Excellent
condition, excavated, regulation, Federal
Cavalry spur. This spur was recovered on
private property from Camp Stanley, which was
the 1863 Federal Cavalry winter camp here at
Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The spur has an
interesting modification in that the standard

brass, spike like object. Apparently

REALLY
COOL excavated Model 1842 .69 cal. entire
musket. The musket was recovered on
private property near New Kent Courthouse, VA.
The musket has been intentionally disabled by
wrapping it around a tree. It is
displayed in a very creative manner showing
exactly what occurred. This artifact
will need to picked up here at the store for a
couple of reasons. One, and the most
obvious, is that it is freaking huge,
measuring approximately 4 feet by almost 2
feet. Secondly, I am convinced that it
would destroy the display.--$495.
