Recently brought into the shop - A COOL - COOL "Upside Down" U.S. belt rig with an excellent CONFEDERATE MANUFACTURE cap box.  It was a common practice among Confederate soldiers due to lack of actual Southern made supplies to wear a captured "U.S." belt rig upside down turning it into a "SN" (Southern Nation).  This is a beautiful example of just such a Southern adapted belt rig and the C.S. manufactured cap box is a very nice example.  I will pass along family name to the buyer.  Over the years I have run into several cartridge boxes with the upside down plate as well.--$950. (With the value about equally divided between the U.S. belt rig and the C.S. made cap box)SOLD

Non-excavated, small size, drum style tin canteen.  This canteen came out of the local Middle Tennessee area and is believed to have been Confederate carried.  The size is so small that I suspect it might have carried something other than water.  The canteen's appearance is much like a standard tin Confederate drum style canteen, except it is about 1/2 the size.--$150.SOLD

Quite rare, non-excavated, Civil War Era, pewter medical syringe.  We have excavated several identical syringes from the Union and Confederate 1862-1863 winter camps here.  They were used for irrigation and for spraying powders.  This example is identical to the one pictured in Medical Instruments and Equipment of the Civil War, by Dr. Gordon Dammann.  This will make an excellent addition to someone's Civil War medical display.--$275.
