1. Extremely rare, H. Marshall of Atlanta, Georgia, Confederate manufactured Cavalry saber in very nice, original condition in a perfectly accurate, professionally reproduced wooden scabbard.  The wooden scabbard enables this to be one of the most easily recognized Confederate manufactured sabers of all.  This saber has original wrap and wire and a nice, clean blade just beginning to gray with age.  This is a style Confederate saber that very few Confederate collections have.--$2,850.SOLD*

2. Really pretty, Confederate manufacture, Foot Officer's sword with original gilted sword knot and gray/brown unstopped fuller Confederate blade.  This sword has original brass scabbard mounts, but the leather was replaced a number of years ago.  I believe this sword could be a product of E. J. Johnson of Macon, Georgia, but am not 100% certain which maker it is.  This sword displays beautifully.--$3,850.

3. Extremely rare artifact to recover, Model 1850 Foot Officer's sword recovered on private property from the Confederate battle line at Chickamauga, Georgia.  In 50 years relic hunting, I have only recovered two swords.  So this is not a find that happens very often at all.  Too bad this relic can't talk, because it would no doubt have quite a tale to tell.--$595.SOLD*

4. Very nice condition, 12 1/2 inch overall Confederate dirk with an 8 1/4 inch blade.  This knife appears to have been constructed from a file and has a silver "S-shaped" hand guard.  The wooden grip is hand-crafted American walnut.  This knife is out of a north Alabama estate and is as Confederate as Robert E. Lee and N. B. Forrest.--$895.

5. Excavated, cast brass, Cavalry saber pommel cap.  This was recovered from the camp of the 1st Alabama Cavalry - CSA.  It appears to have been run over by something very heavy like a cannon or wagon.  The cap appears to be from either a Confederate "Dog River" Cavalry saber or a Model 1840 "Old Wristbreaker".--$25.

6. Fresh out of a deep south estate, import Model 1860 light Cavalry saber and scabbard.  Both the saber and scabbard remain in nice condition just beginning to darken with age.  The blade has the "Bleckman" mark and is crisply dated 1861.  The grip remains in very nice condition, and the scabbard is excellent with an aged brown patina and is without a single dent.--$795.

7. Very attractive, 1st Model Kenansville, NC, Confederate Cavalry saber.  The high copper content North Carolina style guard has a rich, uncleaned, aged patina.  The blade has the typical unstopped Confederate fuller and is turning gray/brown with age.  The grip was down to wood and was restored several years ago.  This is a very nice Confederate sword (without scabbard) at a very reasonable price.--$1,850.

8. Very interesting Confederate saber and scabbard out of a local estate.  The South is famous for always having a lack of suitable weapons for the entire Civil War.  This saber and scabbard was blacksmith created by using parts from three separate Cavalry sabers.  The saber has a guard and pommel cap from a 2nd Model Kenansville, NC, Cavalry saber.  The blade has the pen knife style trait common to Tennessee produced "College Hill Arsenal" sabers.  The scabbard which was with the sword when it came out of the family here is an iron import style saber scabbard.  The saber is an excellent example of how the South was forced to create weapons from what they had, because throughout the entire Civil War, the Confederacy had a difficult time keeping their forces armed.  On this particular saber, the outside branch of the guard is bent forward, indicating at some point, the horse went down and sandwiched the saber between the horse and the ground.  I am sure this saber could tell many war stories.  I have a fair guess as to who likely carried this saber.--$2,650.

9. Extremely rare, Confederate manufacture, "Dog River" Confederate Cavalry saber and scabbard picked up on the battlefield and taken home as a war trophy.  The saber has original, single strand iron wire on the grip and some of the original leather.  The cast high copper content brass guard has a rich, never cleaned patina.  The saber has the original unstopped fuller Confederate blade, and it is snapped into about ten inches up from the tip.  The Confederate lap seam "Dog River scabbard" could not be more perfect and has an excellent soldered lap seam with brass mounts.  This is a beautiful, museum quality artifact.--$2,850.

10. Just brought in the shop, nice condition, Confederate carried, Model 1840, "Old Wristbreaker" heavy Cavalry saber in original scabbard.  The blade has a smooth, aging, gray patina and is maker marked, "W. Clauberg - Solingen".  Model 1840 Cavalry sabers were extensively carried by Confederate Cavalry throughout the Civil War.  Even General Nathan Bedford Forrest carried one early in the Civil War, and a good portion of his Cavalry command was armed with 1840 heavy Cavalry sabers throughout the war.  This is without question the most commonly carried Cavalry saber among Southern Cavalry.--$895.

11. Extremely rare, Confederate manufactured, Roman style short Artillery sword with “CS” in the center of the cross guard and a star on the pommel.  These swords are thought to have been made at the Selma Arsenal in Alabama, as a couple of partially cast guards have been found in the river there.  This example has a brown/black, aged patina blade with scattered pitting.  The high copper content, heavy cast brass guard has spiraling ribs and a “CS” and star cast into each side.  This style Confederate sword is known for its crudity of manufacture (which is one of the factors that makes Confederate collectors love it).--$3,250.

12. This ranks as one of the absolute rarest and most sought after Confederate Officer's sword of the American Civil War.  It is a superb Firmin & Sons "Dolphin Head" Confederate Naval Officer's sword and is THE VERY ONE pictured in Albaugh's book, Photograph Supplement of Confederate Swords.  It is pictured on pages 78 - 80 and is attributed to John McIntosh Kell, Executive Officer of the CSS Alabama.  This sword is in excellent overall condition with amazing, fine etching including a Confederate Flag and crossed cannons.  The grip is shark skin and remains completely intact.  This sword comes with a professionally made contemporary replacement scabbard that is perfect in every detail.  With this sword comes a framed family albumin photograph of John McIntosh Kell.  Civil War relics just do not get much better than this.  It has been in a local collection for many years.--$32,500.

13. Beautiful condition and super rare, "Kraft, Goldsmith, & Kraft", Columbia, South Carolina, Confederate Cavalry saber with distinctive wooden scabbard, iron mounts and brass hardware.  This saber has an original Civil War Era, brown ink presentation on the wooden scabbard.  It reads, "Presented to Commodore John H. Sta??? by his friend, General George B. Dand???".  It is very rare to find a K G & K Cavalry saber with a nice original scabbard, and this one is a beauty.  The blade has a smooth, gently aging, gray/brown patina.  The original grip and wire remain intact and in nice condition.  This saber came into the shop about 40 years ago and has been in the collection of Dr. Joe Boyd ever since.  I have no doubt this is one of the nicest condition K G & K Confederate manufactured Cavalry sabers remaining in existence today.--$8,950.

14. Absolutely beautiful condition, Model 1840, "Old Wristbreaker", heavy Cavalry saber and scabbard.  This saber was brought in by a local family and was almost certainly Confederate carried.  The saber has very nice condition original wrap and wire.  Model 1840 sabers were extensively carried by both Union and Confederate Cavalry, especially early in the Civil War, although for the most part, Federal Cavalry changed over to the Model 1860 light by 1863.  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 example remains in very nice condition and would be a quality addition to any Civil War collection.--$895.

15. Very pretty condition, Model 1840 Heavy Cavalry saber and scabbard.  The blade has a smooth, chocolate patina, and it is marked, "Horstmann - Phila."  The brass guard has a rich, aged patina and remains perfectly intact.  The leather grip remains intact, but the wire is not present.  The original scabbard is in very nice condition and remains with the sword, but for some reason, lacks about 2 - 3 inches from completely seating in the scabbard.  I suspect there is some debris down in the scabbard.  This saber is out of a local estate and without question saw Confederate service.  This would be an $850 saber, but since the scabbard needs a little TLC, it is bargained priced.--$750.

16. Super rare, "College Hill Arsenal", Nashville, Tennessee, Confederate Field and Staff Officer's sword and scabbard.  This sword has the same "CSA" cast into the brass guard as the Nashville Plow Works.  The ribbon that is cast into the guard has nothing cast into it whereas "Nashville Plow Works" is integrally cast into the products of Nashville Plow Arsenal.  This beautiful sword is out of the local area and has been in one of the most advanced local collections for the past 40 years.  The blade of the sword has visible Confederate engraving from top to bottom.  The engraving has an "open mouth serpent" as a part of the engraving, and this is known to be an example of "Cunningham" engraving.  The sword has a nice condition, original grip and is in a correct style import leather scabbard.  This was often the case as original Confederate scabbards were often made of poor quality leather and did not last.  This is the nicest College Hill Field and Staff Officer's Confederate sword that we have had come through in a number of years.--$8,500.

17. Beautiful condition and extremely rare, Confederate manufacture, Naval Cutlass and scabbard.  Although the sword is unmarked, it has several New Orleans characteristics.  The guard is solid cast, high copper content brass with no rivets.  The sword as a whole, although unmarked, has several Thomas, Griswold traits.  It would be hard to find an example  of a Confederate Naval Cutlass in scabbard in nicer condition.--$4,500.

18. 12 1/2 inch blacksmith hand crafted Confederate sideknife.  This sideknife is made from a file, and some of the file teeth are still visible.  It was purchased many years ago out of a North Alabama estate.  Amazingly, after all these years, you can still almost shave with it !!  This bad boy sings "Dixie" loud and clear !!!--$650.SOLD

19. Excavated, massive 14 inch, Confederate D-guard bowie.  This bowie was recovered on private property near Shiloh many years ago.  The wooden grips were added about 30 years ago for better display.  The knife has a 9 1/2 inch blade being 2 inches in width and with a clipped tip.  Even though it is an excavated 150+ year-old relic, it would still get the job done.  The knife appears to have been made from a buggy spring.--$595.SOLD

20. Just in, a blacksmith-made, 17 inch, Confederate side knife constructed using the blade of a College Hill Armory Confederate Cavalry saber.  The brass pommel cap appears to be from an imported Cavalry Officer's saber.  This is a classic example of Confederates creating weapons from what they had.  The blade has the distinctive College Hill "pen knife" traits.--$850.SOLD

21. Excavated 17 inch Confederate Bowie knife recovered from an Arkansas Infantry camp located near Shelbyville, TN.  The blade was blacksmith crafted from a 11 1/2 inch rasp.--$895.

22. 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 a smooth, gently aging, brown patina with the cast brass, 3-branch guard in excellent condition and completely intact.  The leather grip was decayed away and has been professionally replaced.  This saber is out of a local estate and was very likely Confederate carried.--$795.SOLD

23. Extremely rare battlefield pick-up, Confederate Cavalry saber picked up at the Battle of Franklin a few years after the battle.  The saber is a "Palmetto Armory" and has blade markings of "Columbia SC".  The blade on the saber is bent and appears to have been run over by a cannon or wagon wheel.  The "Columbia SC" markings on the blade can be easily seen.  This Confederate saber would nicely fit into either an excavated or battlefield pick-up display.--$1,850.SOLD

24. Extremely rare "Boyle and Gamble" - Richmond, Virginia, Confederate Field and Staff Officer's sword and scabbard.  The sword remains in very nice condition with full engraving down both sides of the blade with the "CSA in shield" completely readable in the blade engraving.  The well known Boyle and Gamble "blade fault line" is clearly visible.  The cast brass guard with "CS" in the wreath with the star above is in excellent condition with a rich, aged patina.  The sword has the original wrap and wire on the grip, and it has 95% of the original leather intact.  The sword has been in this leather scabbard since the Civil War Era, but the scabbard is a Civil War date import rather than a Boyle and Gamble product.  The original scabbard was likely damaged.  This Confederate Officer's sword and scabbard is nice enough for about any museum and would be a fine addition to any Confederate collection.--$7,950.

25. Super rare, identified College Hill Arsenal Confederate Foot Officer’s sword and scabbard.  This sword and scabbard is the product of College Hill Arsenal in Nashville, Tennessee.  The sword was carried by Capt. Samuel A. Matthews, Co. E, 16^th Regiment Mississippi Volunteer Infantry.  Capt. Matthews served for one year and was with his regiment encamped at Manassas, Virginia, when his term expired.  The sword remains in very nice condition with visible Confederate engraving virtually half the length of the blade and a large engraved “CSA” clearly engraved down the blade.  The sword’s scabbard is complete with all three original College Hill manufactured brass mounts.  On the top mount is engraved “Matt – Co. E 16^th Miss”.  This is an extremely rare, firmly ID’d, Confederate Officer’s sword in original scabbard.  It originally came directly out of Capt. Matthew’s family estate.  A 50-page notebook comes with the sword detailing the history of the Regiment and Capt. Matthews.--$14,500.

26. SUPER RARE -- Confederate "College Hill Arsenal" - Nashville, TN. made Rebel Foot Officer's sword.  This is the sword only -- out of scabbard.  The blade has an aging grey patina, and a "faint hint" of Confederate engraving remains nearly the full length of the blade.  The leather grip is original, and really nice.--$4,850.SOLD

27. 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.

28. Excavated, Model 1840, heavy Cavalry saber scabbard.  This scabbard was recovered from the camp of the 1st Alabama Cavalry which was raided and destroyed by Union Cavalry in March of 1863.  This scabbard was broken into three pieces and was actually recovered many, many years ago when we first found the camp.  It is currently still in three separate pieces, but displays very nicely.--$75.

29. Quite uncommon "J. E. Bleckman" Model 1860 light cavalry saber and scabbard.  The saber is clearly marked, and is out of a local Southern estate.  Bleckmann sabers were imported from Solingen, Prussia.  A Rebel Tennessee Cavalryman very likely carried this one !!--$795.

30. Massive 20 inch blacksmith made Confederate bowie with leather scabbard.  The bowie has a 14 inch long, and 1 1/2 inch wide blade with a clip tip.  The eaglehead pommel cap is from an 1820 era militia sword.  The grip is bone, and has "the remnants" of the original leather sheath, but the leather sheath is about gone "to the great beyond".  This is a REALLY big knife actually resembling a short artillery sword !!--$1,450.

31. Beautiful condition, "Haiman" style, Confederate Dog River Cavalry saber and scabbard.  This saber is the is the style manufactured in Georgia by Haiman and has a very nice, never cleaned, unstopped fuller Confederate blade and a high copper content Confederate made guard and pommel cap.  The grip remains 100% intact and still has the original single strand copper wire.  The scabbard is a classic 1840 import and has had the rings and drag brass painted many years ago.  You couldn't ask for a prettier Confederate made Cavalry saber and iron scabbard.  This saber was on display in a museum for several years.--$2,950.SOLD

32. Confederate manufacture "Dog River" style Confederate saber that was brought home from the Civil War, and made into a "tobacco cutting knife".  It was a very normal thing for Confederates to bring military items home from the war and adapt them to needs at home or on the farm.  This example has the classic "unstopped fuller" Confederate manufactured blade, and the "red brass" Southern style Cavalry saber guard.  The pommel cap has a casting flaw which is also a trait of Confederate made weapons.  This is a very classic example of how Southerners adapted Civil War weapons to civilian needs back at home.--$750.

33. Very pretty condition, Model 1840, "Old Wristbreaker", heavy Cavalry saber and scabbard.  The saber is a product of Horstmann - Phila.  This saber is out of a local Southern estate and was almost surely Confederate carried.  Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest himself carried a similar saber at the beginning of the war.  The saber has a bright, clean blade just beginning to darken with age and is marked, "Horstmann - Phila."  The three branch brass guard remains in excellent condition, and the saber retains original wrap and wire on the grip.  It is in the original iron scabbard that has soldered on ring mounts and soldered on scabbard throat much like Confederate swords out of Mobile, Alabama.--$950.SOLD*

34. 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.

35. 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.

36. 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

37. 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

38. 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*

39. 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.

40. 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*

41. 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

42. 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.

43. 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

44. 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

45. 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

Bayonets

1. Quite rare style saber bayonet, but unfortunately in somewhat relic condition.  This bayonet is for a Merrill Navy rifle, Model 1862.  It has a massively long 25 inch blade and is serial number 2341.  It has the tiny "G" marking this style bayonet is known for.  This is a style saber bayonet that does not come along very often.--$275.

2. Smooth, brown, attic patina, Model 1855, Springfield triangular socket bayonet.  This bayonet came out of a Franklin estate sale several years ago and was no doubt left by the Union forces as they evacuated Franklin in 1864, following the Battle of Franklin on November 30, 1864.  The bayonet remains completely uncleaned with a visible "US" mark and the lock ring remaining intact.--$175.

3. Original, .577, triangular socket Enfield bayonet and leather scabbard.  If you have an original Enfield musket, this is the compliment you need to make it into a museum caliber display.--$295.SOLD*

4. Excavated, .58 cal., triangular socket bayonet issued with Model 1855, Model 1861, and Model 1863 Springfield and contract muskets.  This one was recovered from a lawn just behind the Federal line at the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee.  It is complete to the very tip.  There will in the future be very few new artifacts recovered from this area due to very expensive new homes and privacy gates.--$150.SOLD

5. Nice condition, Model 1842, .69 cal., triangular socket bayonet.  The bayonet has a deep, clear "US" mark and has a gently aging, gray/brown patina.  If you have a nice Model 1842, .69 cal. musket, here's that bayonet you've been looking for.--$225.

6. Extremely rare and in very nice condition "Boyle & Gamble" Richmond, Virginia, saber bayonet.  The bayonet has a beautiful, never cleaned, high copper alloy, bronze grip and a hand-forged, unstopped fuller blade.  This is out of the Tom Bain collection, and you about couldn't ask for a prettier example.--$1,295.

7. Very attractive condition, .58 cal., triangular socket bayonet correct for Model 1855 Maynard primed muskets, all Model 1861 Springfield and contract muskets, and Model 1863 Springfield and contract muskets.  The bayonet has a smooth, clean, gently aging, graying patina.--$175.

8. Excavated, .58 cal., triangular socket bayonet correct for Model 1855 muskets, Model 1861 muskets, and Model 1863 muskets.  This one was recovered among the limestone out-croppings on private property here at the Battle of Stones River.  It has been nicely cleaned and coated and is ready for display.--$150.

9. Very nice condition, Model 1855, .58 cal., Springfield (and contracts) triangular socket bayonet with nice US mark and in original leather scabbard.  The leather scabbard remains completely intact, but most of the stitching is loose.  This would be a very nice accessory for your .58 cal. Springfield or contract Civil War musket.--$295.SOLD

10. Nice condition, original, .69 cal., Model 1842, triangular socket bayonet in original leather scabbard.  The bayonet is clean overall and just beginning to darken with age.  It has a deep "US" mark.  The leather scabbard remains in nice, complete condition with the stitched seam intact and closed top to bottom.  This seam often breaks open in areas.  The "L" shaped belt loop remains perfectly intact.  If you have a .69 cal., Model 1842 musket, this would be a wonderful compliment to display with your musket.--$425.SOLD*

11. Very nice condition, .58 cal., triangular socket bayonet correct for Model 1855 muskets, Model 1861 muskets, and Model 1863 muskets.  This bayonet remains clean with no pitting at all and a nice "US" mark.  The leather scabbard is in nice condition with no breaks or weak spots.  The seam is not separated at all which is a rarity.  Perfect to complete your Springfield musket display.--$375.SOLD

12. Just brought in, very nice condition, .69 cal., Model 1842, triangular socket bayonet correct for the Model 1842, .69 cal. musket.  This bayonet has a smooth, dark, never cleaned attic patina and is quite likely a "left over" picked up here after the Battle of Stones River.  The bayonet has a very pleasing smooth surface and would clean up nicely if wanted.--$225.

13. 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.SOLD

14. Nice condition, Model 1816, .69 cal., friction fit socket bayonet.  This is just in out of the local area and was very likely actually used here at the Battle of Stones River.  The bayonet has a crisp, clear US mark.  If you have a Model 1816 musket needing a bayonet, here's your chance.--$195.

15. This, of course, is not Civil War, but a family just brought it in.  It is a Model 1913, Spanish "NACIONAL TODEDO - Artilleria" rifle sword bayonet with original leather scabbard.  It remains in very nice condition but could use a little clean-up.--$125.

16. Very nice condition, non-excavated, .577 cal., Enfield triangular socket bayonet.  This is a nice, clean bayonet but is missing the small lock ring.  This would be the perfect compliment to display with your .577 cal. Enfield 3-band rifled musket.--$175.

17. Model 1842, .69 cal., triangular socket bayonet with smooth, chocolate, aged patina found in a log smokehouse here locally near the Battle of Stones River.  Both Union and Confederate forces used lots of Model 1842, .69 cal. muskets here.  This is a very nice, untampered with bayonet left over from the battle.--$195.

18. Quite rare, Model 1862, Merrill Navy rifle, brass handle saber bayonet.  This bayonet has an extremely long blade of around 25 inches.  The cast brass guard is marked with a "G" and a serial number of 2341.  The blade has a dark brown patina with some pitting and appears to be an attic find.--$275.

19. Very nice condition, Model 1842, .69 cal., Austrian four-side bayonet.  These were almost exclusively Confederate used.  It should be noted that this style bayonet was eventually banned from military use as inhumane.  This example remains in excellent condition.--$195.

20. Just brought in by a local family, .58 cal., Model 1855, triangular socket bayonet that appears the same as other socket bayonets, except this one has a small "S" marking that differs from most Civil War Era bayonets we encounter.  Some Civil War collectors feel these to be for the Model 1860 Spencer Rifles (that were used in quantity at Hoovers Gap here in Middle Tennessee).  The bayonet is in nice condition with a smooth, chocolate patina.  I am personally unsure what the "S" marking stands for.--$250.

21. Nice condition, excavated, Model 1855, .58 cal., triangular socket bayonet.  This bayonet was recovered on private property along the Union Line here at the Battle of Stones River.  Complete bayonets are becoming very rare to recover anymore.--$150.

22. Excavated, .58 cal., Springfield or contract, triangular socket bayonet.  This was recovered many years ago along the Federal line here at Stones River.  It has been sealed and coated and is ready for display.--$175.

23. Just brought in, very nice condition, .69 cal., Model 1842, triangular socket bayonet correct for the Model 1842, .69 cal. musket.  This bayonet has a smooth, dark, never cleaned attic patina and is quite likely a "left over" picked up here after the Battle of Stones River.  The bayonet has a very smooth surface and would clean up nicely if wanted.--$195.

24. Very nice condition, .58 cal., triangular socket bayonet that is correct for the Model 1855 muskets, Model 1861 Springfield and contracts, and Model 1863 muskets.  The US mark remains deep and sharp, and the bayonet overall has a smooth, chocolate brown attic patina having never been cleaned.  Perfect if you have a .58 cal. musket needing a patinaed bayonet.--$195.

25. 27 inch overall import Civil War Era saber bayonet.  This saber bayonet recently surfaced in a north Florida estate sale.  It is the style sometimes seen with Colt revolving rifles.  It has an aged, attic type patina and could have just as easily been Union or Confederate used.  This will be an excellent addition to someone's Civil War relic display.--$295.

26. Very nice condition, non-excavated, .69 cal., triangular socket bayonet correct for the Model 1842 Springfield or Harpers Ferry, 3-band, .69 cal. musket.  This bayonet has a crisp "US" mark and is just beginning in areas to darken with age.--$250.

27. Nice condition, Battlefield pick-up, 4 side, .54 cal., Austrian socket bayonet.  This bayonet came out of a local smokehouse near the Battlefield here at Stones River and was almost certainly a pick-up on the field after the battle.  It has a smooth, even, aged, chocolate brown patina.--$150.

28. Quite attractive, .577 cal., Enfield triangular socket bayonet in original leather scabbard.  This would display very nicely with your .577 cal., 3-band Enfield musket.--$395.SOLD

29. Very nice condition, non-excavated, Enfield saber bayonet with pressed leather grips.  The blade on this bayonet has a smooth, gently aging, brown/gray patina, and the checkered pressed leather grips remain completely intact.  This would be an excellent addition to any Confederate relic display.--$295.SOLD

30. Excavated, .54 cal., 4-side Austrian socket bayonet.  This was recovered over 20 years ago along the Confederate line on private property here at the Battle of Stones River.--$98.SOLD

31. Early 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.

32. Excavated, broken, .577 cal., Enfield triangular socket bayonet.  These two bayonet portions were recovered on private property along the Confederate battle line here at the Battle of Stones River.  One can only guess what occurred in the battle resulting in this bayonet being broken.  With these two pieces, only the very tip of the bayonet is not present.--$65.

33. Bright, clean, .69 cal., friction fit, triangular socket bayonet often seen on Remington conversions of the Model 1816 muskets.  This style bayonet will also fit most Springfield and Harpers Ferry Model 1816 muskets.--$225.

34. .577 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.

35. 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.

36. 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*

37. 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.

38. .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.

39. 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.

40. 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.

41. 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.

42. 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.

43. .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.
