  1. Really pretty, untouched condition, massive, 18 1/2", blacksmith made, Confederate D-guard bowie.  Our buddy, Brian Akins (the Rebel) flushed this out of the local bushes a couple of years ago.  This massive D-guard bowie has a 13" clip tip blade that appears to have been made from a very large rasp.  This is one fierce looking Rebel weapon and remains just as found as we like them to be.--$1,650.

  2. 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.

  3. Very attractive, Confederate manufactured, "Dog River" Cavalry saber that was carried in the Civil War in an 1840 iron mounted "Old Wristbreaker" scabbard.  This saber surfaced here in Middle Tennessee a number of years ago and was without question Confederate carried.  The blade has a gray/brown aged patina, and the grip retains original wrap and wire.  The brass Cavalry guard remains in very nice condition with an aged, bronze patina.--$1,450.SOLD

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Beautiful condition, and extremely rare 15 inch overall Blacksmith crafted Confederate Bowie knife out of a North Georgia estate.  The blade on this knife is almost 2 inches wide, and appears to have been crafted from a Buggy Spring.  The knife has a walnut grip, and a brass ferrel and cap - both of which have a rich aged, never cleaned patina.  This will be a fine, museum worthy addition to someone's Confederate Blade collection.--$950.

  7. Very rare and in excellent condition, "MOLE" marked,  imported, and often Confederate used English Cavalry saber.  The pressed leather grips remain in very nice condition, and the blade remains sparkling bright.  The Mole marking remains as deep and sharp as it was during the Civil War.  The scabbard has a smooth, chocolate, aged patina and is without even a single dent.  This is an imported and often C.S. used saber that many collections are missing and quite difficult to find in nice condition.--$1,295.SOLD

  8. 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.

  9. Quite rare, "Dog River" style, Confederate manufactured, Cavalry saber and scabbard.  The saber has a nice, clean blade, with classic, Confederate, unstopped fuller, and just beginning to gray with age.  The high copper content brass guard has a rich, aged, bronze patina and is classic Confederate manufactured.  The saber has original wrap and wire on the grip with about 90% of the original leather remaining intact.  The scabbard is classic, lap seam, brass mounted, Confederate construction and has a thick, brown, aged patina.  The scabbard is complete except for missing the small, brass plate at the top.  There is nice wear in the ring mounts indicating lots of actual field service.--$3,950.SOLD

  10. Extremely rare, 14 inch, hand blacksmith crafted, Confederate bowie knife in original, brown leather, hand tooled, Confederate sheath and belt cradle.  This is an exceptionally nice Confederate side knife/bowie purchased in 1989 out of the Nationally know Fred Slaton, Jr. collection of Nebo, KY.  The blade appears to have been made from a file and has a 4 1/2 inch walnut grip.  For many years, the Fred Slaton, Jr. collection was considered one of the best in the nation, and it is virtually unheard of to find an original Confederate bowie in both its original brown leather sheath and also the original brown leather, hand-crafted saddle for attaching it to the belt.  This is an unusually nice Confederate blade with a cool Fred Slaton pedigree.--$1,295.

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

  12. 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.

  13. Nice condition, crude blacksmith crafted, 12 1/2" overall, Confederate sideknife.  The blade on the dagger is just over 7" in length and is crafted from a file, and it has a pewter throat and walnut grip.  The knife remains in its original leather sheath, and although very crude in construction, is quite sturdy built and remains very sharp yet today.  Maybe not ornate or fancy, but I guarantee this knife would yet today be lethal as ever.--$495.

  14. Absolutely beautiful condition, SUPER RARE, Confederate manufactured wooden scabbard Confederate Cavalry saber.  Most collectors now believe this to be a product of Kraft, Goldschmidt, and Kraft of Columbia, SC.  This extremely rare Confederate saber was for many years believed a product of H. Marshall of Atlanta, GA.  This example has a bright, clean blade and an excellent grip with original wrap and wire.  The original wooden scabbard is one of the nicest that I have seen in years.  This fine Confederate Cavalry saber was for many years on display in a GAR Post in Boston.  You couldn't ask for a nicer example of this extremely scarce Confederate manufactured Cavalry saber and scabbard.--$8,500..

  15. 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.

  16. 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..

  17. 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. Massive, Model 1832, Federal short Artillery sword in an original era, import, leather scabbard.  The blade has an aging, gray/brown patina and is marked, "W. P. Ames - Springfield - 1842".  The massive, cast brass guard remains in excellent condition with an attractive, aging, bronze patina.  The leather scabbard came out of the estate with the sword and appears to have been with the sword since Civil War Era, but it is an import rather than an Ames product.  This sword is originally out of a local Southern estate and could very well have been Southern carried which would explain the presence of the import leather scabbard.--$795.SOLD

  2. Fresh out of a Central Illinois estate sale, very pretty, untouched, Model 1860 Ames Cavalry saber and scabbard.  The saber has a nice condition blade, gently turning a smooth gray/brown patina with age.  It is marked, "US - G.W.S. - 1864", and on the reverse, "Ames Mfg. Co. - Chicopee Mass".  The brass guard has a beautiful, rich, aged, bronze/brown patina that has never been cleaned.  The outside branch is bent forward, indicating at some point the horse went down and sandwiched the saber between the saddle and the ground.  The original leather grip remains perfectly intact with complete wrap and wire.  The metal scabbard has a pleasing, aged, gray/brown patina and nice wear in the ring mounts indicating actual field service.  This saber would be a museum worthy addition to any collection.--$895.SOLD

  3. Extremely rare to find loose from a sword, nicely marked, brass mounted leather scabbard (missing the lower drag) for a Model 1850, Ames Foot Officer's sword.  The top mount is crisply marked, "Ames Mfg. Co. - Chicopee Mass".  If you have an Ames Foot Officer's sword missing the scabbard, here is your chance to put a scabbard with it.--$195.SOLD

  4. Model 1840, Federal Light Artillery saber and scabbard.  This saber recently surfaced in a North Florida estate sale.  The blade remains clean and bright with markings of, "US ADK & 1863".  The markings remain visible but are light as if someone attempted to remove them.  Confederates carrying captured Federal swords and firearms quite often removed the Federal marks from their weapon.  The grip retains original wrap and wire, and the single "D" brass guard remains perfectly intact with a rich, aged, never cleaned, bronze patina.  The original scabbard has a smooth, chocolate brown, aged patina and does not have even a single dent.  This will be a very nice addition to any Civil War collection or museum.--$750.

  5. 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.

  6. Model 1850, Federal Foot Officer's sword in original, brass mounted, metal scabbard.  The guard has a pleasing, toned brass patina, and the grip has original wrap and wire.  The blade is marked, "Horstmann & Sons, Philadelphia" and retains deep engraving from top to bottom.  The sword shows clear evidence of having been carried with lots of wear on the brass drag of the scabbard.--$975.

  7. 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.

  8. Quite rare to find, early war "1862" Mansfield & Lamb, Federal Light Cavalry saber and scabbard.  This saber has a clean blade, just beginning to darken with age, and is marked "US - 1862 - Mansfield & Lamb".  The original leather grip and twisted wire remain completely intact.  The metal scabbard has an aged, chocolate brown patina and two or three typical service dings.--$850.

  9. 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.

  10. Nothing less than DROP DEAD BEAUTIFUL SUPER HIGH PRESENTATION GRADE "Tomes - Son, & Melvain - New York" Federal Officer's sword.  This high grade officer's sword has a solid silver engraved grip, and the cast Eagle in the guard has REAL ruby eyes.  The blade retains crisp engraving from top to bottom.  The scabbard is extremely high grade with a sharkskin covered body and intricately engraved brass mounts.  This beautiful presentation sword is out of an Ohio estate sale and will be a centerpiece to even a museum quality display.--$3,850.

  11. Quite rare, Model 1832, Ames regulation, artillery short sword manufactured in the first year of production.  This sword has a smooth, aged, never cleaned, gray/brown patina with blade markings of, "Ames - Springfield - 1832 - US".  The original leather scabbard remains complete and in very nice, solid condition.  This would be a quality addition to either a Civil War artillery display or a Civil War sword display.  It has been many years since I have had a first year production Ames short artillery sword.--$975.

  12. 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.

  13. Very pretty, Model 1860, Light Cavalry saber with sparkling bright blade from tip to tip and is marked, "US - 1864 - Mansfield & Lamb - Forestdale R.I."  This saber has original wrap and wire on the grip and also original metal scabbard that is without even one single dent.  All in all, this is a considerably nicer quality Model 1860 Light Cavalry saber than most that come along.--$895.

  15. 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..

  27. 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.

  31. 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 leather scabbard remains complete and in very nice condition tip to tip.--$695.

  33. Quite rare, Model 1860, Union enlisted Cavalry saber and scabbard by maker J.E. Bleckmann imported from Solingen, Prussia.  It is believed that only about 5,000 of these sabers were actually received from Bleckmann.  The firm of J.E. Bleckmann was located in Solingen, Prussia, and the sabers were considered quality, well made pieces.  The blade has Bleckmann's signature mark of a bow and arrow with "B and M" inside of the bow.  The blade on this saber is clean and well marked.  The three-branch brass guard has a rich, aged, never cleaned patina.  The grip is worn to polished wood indicating the saber saw considerable service.  The iron scabbard remains in very nice condition without even a single dent.--$750.

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.

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.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.
