1. 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.

2. Very pretty, Model 1860 import, Light Cavalry saber and scabbard.  During the Civil War, the South traded cotton to several European countries for both sabers and muskets.  This saber is out of a Southern estate and was very likely Confederate carried during the Civil War.  The blade remains bright and clean, and the three-branch brass guard remains in very nice condition with several "rack numbers" stamped in.  The leather grip and wire were restored about 20 years ago and display perfectly.  The metal scabbard has a dark, aged patina and is without even a single dent.  This is a very attractive, Model 1860, Civil War saber that will look fantastic over someone's mantel.--$695.SOLD

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

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

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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..

15. 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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Model 1860, Light Cavalry saber that is marked on the blade, "Ames Mfg. Co. - Chicopee Mass." and on the reverse, "US - ADK - 1863".  The blade has a smooth, brown/gray patina with some traces of old nickel plating.  The grip remains in very nice condition with original wrap and wire.  The original 3-branch brass guard remains in very nice condition with an attractive, gently aging, bronze/brown patina.  The metal scabbard is clean with some remnants of plating as well.  It is very likely that this saber was at least for a time on display at an old "G.A.R. Hall", we believe, due to the remnants of old plating. --$695.SOLD

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Very attractive, Model 1850, Federal Field and Staff officer's sword and scabbard.  The blade on this sword remains clean and bright with knee-deep engraving top to bottom and a maker's mark, "W. H. Horstmann & Sons - Philadelphia".  The blade does have some staining on the last few inches from the tip.  This could be rubbed out if so desired.  The brass guard remains perfect with a rich, never cleaned, aged patina and beautiful gold gilt in all the recessed areas.  The grip has original shark skin and wire perfectly intact.  The metal scabbard remains in very nice condition.  This beautiful sword has seen extensive service as evidenced by the top ring mount being worn 1/3 the way through the mount and the drag literally worn so much that it is worn through to the interior of the scabbard.  There is no doubt, if this sword could talk, it would have quite a story to tell.--$1,150.

8. 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.

9. Nice condition, Model 1860, Light Cavalry saber and scabbard.  This saber has a nice, clean blade and is marked, "Ames Mfg Co. - Chicopee - 1864 - US".  The cast brass, three-branch guard remains in perfect condition, and the saber's grip has all original leather wrap and twisted brass wire.  The soldier's initials are carved into the top portion of the brass guard with a pen knife.  The original scabbard remains in very nice condition and is without even a single dent.  This is overall a nicer Model 1860, Civil War Light Cavalry saber than most you see.--$895.

10. Model 1860, Ames produced, Light Cavalry saber and scabbard.  The blade has a smooth, aging, gray/brown patina with markings of, "Ames Mfg Co - Chicopee Mass" on a scroll on one side, and on the other side, "US - A.D.K. (Alias D. King).  The date appears to be 1861, but the "1" has some scars, and I'm not 100% sure what it is.  The cast-brass, 3-branch guard remains in perfect condition, and the wrap and wire remain intact and in very nice condition as well.  The metal scabbard has a smooth, aged, gray/brown patina and shows clear evidence of lots of service with the top ring worn 1/4th of the way through the mount.  This is a Cavalry saber that could tell lots of combat stories.--$850.

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. 1870's era, Presentation Militia Officer's sword and scabbard.  The sword has a bone grip with an Eagle perched on a knight's helmet pommel cap.  The blade remains clean and bright with only a few areas beginning to darken with age.  The Presentation in Old English script is to E. M. Timbers.  We have not researched E. M. Timbers, and it is quite possible that he may have also served in the Civil War.  Although post Civil War Era, this is a beautiful sword and scabbard that displays first rate.--Only $150.

15. Very pretty condition Model 1840 Federal N.C.O. (Non-Commissioned Officer) sword only without leather scabbard.  The blade remains clean and bright, and is dated "1863".  The date remains visible, but isn't stamped very deeply at all.  This would be a fantastic first Civil War sword for a young Civil War collector.--ONLY $295.

16. 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.

17. 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.

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.

19. 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.SOLD

20. 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.

21. 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.

Co. - Chicopee Mass - US - 1865."  The blade was sharpened long ago but is aged to match the rest of the blade.  The D-shaped brass guard remains in very nice condition with an attractive, aged patina.  The leather grip was restored in the 1960's and displays as nicely as original today.  It is in the original metal scabbard which remains in good condition, but does have several small dings from field service.--$795.

27. 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.

28. Relic condition, Model 1860, Federal Navy Cutlass.  The blade on this Cutlass is pitted and appears to have possibly been excavated once upon a time.  The massive, brass guard has a small portion broken away but remains 80% - 90% intact.  The grip was restored for display back in the 1970's era.  Not high grade by any means, but is still a real deal Civil War sword.--$250.

31. 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.

Dingee - New York" on the belt reverse.  The belt remains strong, but clearly shows actual field service.  The buckle has a rich, aged, never cleaned patina.--$2,450.

34. Very attractive, Model 1850, contract import, Federal Foot Officer's sword and scabbard.  The blade is just beginning to gray with age and has clearly legible US engraving from top to bottom, and is "Solingen" marked.  The brass guard is in very nice condition with a rich, uncleaned, aged, bronze patina and original sharkskin and wire on the grip.  The sword is in the original, brass mounted, metal scabbard that it came down through the family in.  It has a couple of small dents from field service but is a nice, honest example of a typical Federal Foot Officer's sword and scabbard that was carried in the American Civil War.--$950.

35. 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.

36. 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.

37. 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.

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. 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.

2. Nice condition, .69 cal., Model 1842, triangular socket bayonet.  This bayonet remains in nice condition with a deep, clear "US" mark and just beginning to gray with age patina.  This would be a very nice compliment to display with your .69 cal., Model 1842, Springfield or Harpers Ferry musket.--$250.

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.
