Out of print, but we have
one copy: UNITED STATES MILITARY SMALL ARMS, 1816 - 1865 Robert Reilly. One of the best ever reference works for weapons of the Civil War. Bob Reilly was a talented technical artist as well as a knowledgeable gun collector, so he combined those interests in his books that describe the important and often defining details of historic weapons in both words and detailed drawings. A large format book 9" x 13" with 275 pages of drawings that show more detail than photos would, and great descriptive text. Covers muskets, rifle-muskets, rifles, carbines and handguns of the U.S. in sharp detail. This one is used (since this is a book that you should use!) but solid with no torn or missing pages. The dust cover is there, but it does show some wear.. $45.00 |

EXCAVATED TEXAS STAMPED BRASS PIN Approximately 2-1/2" diameter and made of heavy stamped brass, with the outer circle being convexed so that it is raised in the middle. There are a couple of dings and several of the star points are cracked where they meet the circle, but the pin is still solid overall. We know of a couple of these that have come out of Texas camps, but don't know that they were used exclusively by troops of that state. There is a life size example of one in Civil War Relics of the Western Campaigns 1861-1865 by Charles S. Harris. you can lay this one on top of the one in the Harris book and they match exactly! Interestingly, the one in the book (dug in a Texas camp) only has two solder spots, while this one has four. We've also seen one on line that had three spots! SOLD!!! |

EXCAVATED CAVALRY CROSSED SABERS Nice, complete set of these stamped brass insignia.

On the other hand, Lon Kiem's Confederate General Service Accoutrement Plates has a near exact match for this buckle in figure 336 on page 209! $ 1295.00 |

Rare!! EXCAVATED CONFEDERATE NAVY "SHIP BUTTON" CS-68
Backmark: E.M. Lewis & Co./ Richmond 24mm Coat size. Note that while the shank appears to be gone, there is something rattling around inside the button and could very well be the original shank that fell in when the solder failed. This super rare and desirable button was found on April 11th 2020 in a small Georgia camp in Fredericksburg (photos of recovery are posted). The camp only has 4 or 5 huts that can be seen today. As far as we know the buttons came off a coat of a naval officer who likely served aboard a CSN ship. Once a ship sank or was captured any survivors were reassigned to other units, some in the Navy and others into land units. Many were sent to units from their home state. As of this writing new houses are being built on top of this camp & before next spring the camp will be underneath the yards of new houses. Sad but true ... Reduced price!! $ 3295.00 On Hold!!! |

EXCAVATED RHODE ISLAND ID DISC
The dug and cleaned brass disc is hand engraved with a name at the top that is unreadable due to corrosion. Under that is a large "1" and "6th RI Vol(s)" over "1861".A quick internet search shows that the 6th Rhode Island " failed to complete organization", so maybe this guy started out with the 6th and went into the 1st RI which would explain the big "1". If we could read his name it would answer a lot of questions, and maybe further research could reveal more. $ 495.00 |

IMAGE OF NEW YORK SOLDIER WITH "SNY" BUCKLE Nice 1/6th plate tintype of a seated soldier in a frock coat proudly displaying his "SNY" (State of New York) belt buckle. The buckle is worn upside down because the soldier knew that the photography methods of the day resulted in the reversal of the finished image. By inverting the buckle, he at least kept the "S" on the left in the final picture. The backdrop is a camp scene with a US flag as well as tents and a cannon. His right eye is interesting as it appears to be discolored and off center. Perhaps a wound? The case is also outstanding, being a molded thermoplastic, or gutta percha with a label that reads: "Genuine / Union Case label / Improved / Fine Gilt and Burnished / Hinge / Scovill Mf'g Co." The case is also a more uncommon brown color and features a patriotic scene on both sides with crossed cannon, shields, a liberty cap, pennants and flags. It's a beauty! $ 695.00 |

OF LORD HORATIO NELSON Nelson was noted for his inspirational leadership, grasp of strategy, and unconventional tactics, which together resulted in a number of decisive British naval victories, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars.

He was shot and killed during his final victory at the Battle of Trafalgar near the port city of Cádiz in 1805. The beautiful frame is about 5-1/2" x 4-1/2" and the painting is about 3-1/2" x 2-3/4"and is protected by a slightly convex cover glass. $ 550.00 |

UNION .69 CALIBER CARTRIDGE BOX FOR RIFLED MUSKET
This throwback to pre-war caliber ammunition was made in response to Lincoln's call for an additional 500,000 troops in July of 1864, which created a shortage of arms and equipment. The Ordnance Department brought out from storage some .69 caliber rifled muskets that had been replaced by the .58 caliber guns. New, larger cartridge boxes were required for these guns. This one was made by Rueben Nece & Company in Philadelphia, and has U.S. inspector's marks. $ 595.00 |

19TH CENTURY
CASED SET OF THUMB LANCETS, OR FLEAMS, Dated 1837 and ID'd to "J. D. Ward" Small (about 2-1/2" tall) flip-top container made of paper mache' with a cool built up hard painted surface. The interior is divided to hold four folding lancets (knives) with tortise shell handles that when unfolded are about 2-1/2" long. While many of the larger fleams that we see were sometimes used for veterinary work, the "thumb lancet" as seen here was definitely intended for the purpose of medical bloodletting on humans! This was done when your doctor determined that your illness resulted from an imbalance of the fluids in your body, and the remedy was to reduce the amount of your blood! Lancets like these were also used by some doctors for vaccinations. The blades here are marked "W&H / Hutchinson / Sheffield" who was a Surgical Instrument Maker to the Royal Navy based in Sheffield, England, and also sold surgical instruments to the Union and Confederate Armies during the US Civil War. A silver plaque on the top is engraved with the owners name: "J.D. Ward" and dated "1837". This is a cool medical artifact in pretty much mint condition! $ 495.00 (35-32) |
