        Very
attractive, percussion, 12-gauge, double barrel shotgun.
This weapon is out of a North Florida estate and is believed
to have been carried by a Confederate Cavalryman. Many
years ago, I recovered a near identical shotgun from the camp
of the 51st Alabama Cavalry. These were carried by
numerous Confederates during the first year of the Civil War.
It will make a fine addition to someone's Confederate display.
The shotgun remains all intact except for needing one ramrod
tube which would be a very easy repair.--$450.

 Excellent
condition, original ,Civil War "nipple pick". If you
have an original Civil War cap box, and it is missing the pick

box.--$45.

     Bad
to the bone 1830 to 1840 era single shot .69 cal. BRASS BARREL
original FLINTLOCK pistol straight out of a central North
Carolina estate, and sings "DIXIE" loud and clear !! The
lockplate is nicely "LONDON" marked, and the brass buttcap has
a Drooped Wing eagle. No Yankee would have been caught
dead carrying this old out dated war-horse, - but load her up
with about a dozen big buck, and up close and personal it
would be a BAD BOY !!! The stock has a couple very old
repairs.--$895.SOLD

 This
is a smokehouse find, .36 cal., double cavity bullet mold for
a Model 1851 Colt Navy revolver. The mold has a smooth,
brown, smokehouse type patina and still opens and closes with
ease. We have inserted two excavated projectiles
recovered here at Stones River into the mold for display.
This would be an excellent compliment to display with your
Colt Model Navy revolver.--$125.SOLD*

     Beautiful
condition, 1st Model, .22 cal., Smith & Wesson 7-shot

-
           Very
nice condition, Colt .36 cal., Police Model revolver with an
all-matching serial number of 25949, except for the wedge
which is an old replacement. This revolver has good
action and a pleasing, aged, gray/brown patina. The
revolver comes in an excellent condition, original Confederate
manufacture, leather holster. On the butt of the
revolver is carved, "K. Cockman - 11th Ark". David
Cockman was captured February 4, 1864, in action near Clinton,
Mississippi. K. David Cockman is buried in Oak Woods
Cemetery having died at Camp Douglas on April 26, 1864.--SOLD
-
     Very
attractive, .69 cal., smooth bore, Confederate carbine, hand
blacksmith crafted from a Model 1842, 3-band, Infantry rifled
musket. The carbine has a smooth, aged, chocolate patina
overall with lockplate markings of, "Springfield - 1850".
The weapon was shortened during the Civil War Era to carbine
length for Cavalry use. We are including a cased buck
and ball which would have been very likely what would have
been fired from this weapon. It hasn't been cleaned at
all and remains just as it has come down through the
ages.--$650.SOLD
-
    Very
nice condition, .71 cal., Model 1851, Austrian carbine.
This example shows clear evidence of being carried, is
lockplate dated "1852", and remains in nice enough condition
to yet fire today. This is out of a deep South estate
and was no doubt Confederate carried.--$1,150.
-
  Confederate
"roller buckle" style belt rig out of a north Georgia estate.
On the belt rig, there remains a relic condition, .44 cal.,
Colt Army revolver holster. Belt rigs of this style were
extensively worn by Confederate forces, and we often find the
buckles in their camp sites. The leather belts
themselves were often repurposed horse harness leather.
We are including a copy of a photograph of a typical
Confederate wearing this type belt rig.--$595. complete with
holster.SOLD*
-
  Excellent
condition original tin of Civil War era percussion Revolver
caps. This would be an excellent compliment displayed
with your Civil War era percussion single shot pistol or
revolver. It was made by "Eley" of London.--$48.
-
      Relic
condition, large frame, .44 cal., Deane and Adams revolver.
This relic came out of a north Florida estate and was almost
surely Confederate carried. Although in relic condition,
it displays very impressively and would have no doubt been CS
carried.--$495.SOLD
-
      Very
attractive, 6 inch barrel, Model 1849, Colt .318 cal., 6-shot
pocket revolver. This revolver is out of a deep South
estate and was quite likely Confederate carried. It is
serial number 209433 which is most desirable 1861 production.
The revolver has a smooth, uncleaned, chocolate patina overall
and is marked, "Address Col. Saml. Colt - New York - US
America". The walnut grips are original and show nice,
even, honest wear. The main spring remains good and
strong, and the action advances properly some of the time and
some of the time it does not. This would be a very nice
addition to any Civil War collection and was very likely CS
carried.--$975.
-
      Very
attractive, big 12 mm, "E. Lefaucheux" pinfire revolver.
This revolver is out of a private museum in Arkansas and is
very similar to the pinfire revolver carried by General
"Stonewall" Jackson. It has intact both the loading door
and cartridge ejector rod which are often missing. The
lanyard ring on the butt is not present and the trigger
doesn't advance the cylinder "every time". This will be
a very nice addition to any Confederate display, and it is
extra nice in that it is BIG caliber and is actually "E.
Lefaucheux" marked.--$895.
-
   Excellent
condition, small 7 mm, Belgian Leige produced, 6-shot pinfire
revolver. This revolver has the folding trigger,
cartridge ejector rod, and loading door all completely intact,
and the action still works perfectly. Confederate
General Stonewall Jackson carried a pinfire revolver very much
like this one except a larger caliber. This revolver
would make a nice addition to any Confederate display.--$595.
-
 Beautiful
collection of 10 assorted size Civil War era French Pinfire
cartridges. The pinfires range in size from a tiny 5 mm

couple quite rare big old 15 mm. For the entire
collection of 10 pinfire cartridges in case.--$195.

 Nice
condition, excavated, folding Springfield combination gun
tool. This was recovered on private property among the
limestone rocks here at Stones River. It is hard to
believe, but the folding screwdriver blade can still be folded
with ease.--$45.
-
 About
30 years ago, it wasn't really uncommon to encounter one of
these. But, in recent times, you seldom see one offered.
This is an original 25 round, Requa - Billinghurst battery gun
clip. This clip is complete and will still hinge open
and closed. There has to be lots of Civil War artillery
and small arms collections that are missing one of
these.--$250.
-
    Model
1819, .54 cal., flintlock horse pistol that was converted to
percussion by Baker of North Carolina for the Confederacy.
The pistol is dated "1821" and is marked, "US S North MIDDLtn

Europe to use on his conversions, and this horse pistol has
the exact, correct Baker hammer. It has a chocolate
brown patina overall, and the action still works
perfectly.--$1,250.

bullet mold for a .36 cal. "SUGAR LOAF" pistol projectile.
I have only recovered rare Sugar Loaf projectiles from
Confederate campsites.--$175.
-
 Just
purchased out of a local Southern estate. This is a
folding BRASS double cavity bullet mold for a .32 cal. round
ball, and also for a .32 cal. elongated projectile. This
mold would make projectiles correct for the .32 cal. Colt
Pocket Model, or would fit any of the other .32 cal. Pocket
size revolvers.--$125.
-
   Very
pretty condition "COLT" marked double cavity bullet mold that
goes with the .32 cal. Model 1849 Colt Pocket Revolver.

 Original
twisted brown paper packet containing original Civil War
musket percussion caps. One of these packets of
percussion caps were packaged with each brown factory wrapped
package of 10 Civil War Minie Ball cartridges. EVERY
Civil War collection should have an original packet of musket
percussion caps.--$48.

condition, blacksmith made, "scissor type" bullet mold for a
single, .36 cal. pistol or musket ball. The mold has a
rich, aged patina and still works perfectly.--$85.
-
 Very
rare, double cavity, cast brass bullet mold for a "Sugar Loaf"
style projectile. This mold is approximately .48 cal.
and would have been likely used with a "Country Rifle".
I have only recovered a few "Sugar Loaf" type projectiles, and
every one that I have found has been from an early war
Confederate camp.--$150.
-
  Beautiful
condition scissor type cast brass double cavity bullet mold
for a .36 cal. Country Rifle. Many young Confederates
left home for the Civil War carrying the family Rifle as that
was all they had. Within the first year of the Civil War
these were all pretty much replaced by more conventional
military weapons. This is out of a local estate, and is
in near perfect condition.--$95.
-
 Quite
rare to find, non-excavated, .44 cal., Colt "Dragoon", double
cavity, folding, iron bullet mold. We have inserted two
original battlefield excavated Colt projectiles for nice
display.--$195.
-
  Very
nice condition, solid cast brass bullet mold for a .45 caliber
"country rifle" projectile. Country rifles were carried
from home by many young Confederates when they first left home
for the Civil War in 1861. We rarely find country rifle
projectiles in Confederate camps any later than 1863 because
of issue of more standard weapons. This mold still
operates perfectly and would yet mold bullets today.--$195.
-
  Extremely
rare to recover, excavated, single cavity bullet mold for the
.50 caliber Smith carbine. This bullet mold is out of
the nationally known Civil War author, Charlie Harris's,
collection. Although excavated, it remains in very nice
condition and will open and close with ease. This would
be a fine compliment to display with your Smith carbine or to
add to your Civil War excavated artifact collection.--$395.

rare, scissor type, Confederate used, .65 cal., Hanoverian
bullet mold. This rare mold remains in perfect condition

Charlie Harris. It will be a fine addition to any Civil
War collection.--$395.
-
  Super
rare and in drop-dead beautiful condition, original folding
scissor type, cast brass bullet mold for the Confederate used,
.69 cal., "Tower" bullet. Early in the Civil War, the
South traded cotton to England for .69 caliber Tower muskets
in an attempt to arm Southern Infantry troops. The
massive, .69 cal., Towers bullets are recovered in early war
Civil War sites such as Ft. Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, and
Stones River, but by mid-1863, most of the .69 cal. muskets
had been replaced by the .577 cal., 3-band, Enfield rifled
muskets. This example is the rarer, cone cavity variety
and is out of Civil War author, Charlie Harris's, personal
collection. In almost 50 years, this is the most perfect
condition, .69 cal., Towers bullet mold that I have
seen.--$950.
-
     Fresh
out of a Central Illinois estate, Model 1873, 45 - 70 caliber,
"trap door", Springfield rifle. This rifle has a smooth,
attic brown patina tip to tip and remains just as it has been
for many, many years. With the rifle, comes an original,
triangular, socket bayonet complete with a partial leather
scabbard. This old trap door rifle remains absolutely
untouched with tiny specks of paint where the rooms in which
it was stored have been painted several times over the years.
This is an historic, old, untouched, Model 1873, Springfield
trap door.--$850.

You won't see this one very often.--$350.
-
 Quite
rare and in excellent condition, Wilmot patented musket
tompion. This tompion is marked, "Patented November 24,

issued and used as I have seen three or four recovered
here.--$95.
-
 Single
cavity iron bullet mold for a .36 cal. country rifle elongated
"picket style bullet" of the exact type carried by many young
Confederates as they first left their homes in the South for
the Civil War. The mold would have originally had two
wooden handles which are not present, but could be easily
replaced.--only $79.
-
    Very
nice condition, original, non-excavated, 1864 date,
Springfield musket lockplate and hammer assembly. This
lockplate retains beautiful crisp marks,
and excellent action locking firmly into both half-cock and
full-cock positions. If you have an 1863 or 1864
Springfield musket that would be improved by a very nice
lockplate and hammer assembly, here is your opportunity to get
one.--$195.
-
 Quite
rare to find, complete mid-1800's DOUBLE leather shot flask.
This shot flask has two completely separate compartments with
two brass measuring devices so that you could have your choice
of two different size lead shot depending on what you were
hunting. It remains completely intact with original
brass buckle, and both measuring devices still have good
springs and work perfectly.--$115.

condition, cast brass, folding, double cavity bullet mold for

both worms.
