Dixieland Civil War Relics
Firearms

  1. This is a wonderful Civil War period double barrel shotgun.  The metal is smooth and the stock is in good shape with some nice checkering.  Many a southern man went to war on his own horse and with his own gun.  This gun was purchased from a Virginia estate sale.  $495.

  2. This is a great large Cavalry 12mm pin fire pistol.  It is the desirable French Lefaucheux and has the correct LF markings. This gun has some plusses and minuses.  The tip of the hammer is broken from usage, the ram rod is absent, and the once present lanyard ring is missing.  The cylinder rotates on this gun but the inner spring mechanism is worn out.  The plus side is that the metal has a smooth grey patina, the walnut grips are in nice shape.  There is a pretty scroll work to this pistol.  The loading gate is present and accounted for.  This is a over all beautiful gun that for around $150. could be brought back as good as new.  The gun is beautiful as is and will not cost you 1,200. - 1,400.  I am pricing this gun for the collector who sees true potential in a fine firearm.  $495.

  3. This is a desirable looking attic condition Civil War period double barrel shotgun.  The wood stock is in good shape and has a nice checkered design.  There is some pitting around the nipples from muzzle flash. Many of these type weapons went to war with Confederate Cavalrymen.  The verbal history is that this gun came from a estate sale in Virginia.  SOLD

  4. Super nice all original 1849 5" barrel length .31 caliber Colt revolver.  All matching serial numbers 235142 that makes it an 1863 production date.  The cylinder retains about 75% of the Stage Coach hold-up scene.  The action is as crisp as the day it was produced.  The plunger works very smooth and locks back in place like new.  Brass has nice aged patina with the metal nice and no pitting.  It does have a few small dings on the barrel.  The original walnut grips are in great condition.  Colt patent marks are very visible on the barrel and cylinder.  This is an all around nice Colt for any collection.  $1050.

  5. Here is a decent gun that has seen a lot of action.  This .44 caliber Colt Army has matching serial numbers of #45919 making the production date 1862.  The action is weak but works in all positions.  The walnut grips are in decent shape with a raised five pointed star.  The metal is somewhat pitted with a orange peel texture.  This is a heavily used gun that wont break the bank.  $1095.

  6. Here is a cool looking revolver that you do not see every day.  This is a .36 caliber English belt revolver made by ''Thurber''.  You can see the Birmingham proofs throughout the gun.  The top of the barrel is marked Thurber / London.  The action works wonderfully, and the original grips are in great shape.  Lots of our southern men carried this style revolver during the war.  This great weapon came from an estate sale in North Georgia.  $775.

  7. This is a very nice 1849 pocket model colt with a very desirable long 6'' barrel and a Hartford address. This fine pistol is all original with the matching serial numbers through out including the wedge.  The serial number is 204188 which is an 1862 production.  The brass has a lovely mellow patina and the metal has a nice aged look.  The original walnut grips are in great shape and the action works well.  Hartford Colts are getting harder to come by. SOLD

  8. This is a very beautiful .36 caliber Whitney Navy revolver.  The barrel is marked ''E. Whitney / N. Haven''.  The metal has a  smooth aged patina and the original grips are in wonderful condition with minor service dings.  The action works perfectly and indexes perfect with every pull of the trigger.  Here is your chance at a all original matching Whitney Navy that is top shelf quality.  SOLD

  9. This is a drop dead Georgiou's model 1816 Harpers Ferry .69 cal. musket.  This is an early conversion from a flint lock to percussion.  As you can see the lock plate is dated 1824 and the markings stand out wonderfully.  This musket has the standard US marks on the lock and butt plate, the VP over the eagle is stamped on the barrel.  There is what I believe to be a rack # on the stock, or could be inspectors marks.  The metal is nice and smooth with a great even aged patina.  This is one of the prettiest 1816's I have seen in a long time with a very desirable maker.  SOLD

  10. This is without a doubt the most beautiful 1851 London Navy Colt I have ever possessed.  London was contracted through Colt to manufacture this .36 caliber Navy revolvers.  It carries the Colt patent on the side of the frame.  The London's adorn an all steel frame, trigger guards and back strap.  This Colt has everything you look for in a fine weapon.  For instance, smooth metal throughout, the original grips with most of the varnish still intact, and a very visible cylinder scene.   The serial number is "41672" which gives this a late 1850's production date probably 1857 or 1858.  The serial numbers match throughout the gun with the exception only of the wedge which is not at all uncommon.  A lot of the early model Hartford Colts and London Colts where sent South before the onset of the Civil War.  This is an exceptionally nice Colt with nothing to apologize for and is in a class with the finest of Colts.SOLD
