CSBP 1. Confederate Enlistedman's Belt Plate.
Rare variant of the "Atlanta Arsenal" style CSA Rectangle. This type is illustrated on page 59 of Mullinax's buckle book. Formerly in the collection of Lewis Leigh. This plate was on a Yankee belt when I bought it. If you have a Confederate leather or pigskin belt, you would be in business.
$2995.00
CSBP 2. Confederate Enlistedman's Accoutrement Belt.
Yet another war trophy taken up North by the Yankees. This belt has been in a Michigan collection for almost 50 years. The "Port Hudson" style CS Belt Plate is in excellent condition and still has traces of the original black paint on it. The Confederate pigskin belt seems to have been with it from the beginning.

CC 1. Confederate States $10.00 note.

WP 1. Dug M-1860 Colt Army Revolver .44 Cal.
Complete except for the wedge. Early battlefield find from Atlanta, GA. Serial # 120477 places it's production to 1863. Revolver is fully loaded. This bad boy will grab some attention in any relic room. One of the best battlefield Revolvers I've seen.
$1950.00
WP 2. M-1860 Spencer Rifle.
If you are looking for a Spencer Rifle in mint condition, here it is. Serial # 7848 places it's production to 1863 and is in the range for those issued to the 8th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. This one had to have seen very light or no action at all because the wood bears only minor service marks and the rifling is razor sharp. Action is smooth. The stock has a clear cartouche and has been very lightly varnished.
SOLD
WP 3. .58 Cal. M-1861 Springfield Rifle Musket.
1862 dated Springfield in excellent condition. This weapon was the backbone of the Union Armies. Metal is smooth. The barrel has good rifling. Normal service dings on the stock. Cartouches are clear but barrel date is only partially legible.
Overall a very nice Civil War Springfield.
$2250.00
WP 4. .69 Cal. M-1842 Harper's Ferry Musket.
Outstanding condition in every respect. All markings are crisp including the cartouche and the 1844 barrel and lock dates. Original ramrod. A "21" and "D" are stamped on the stock, probably rack # or regiment designations. I will let the pictures speak for themselves on this fantastic Harper's Ferry Musket.
$3250.00
WP 5. Model #2 "Old Army" Smith and Wesson Revolver and 6th plate Tintype.
.32 Cal. Marked on the side of the barrel is "MANUFACTURED FOR KITTREDGE AND CO. CINCINNATI, OHIO" . The revolver is in very good condition with some original blue finish. The metal is mostly smooth with some pin prick pitting. The Rosewood grips are super nice. The 7140 serial # places it in the range of those issued to the U.S. 7th KY Cavalry. The image is unidentified and shows a Union Cavalryman holding an "Old Army" Smith and Wesson Revolver. Both pieces came from the same collection but I have no way of knowing if the Revolver actually belonged to the soldier. Great grouping nonetheless.
$2995.00
WP 6. M-1860 Colt .44 Cal. Army Revolver. Real solid and untouched Colt Army with a fair amount of cylinder scene, all matching #'s, cartouche and clear barrel address. The 62141 Serial number places it's production to 1862. The Revolver also indexes well. If you want an honest Civil War Colt Army that is reasonably priced, here it is.
$2250.00
ART 1. Dug 2.75" Whitworth Bolt.
Very good condition with minor pitting. These are getting harder to come by. This one was probably brought through the blockade as it does not have the lathe chatter present on the cruder CS made ones.
