This
is a cool Mississippi Confederate coat button with the ''Hyde and
Goodrich / N.O. back mark. This button has the ''I'' in the
center of the star denoting Infantry. This button has a few
dents but displays wonderful. When excavated the original
shank seen was in the hole but not attached. It has been
placed back on and looks wonderful. This is a nicely priced
Mississippi button. $145.
-
This
is a great large sized Cavalry martingale. This fine example
was excavated in a Federal Cavalry campsite in Collierville,
Tennessee. When excavated there was a little rim damage on the
lower half. The top rim from the 10:00 position to the
2:00 position was all there as well as the integrity of the complete
heart. Just the rim was repaired from the 10:00 down and the
2:00 down. This is a great Cavalry relic that looks great and
priced wonderful. $395.

This
is a beautiful and quite rare 22mm South Carolina local coat button.
This button adorns a smooth brown patina and there is not one dent
in it. The shank is missing but the condition more than makes
up for that. A great southern made button that anyone
would be proud to own. $170.

.38 Confederate foreign mold pistol bullet. Excavated in
Virginia. $35.
-
This
is a nice Confederate wreath portion to a Virginia style ''CS''
tongue and wreath buckle. It was excavated with out the keeper
portion and only the wreath remains. This would still look
lovely with a correct ''CS'' tongue. Excavated at Richmond,
Virginia. $275.

Here
is a bullet that you may not have in your collection. This is
a (M&M # 349) .577 French Triangle base bullet. They are a bit
rarer than the .69's. This came from a Virginia bullet
collection. $30.
-
This
is a very rare bullet mold. This is a .36 caliber Confederate
copy of the Colt double mold for the conical and round ball.
This crude mold looks to have been severely struck causing the
handle to bend and break. This relic adorns a pretty green
patina and was excavated in Forrest's and Van Dorn's campsite in
Spring Hill, Tennessee. $150.
-
This
is a cool little oddity. A field made spur dug in one of Jeb
Stuart's Cavalry camp in Virginia. It would not have been
strong enough to hold up under hard usage. It was made from
brass banding that has been riveted together and a field made rowel
is screwed in place. This is a nice inexpensive conversation
relic. $55.
-
This
is a great M&M#199 Garibaldi. These bullets are quit
frequently found in North Carolina camps. This lovely example
was also found in a North Carolina campsite in central Virginia by
Larry Hicklen a few years back. A nice addition to a bullet
collection. $49.

This
is a great civilian style rosette found in a Confederate Cavalry
campsite in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This relic has a great
pea green patina and a small partial amount of the iron back which
has mostly rusted away. Nice Cavalry relic. $30.
-
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.

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.

There
were many great relics out of the Shiloh collection that I
purchased, but I do believe this is one of the neatest. It is
a crude field made waist belt buckle that has ''southern'' written
all over it. The buckle measures 2'' wide and 1-1/4'' tall and
has a iron fork type tongue. This is a rarity you may never
see again and no doubt a poor Reb's camp made necessity. $75.
-
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.
-
Nice
hard to find .54 caliber Wilkerson pattern bullet. These are
associated with North Carolina troops. There are a few scars
but it displays well and is priced wonderfully. $40.
-
Great
example of a very rare Georgia tongue portion of a Georgia local
belt plate. Note the crude casting of the southern
manufacturing process. This plate has a nice woodsy brown
patina and is solid. With the right wreath this is a $5000
belt plate. This is a fine example of Georgia pride excavated
at Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia. $1395.

This
is a beautiful unmarked ''Memphis Novelty Works'' Confederate
Cavalry saber in an original Confederate brass mounted scabbard.
The brass mounts have a lovely aged patina as well as the Memphis
''butter knife'' guard and pommel. At some point during the
war the Cavalry horse went down causing the branch on the guard to
bend inward. This gives the sword great character in my opinion and
is pleasing to the eye. This saber retains the original wrap.
The original wire was fragmented and has been replaced. The
blade has the classic unstopped fuller with a smooth gray patina and
a few small service dings. This sword was purchased from the
Lee Hadaway collection in Virginia. This is a 100% authentic
Memphis Novelty sword and will be accompanied by a letter of
authenticity. $5,895.
