      Just
arrived today, very nice condition, double barrel percussion,
12-gauge shotgun of the exact type that was carried by many
Confederate Cavalry in the Civil War. The metal has a
smooth, gently aging, gray/brown patina, and the action on
both barrels still works perfectly. The original walnut
stock remains in perfect condition with fine checkering on
both fore-stock and wrist. We are going to include a
copy of a photograph of a Confederate Cavalryman carrying a
near identical weapon.--$595.SOLD
-
         Very
attractive London marked percussion double barrel 12 ga.
shotgun just brought in by a local family, and said to have
been carried by one of their ancestors in the Confederate
Cavalry. We are going to include pictures of a couple
Confederates carrying almost idenical weapons.--$450.SOLD
-
          Very
rare to find, nice condition, "1862 date", .58 cal.,
Springfield, 3-band, rifled musket. This musket was
recently purchased out of a Central Ohio estate sale. It
has smooth, clean metal with lockplate markings of, "1862 - US
- Springfield", and has a matching "1862" barrel date.
The action remains strong and perfect with a crisp, deep bore
remaining. The long range site, both sling swivels, and
original ramrod all remain intact. In addition, this
musket has an inlaid, original, Infantry bugle hat pin on the
right hand side of the stock. The purpose of this was to
allow the owner to easily recognize and identify his musket.
Many collectors consider the .58 cal., Springfield musket as
the classic musket of the American Civil War. This is a
dandy and would be a fine addition to any
collection.--$2,150.SOLD
-
        Original
.577 cal. Model 1864 Enfield-Snider 3-band percussion musket
(with the distinctive wide first barrel band.) This
musket belonged to a friend that recently passed away who was
into both Civil War collecting, actual musket firing, and
taking part in re-enactments. He actually carried this
original musket in the 100 year 1963 Battle of Gettysburg
re-enactment. With this musket comes a bullet mold, and
a bean can full of molded bullets. I am pricing this
original musket at LESS THAN what a good quality reproduction
is selling for !!!--$750. for musket - mold - and bullets
!!SOLD
-
     Very
rare and seldom offered for sale, .44 cal., massively heavy,
Colt 1st Model Dragoon revolver. This revolver shows
good, honest wear throuhgout and is serial number 4356.
The serial number is all matching except for the loading lever
which appears to be an era replacement. The revolver
displays beautifully with nice, even wear and rounded corners
indicating lots of actual field service. The revolver is
out of a San Antonio collection and quite likely saw much
service in that theater. The action still works nicely,
but the markings are worn quite dim requiring a bright light
and a good imagination. This massive, historic old
weapon will likely be the centerpiece of someone's antique
weapon collection.--$3,500.
-
    .32
cal. 6 shot "Luicius Pond" iron frame revolver. These
were Civil War era production rimfire revolvers, and were
eventually ruled an infringement on the Smith and Wesson
Patent and production stopped. This is an attractive
example, but is missing the trigger, and thus needs a little
TLC. Priced RIGHT though !!--$295.
-
          Attractive,
Civil War Era, percussion double barrel shotgun of the exact
type that many young Confederates left home for the war
carrying. This particular example has twisted barrels
for strength. There is a silver compartment for
percussion caps located on the underside of the stock.
The shotgun still functions nicely and has original percussion
caps inside. The stock has a very attractive look but
does have an old crack at the wrist repaired with dowel pins.
We are going to include a couple of photograph copies of
Confederates carrying this exact type weapon.--$450.(A really
great buy!!!)
-
   Nice
condition, .44 cal., single shot, percussion "boot pistol".
These little single shot percussion pistols were extensively
carried by both officers and enlistedmen as a last line of
defense during the Civil War. Almost every relic hunter
that has been at it awhile has recovered one or more of these.
This example has a smooth, aged, chocolate brown patina, and
the hammer still locks at both half and full cock. With
this little pistol, we are including a display containing an
original pistol ball and some original percussion caps.--$225.
-
    Quite
rare, Model 1819, .54 cal., smooth bore "horse pistol" that
was converted from flintlock to percussion for Confederate
Civil War use by M. A. Baker of Fayetteville, North Carolina.
M. A. Baker converted numerous early flintlock weapons from
flintlock to percussion using a distinctive method of screwing
a drum style bolster directly into the barrel and using an
early percussion fowling rifle type hammer that he purchased
from Europe. This ancient weapon remains totally
untouched just as it was used 150 years ago during the Civil
War. --$1,250.
-
          Absolutely
beautiful condition, .58 cal. Colt Special Model, contract,
3-band, rifled musket. This musket is out of the well
known Jim Brandon collection of Richmond, Virginia. It
is in absolutely spectacular condition and remains as bright
today as when issued during the Civil War. Jim was well
known for cleaning his weapons back to a state as bright and
shiny as they were 150 years ago. This example is just
that nice, and I am unsure whether the musket has been cleaned
and buffed or plated. All markings remain as deep and
sharp as during the Civil War. The lockplate is marked,
"Colts Pt. F.A. Mfg Co. (Firearms manufacturing company) -
1864". The stock retains two crisp inspector cartouches,
and the bore is so sharp that the musket appears to be near
unfired. This weapon would be a museum grade addition to
any Civil War collection.--$2,150.
-
    Extremely
rare, .69 cal., Model 1847, US Artillery Muskatoon that has
been blacksmith adapted to be a CS Cavalry carbine. The
carbine is fitted with a "Harpers Ferry" lockplate from a,
Model 1841 Mississippi rifle. The sling swivel bracket
on the bottom of the butt of the stock remains intact, but the
sling swivel itself if not present. This weapon
originally had a Springfield lockplate but was outfitted for
Confederate Cavalry use with a Harpers Ferry, Mississippi
rifle lockplate. The weapon has a great feel and would
have positively been an effective Cavalry carbine. We
are enclosing a small display case containing typical
ammunition for this weapon.--$975.
-
     Confederate
used and blacksmith fabricated, .58 cal. carbine created by
cutting back a .58 cal., 3-band, Infantry musket to carbine
length. The lockplate has a chocolate brown patina and
has never been cleaned. It is marked, "1864 - US -
Springfield." This came out of the local area and could
have very well been with the Confederate Cavalry at the Battle
of Franklin.--$695.
-
   Very
attractive, 1845 date, Allen & Thurber, .31 cal., 6-shot
revolver. It still has excellent action, original walnut
grips, and is marked, "Allen & Thurber - Allen's Patent -
1845". The revolver has a very nice, uncleaned,
chocolate brown patina overall.--$695.
-
  Very
attractive, complete, excavated, Colt Model 1862 Police
revolver. This is a quite rare recovery in that only
about 28,000 of this model was produced as compared to about
325,000 Colt Pocket Models produced. This revolver is a
5-shot, .36 cal., and is serial number 34785 which is 1865 -
1866 era production. The revolver was recovered near
Atlanta, Georgia, which would exactly fit that time frame.
One bullet has been inserted for display as well as an ivory
grip on the left side. Everything remains intact,
including loading lever, cylinder hammer, trigger guard, and
brass frame. This excavated Colt will make a fantastic
centerpiece for an excavated artifact collection.--$750.
-
  Really
pretty big 12mm French pinfire revolver. These were very
popular with Confederates (especially Confederate Officers)
during the Civil War, and we recover French pinfire cartridges
in almost every Confederate 1862 - 1863 winter campsite here.
This example functions perfectly, and has completely intact
all the items that one or more are typically missing --
(loading door - ejector rod - lanyard ring - etc.)
Confederate General T. J. (Stonewall) Jackson had one of these
very similar to this one. With this revolver I am
including an original Pinfire cartridge for display, but of a
different caliber than the gun to keep a child from being able
to load it up. Every Confederate display should have a
Pinfire Revolver.--$850.
-
 Excellent
display to compliment your Civil War musket or revolver.
This display has an original paper wrapped packet of musket
percussion caps and an original box of revolver percussion
caps. Both are presented in a glass display case.--$95
for both.SOLD
-
       Beautiful
condition, percussion, double barrel shotgun made by, "W.
Morton", and out of a local family. This is a 12-gauge
with some cased colors with original ramrod and also original
checkered wrist walnut stock. Both half-cock and
full-cock still work perfectly on both barrels. This was
just brought in by a local family and is believed to have been
Confederate Cavalry carried. It displays beautifully and
will be a fine addition to any Confederate collection.--$695.SOLD
-
 Very
nice condition, non-excavated, Springfield or contract, rifled
musket combination gun tool. This will be an excellent
compliment to display with your Civil War musket.--$65.
-
         Very
pretty, Model 1861, .58 cal., Norwich contract, 3-band, rifled
musket. The musket has smooth metal, just beginning to
turn gray/brown with age. The lockplate is marked, "1863
- Norwich - US", and the barrel has the normal markings and is
dated 1862. The original walnut stock remains in very
nice condition with a clear inspector cartouche opposite the
lockplate. This musket retains as crisp action as it
likely had 150 years ago, and the bore remains deep and sharp.
This musket is actually nicer than most that you see in
museums. This weapon is out of the well-known Jim
Brandon collection of Richmond, Virginia.--$1,850.
-
  Absolutely
beautiful intricately hand tooled Confederate hand made
leather holster correct for the .44 cal. Model 1860 Colt Army
revolver. This beautiful Confederate holster came in
without a revolver, and it is the revolver listed just below
that is displayed in the holster. You might have a .44
Colt of your own that you might want this holster for OR you
might want it with the revolver below just as displayed
!!--$695. for the Confederate holster alone.-SOLD
-
 Perfect
condition, original .58 cal. wooden tompion. If you have
a nice condition, original Civil War musket, here is an
excellent compliment for it.--$48.
-
 Original,
twisted cream colored paper packet of Civil War musket
percussion caps. A packet of percussion caps like this
came with each 10-count packet of Civil War bullets.
This will be an excellent compliment to display with your
Civil War musket.--$48.
-
  This
is a bullet mold that you seldom see offered for sale.
It is a "COLT" marked .28 cal. double cavity for the Colt
"Root" revolver. If you have a nice Colt Root - here is
your chance to add a correct bullet mold to your display.
You won't see this one very often.--$350.
-
       Quite
rare, 1862 date, "Special Model 1861" contract, rifle musket.
This musket has seen lots of service and has a chocolate brown
patina and lots of wear from tip to tip. The lockplate
is marked, "1862 - US - Windsor VT". The lockplate has
quite a bit of wear and a gray/brown patina, but the markings
can still be read. The walnut stock remains in nice
condition but does show similar wear with rounded edges and
typical small dings and marks. The action works well and
will lock firmly into both half-cock and full-cock. Both
sling swivels remain intact as does the original ramrod.
The long range site is not present and has been gone for many
years. The musket shows clear signs of having seen much
service but remains a rare contract and a nice, early, "1862"
date.--$975.
-
 Quite
rare and in excellent condition, Wilmot patented musket
tompion. This tompion is marked, "Patented November 24,
1863" (155 years ago tomorrow). These were actually
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, rare "E. Robinson" contract of the Model 1861,
percussion, 3-band, rifled musket. This musket has
smooth, clean metal just beginning to gently tone with age.
The lockplate is marked, "E. Robinson - New York - 1864 - US -
and the Eagle". The barrel has a matching 1864 date and
retains deep, sharp rifling. The action is crisp with
long range site, both sling swivels, and original ramrod all
remaining intact. The stock is all original and complete
with numerous small dings and marks from actual field service.
This is a quality condition, rare contract that will be a fine
addition to any Civil War firearms collection.--$1,850.
-
   Beautiful,
near mint condition, Model 1842, Springfield lockplate and
hammer assembly. The plate is marked, "Springfield -
1852 - US - and the American Eagle." If you have a Model
1842 musket that needs a nice lockplate, here is your
chance.--$195.
-
    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.
-
      Just
brought into the shop, Model 1841, "Robbins and Lawrence"
Mississippi rifle. This rifle has a smooth, thick, aged,
chocolate brown patina and has lockplate markings of, "Robbins
& Lawrence - 1850 - Windsor VT". The brass has a very
nice, aged, bronze patina. This rifle would have some
very interesting stories to tell in that the stock has at some
point been near a fire and is charred black between the two
barrel bands. It has good action, and the barrel was
bored to .58 cal. for service in the Civil War.
Mississippi rifles have always been a favorite among
collectors because of their Mexican War/Pre-Civil War history
and how attractive they are with the numerous brass pieces
including a brass patch box. This is a weapon that shows
clear evidence of having seen lots of service. Who knows
- the fire that it got too close to might have been a campfire
in Tennessee or possibly the burning of Atlanta.--$1,350.
-
 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.
-
   Beautiful
condition, 7 mm, folding trigger, French pinfire revolver.
The folding trigger and loading compartment door both remain
perfectly intact. In addition, on this revolver, the
cartridge ejector rod is screwed into the base of the grip,
and it remains intact as well. I am including a complete
pinfire cartridge for display, but it is the next size larger
so that a child cannot accidentally load and discharge the
gun. The original checkered walnut grips remain
perfectly intact.--$695.
-
  Nice
condition, cast brass, folding, double cavity bullet mold for
a .45 cal. picket country rifle. These are bullets that
we only recover from Confederate sites. This mold
remains in nice enough condition to mold bullets today.--$95.
-
 Perfect
condition, non-excavated, musket tumbler punch. It has
lots of original bluing remaining and will make an excellent
compliment to your Civil War musket display.--$65.
-
        Just
in out of the local area, .69 cal., Model 1842, 3-band,
percussion, Springfield musket. The metal remains clean,
just beginning to turn gray/brown with age. The
lockplate is marked, "Springfield - US - 1853 - and the
American Eagle." The barrel has an 1852 date. The
action remains crisp and strong and locks firmly at both
half-cock and full-cock. The walnut stock remains in
nice condition with the soldier's initials "H. T." cut into
the left-hand side opposite the lockplate. This is a
very representative weapon that both Union and Confederate
soldiers extensively carried during the early years of the
Civil War.--$1,450.
-
      Nice
condition, percussion, 12-guage, double-barrel shotgun of the
exact type carried by many Confederates when they first left
home for war during the early years of the American Civil War.
This example is out of the local area and has a beautiful,
aged, chocolate patina with ramrod intact and original walnut
stock. Pictured above is a Texas Confederate carrying a
nearly identical weapon during the early years of the American
Civil War.--$695.
-
 Beautiful
condition, non-excavated pair of .69 cal. bullet worms.
One of the worms is a long pattern, and the other a short
pattern. This display will make a wonderful compliment
to display with your .69 cal. percussion muskets.--$95 for
both worms.
-
   Quite
rare to find, an original Model 1842, complete lockplate and
hammer assembly with all internal parts. The lockplate
still functions perfectly and will lock at both full-cock and
half-cock. The lockplate is crisply marked, "Springfield
- 1851 - US - and the American Eagle." If you have a
Model 1842 Springfield musket with a "not-so-great" lockplate,
here is your chance to significantly upgrade your
musket.--$250.
-
 Attractive,
framed display containing several original Frankford Arsenal
musket percussion caps. Nicely displayed and ready to
hang.--$35.
-
 Excellent
condition, original Civil War Cavalry carbine bore brush.
The leather thong is complete with no breaks or weak spots,
and the bore hair brush has all bristles 100% intact.
This would be an excellent compliment to display with your
Civil War Cavalry carbine.--$89.
-
  Extremely
rare, and in mint condition, folding scissor type bullet mold
for the Hanovarian or Saxon projectile. 100% of these
type bullets that I have seen recovered have been from
Confederate sites. The projectile appears to be
approximately .50 cal.--$195.
-
        Model
1863, 3-band, .58 cal., Springfield rifled musket. This
musket has overall clean metal with a small amount of flash
around the nipple area. The lockplate is marked,
"Springfield - 1864 - US - and the American Eagle." The
musket has nice wood with normal wear and a faint inspector
cartouche opposite the lockplate. The mainspring remains
strong, and the hammer locks in both half-cock and full-cock
positions. There is a little bore remaining, but very
dirty, likely having not been cleaned in the last 100 years.
This is an attractive, honest, middle grade example of one of
the most famous muskets of the American Civil War.--$1,450.
-
  Beautiful
condition, cast brass, .32 cal., "Colts Patent" marked, double
cavity bullet mold, an excellent compliment to display with
your .32 cal., Model 1849, Colt Pocket Model revolver.--$175.
-
  Excellent
condition, non-excavated, heavy cast brass, single-cavity
bullet mold for making "country rifle" type bullets.
Many young Confederates, when they first left home for the
Civil War in 1861, left home carrying the family country
rifle, and in many cases, were forced to field mold ammunition
for these "brought from home" weapons. We have recovered
"country rifled" type bullets from Confederate camps dating at
least to the end of 1863. This is a quite heavy brass
bullet mold and has enough brass to make at least two or three
CSA rectangle buckles.--$175.
-
        Very
attractive "Special Model 1861" .58 cal., "S. Norris & W.T.
Clements for Massachusetts", 1863 date, 3-band percussion
rifled musket. The metal has a smooth, gently aging,
gray/brown patina with an 1863 date on the lockplate and an
1864 date on the barrel. The main spring remains strong
and the musket locks in both half-cock and full-cock
positions. Both sling swivels , long range site,
and original ramrod remain intact, and a good, crisp bore
remains. The wood remains in nice condition with a
faintly visible inspector cartouche, and the normal dings and
marks from actual field service. There is a small sliver
of wood missing from just beneath the lockplate. This is
a quality condition musket and shows evidence of just good,
honest, actual Civil War field service.--$1,450.
-
       Just
in out of the local area - .69 cal. Model
1842 Springfield percussion musket.
The metal has a dark chocolate brown attic
patina with lockplate markings of "1855 -
Springfield - and U.S.". There is some
pitting around the nipple area from having
seen lots of field service. The wood
is a very dark red-brown color and has the
expected numerous small dings and marks from
lots of actual field service. The
mainspring is still strong as can be and the
hammer sets solidly at both half cock and
full cock. This one is a smoothbore
and would have fired both musket balls and
"buck and ball". This is a very
typical antequated weapon that the Southern
Infantry was armed with through much of the
Civil War, and considering the area here
where the musket came from - was almost
certainly Southern carried and is going to
look great on someone's wall.--$1,295.
-
      Nice
condition, .58 cal., 3-band, percussion
"1861 Special Model", rifled musket.
The lockplate is marked "L.G.&Y. - US -
1862". The metal has a smooth, gently
graying, aged patina, and the stock remains
in nice condition with two visible inspector
cartouches. The action works perfectly
at both half-cock and full-cock, and the
main spring is about as strong as the day it
was made. The bore has good rifling
and would quite likely still shoot
accurately; although I do not recommend
firing original weapons. The long
range site, original ramrod, and both sling
swivels all remain intact.--$1,450.
-
 Group
of 7 assorted musket parts that are either
non-excavated or are early pick-ups or
recoveries, and still remain in nice enough
condition to use on a musket today.
There are {2} .58 cal. Springfield or
contract musket breechplugs - one brass
Mississippi trigger guard - {1} .58 cal.
Springfield trigger guard - one cast brass
Enfield nose cap {1} one .69 cal. Model 1816
musket buttplate and {1} cast brass trigger
guard to an unknown musket. A real
bargain !!--$195. for all
-
      Quite
scarce .58 cal. "Providence Tool Co." - 1863 date Model 1861 3-band
contract rifled musket. This musket shows clear signs of having
really been carried A LOT. The metal has a smooth dark, attic brown
patina with lockplate markings of "Providence Tool Co. - Providence, R.I.
- 1863". The markings are all visible, but worn down quite a bit
from use. The wood shows lots of use as well with corners rounded
and all the normal bumps and bruises of a carried weapon. The
inspector's cartouche is worn, but you can still faintly make it out.
It is missing the rear sling swivel and has a "home grown" rear site.
This is a good, honest rare contract Civil War musket that without
question "Saw The Elephant".--$1,150.
