mounts are leaded into place. This
is a very nice saber straight out of a Deep
South estate.--$895.SOLD
-
  Very
attractive, Model 1840, Ames Artillery
saber. This saber is out of an
Arkansas estate and was almost certainly
Confederate carried in that all the US maker
markings have been long ago filed away.
This saber was in an Arkansas museum for
over 30 years. We believe that at one
time, the saber was in an old UCV Hall where
it was lightly nickel plated as they often
did in hopes of eliminating the need for
cleaning. Confederate carried,
captured Federal guns and swords was quite
common. This would be a very nice
addition to any Civil War display.--$750.
-
  Really
pretty, "CS MARKED", Confederate Short
Artillery sword. This sword has a very
nice blade, gently darkening with age.
The high copper content "CS Marked" guard
has a rich, never cleaned, bronze/brown,
aged patina. This is a very rare
Confederate sword and is nice enough to be
in any museum across the country. The
cast brass guard has the "Star" and the "CS"
cast into each side of the guard. It
is believed by many collectors that this
sword may likely be a product of the
Confederate Selma Arsenal in Southern
Alabama. There have been a couple
partially molded examples recovered in the
river at the arsenal site. This will
be an excellent addition to any Civil War
collection, even to museum
level.--$3,250.SOLD
-
Absolutely
massive "Bad To The Bone" Confederate
blacksmith hand crafted bowie out of a North
Carolina estate many years ago. This
wicked weapon measures a full 19 inches
overall with a spear shaped blade measuring
just over 12 inches, and this thing is still
lethal sharp. The knife has an
attractive hand crafted brass guard.
When you hold this guy in your hand - the
words of "Crocodile Dundee" comes to mind --
"NO - This Is A Knife" !!--$850.
-
Extremely
rare to recover, massive 14 inch Confederate
bowie knife blade recovered from the camp of
the 8th Texas Cavalry. This bowie
knife was made from a huge rasp, and you can
still see remnants of some of the rasp teeth
in areas. Apparently the Texas guys
were much like Crocodile Dundee, "No, this
is a knife." This will be a fine
addition to any excavated Confederate
weapons display.--$750.
-
  Just
in out of a local Middle Tennessee estate,
Model 1860 import, light cavalry saber and
scabbard. The blade remains bright and
clean with just a couple of small blade
nicks from service. The 3-branch brass
guard has a rich, aged, bronze patina, and
the grip has original wrap and wire.
The iron scabbard remains in very nice
condition with a smooth, never cleaned,
chocolate brown patina. From where
this saber came from, it was almost
certainly Confederate carried.--$750.SOLD
-
  Very
nice condition, Model 1840, "Old
Wristbreaker", Heavy Cavalry saber and
scabbard. Model 1840 sabers were
extensively carried by both Union and
Confederate Cavalry, especially early in the
Civil War. Union Cavalry, for the most
part, changed over to Model 1860 Light
Cavalry sabers, but Confederate Cavalry
continued to carry the Model 1840 "Old
Wristbreaker" throughout the Civil War.
Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest
carried one early in the war, and many in
his command carried Model 1840 sabers
throughout the Civil War. This
particular saber has an unusual 3-branch
"iron" guard rather than the more typical
brass guard. These are generally an
import procured before the Civil War by
"Tiffany" of New York. This example
has a nice, clean, unmarked blade just
beginning to darken with age. The grip
remains in nice condition as does the
3-branch iron guard and pommel cap.
This saber is out of a Central Arkansas
estate and was very likely Confederate
carried.(CW)--$795.SOLD
-
      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.
-
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
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.SOLD
Union
-
    Nice,
clean, Model 1850, Foot Officer's sword
(without scabbard) out of a Central Ohio
estate. The blade remains clean with
clearly visible engraving from top to
bottom. The brass guard remains in
very nice condition with rich, aged patina
and gold gilt showing through in areas.
The grip has original sharkskin and some of
the original wire. The sword shows
honest wear and no doubt saw action.--$595.
-
    Very
pretty condition, Model 1840, NCO
(Non-commissioned Officer) sword and
scabbard. The sword blade remains
bright and clean with a crisp "Ames Mfg. Co.
- 1864 - ADK - US" blade marking. The
cast brass guard remains in perfect
condition. The sword remains in its
original leather scabbard, and the scabbard
is complete but does have an old repair to a
weak area a few inches above the brass drag.
This Model 1840 NCO sword and scabbard is
definitely nicer than most that you
see.--$695.
-
    Very
pretty condition, Model 1840, Federal Light
Artillery saber and scabbard. The
saber itself has a bright, clean blade,
marked, "Ames - Chicopee Mass - 1854".
The saber retains original wrap and wire on
the grip, and the classic cast "D-guard" has
a rich, never cleaned, aged patina. I
believe the saber was likely at one time on
display in a "GAR" post, as the scabbard is
lightly nickel plated, which many GAR posts
did so that very little cleaning and
maintenance was required. If a person
so desires, the nickel plating can be
removed. This is a nice quality
Federal Artillery saber.--$895.
-
    Just
brought in - A very pretty condition, Model
1860, Federal Light Cavalry saber and
scabbard. This saber has a nice clean
blade marked "1864 - US - C. ROBY".
The saber has original wrap and wire, and
the cast brass guard has a nice uncleaned,
aged patina. The scabbard has an
uncleaned brown/black patina with only a
couple minor service dings. The saber
has the type aged look we all really
like.--$895.
-
    Very
nice condition, Model 1860, Light Cavalry
saber and scabbard. This saber has a
nice, clean blade with no pitting at all and
is marked, "US - 1864 - Mansfield & Lamb".
It has 100% intact original wrap and wire on
the grip, and the cast brass guard remains
in perfect condition. The saber is out
of a Franklin, Tennessee, estate and is
quite likely to be left from the November
30, 1864, Battle of Franklin, Tennessee.
This is a museum quality Federal Cavalry
saber.--$950.SOLD
-
 Model
1850, import Foot Officer's sword found
hanging in a tobacco barn near Bentonville,
North Carolina. This is of course
where the final surrender of the Army of
Tennessee occurred. The sword remains
totally uncleaned just as found and could
have equally as likely been carried by Union
or Confederate. This is a relic that
could fit equally as well into an excavated
or non-excavated Civil War relic
collection.--$595.SOLD*
-
    Very
attractive, Model 1860, Light Cavalry saber
and scabbard. The blade has a gently
aging, gray/brown patina with blade markings
of, "Ames Mfg - Chicopee - 1863 - US - ADK"
(Alias King). The three-branch brass
guard remains in very nice condition with
original wrap and wire on the grip.
The iron scabbard has a deep, aged,
chocolate brown patina with only one dent
near the lower mount. This saber shows
wear evidence indicating quite a lot of
use.--$895.
-
     Very
attractive, Model 1832, Federal Short
Artillery sword. This is a massive,
Roman style sword with blade markings of,
"US - 1843". The blade has a gently
aging, gray/brown patina, and the guard is
massive cast brass fish scale. The
scabbard is a 1960's era reproduction and
was carried in many Living History programs.
Every collection should have one of these
massive Short Artillery swords.--$650.
-
    Very
nice condition Model 1860 Federal light
cavalry saber and scabbard. This saber
has a nice clean blade, and is marked "1864
- C. ROBY - W. Chelmsford, MASS." It
was in a central Ohio G.A.R. Hall for many
years, and that is likely where the scabbard
got some Nickel plating. The idea was
to plate the scabbard, and you wouldn't have
to clean it anymore. The saber remains
in nice condition with excellent original
wrap and wire on the grip.--$750.
-
    Very
nice condition, Model 1860, Ames produced
Light Cavalry saber and scabbard. This
saber was brought home from the Civil War as
a souvenir by a local Confederate Infantry
soldier. The saber has a clean blade
just beginning to darken with age. The
blade is marked, "Ames Mfg. Co. - US -
1865". The grip remains in excellent
condition with original wire intact.
The scabbard is in nice condition and has
been with the saber since the Civil War Era,
but is actually for an 1840 Heavy Cavalry
saber. This would be a beautiful saber
to go over someone's mantle.--$695.
-
    Very
pretty condition, 1820 - 1840 era, "P-Guard"
Militia Officer's saber. This saber is
out of a Texas estate and is believed to
have been carried by a Texas Cavalryman.
The grip on the saber is intricately carved
bone, and the blade is nicely engraved with
gilting and bluing. It is quite a
rarity to encounter a saber of this type
with the original leather scabbard remaining
completely intact with both mounts and
original brass drag. It is very likely
that this saber was carried by a Texas
Cavalryman and will be a museum quality
addition to someone's Civil War
collection.--$1,150.
-
        Absolutely
beautiful, presentation grade, 1870's era,
Fraternal sword in original ornate sheath.
The sword itself has an intricately engraved
blade presented to "Benno Rohnert".
The sword has an inscribed ivory grip and an
incredibly ornate, cast brass, scabbard
throat and mount. This is a Masonic
Knights of Templar with IN HOC SIGNO VINCES
around a "blood red passion cross". It
is my understanding that these ultra ornate
Templar swords were reserved for the Masonic
Commandery. It is without a doubt the
most ornate Fraternal sword that has come
through this shop in many years.--$395.
-
     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.SOLD
-
    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
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.
-
    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.SOLD
-
    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.

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.
-
    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

spots. This would be a quality
addition to any Civil War collection.--$695.Very

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.
-
  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.
-
    Beautiful
condition, Model 1840, Ames Non-Commissioned
Officer, Federal sword and scabbard.
The blade remains clean and bright with Ames
on the scroll marking on one side and dated
1864 and marked "US" on the other. The

very nice condition tip to tip.--$695.
-
        Very
- very nice condition Model 1852 Federal
Naval Officer's Sword and Scabbard.
The blade is beautiful with deep - crisp
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
blade is bright with sparkling bright
engraving and is marked "Philadelphia" and
would have been also marked "Horstmann" -
but that mark has been intentionally
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.
-
        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.

attractive, .577 cal., Enfield triangular socket bayonet in

remains in perfect condition with the attaching spring intact and
strong. The saber bayonet remains in its original leather
scabbard, and we have added a reproduction leather carrying frog

over 20 years ago along the Confederate line on private property
here at the Battle of Stones River.--$98.

45 - 70 trapdoor bayonet (Indian Wars era) picked-up near Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas. This fort has been active for almost
200 years with lots of activity during the Indian War's Era.
The bayonet and scabbard are rusty from many years exposure, but
everything remains intact and stable.--$125.
-
Excavated,
broken, .577 cal., Enfield triangular socket bayonet. These
two bayonet portions were recovered on private property along the

tip of the bayonet is not present.--$65.

 Original,
.58 cal., Springfield, triangular socket bayonet. This
bayonet was found in an old home here in Murfreesboro and was
likely left over from the Battle of Stones River. The

cal., Enfield, triangular socket bayonet. This bayonet has
been hanging in a barn here near Stones River and is quite likely
a pick-up from the battlefield. It has a smooth, chocolate,
aged patina.--$175.
-
  Nice,
clean, Remington Zouave saber bayonet in original leather
scabbard. The bayonet
itself has a sparkling bright blade and a perfect condition, cast
brass guard. The
leather scabbard is complete but does have some tape supporting a
weak spot just above the drag.
Other than that one area, the scabbard is complete and
nice.--$450. complete with scabbard.
-
 Very
nice condition, non-excavated, .69 cal., triangular socket bayonet
correct for a "Towers" musket. This was brought in out of a
local estate and was almost certainly Confederate carried.--$195.SOLD*
-
Very
pretty condition, bright, clean, non-excavated, .69 cal., English
Towers, triangular socket bayonet. This bayonet fit the .69
cal. British counterpart to our Model 1842 rifled musket. We
have recovered quite a number of these from Confederate early war
campsites.--$175.
-
Quite
unusual, excavated, .69 cal., Model 1842, triangular socket
bayonet. This was recovered over 30 years ago on private
property along the Confederate battle line here at Stones River.
Interestingly, the socket is broken just behind the lock ring.
I can't imagine how you would accomplish breaking the bayonet at
this point.--$95.
-
Very
nice condition, excavated, friction fit, .69 cal., triangular
socket bayonet. This bayonet was recovered over 30 years ago
on private property along the Confederate battle line here at
Stones River. It remains in very sound condition, has been
cleaned and coated and is ready for display.--$125.
-
.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.
-
   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.
-
 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, .54 cal., 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.
