Civil War Weapons

WP 1. Nice M-1859 Brass Mounted Sharps Cavalry Carbine .52 Cal. Likely State of Georgia Contract.

Serial # 30125. Extraordinary carbine with probable Confederate use. When encountered, these scarce guns are usually in worn out condition. Not this one. Only 3000 of these were produced with 1600 being sold directly by Sharps to the State of Georgia. Another 400 were purchased by Georgia from other retailers. Condition: Smooth metal with an untouched graying patina. No pitting. Sharps Patent markings present and legible on barrel and both sides of the lock plate. Lever action, trigger, and hammer mechanism works flawlessly. All screws original and unmolested. Clean breech and block. Bore is well defined and clean. Long range flip sight present with Lawrence Patent stamp visible underneath. Stock has a dark finish which contrasts nicely with the brass hardware. Only minor service wear and handling marks. Very good, un-sanded edges. No repairs, major cracks or missing wood. Notice pronounced saddle wear to one side of the stock. No US Military Inspector’s Cartouche above the saddle ring bar which is correct on the carbines sold to Georgia and other Southern States including Virginia and South Carolina. This carbine saw a lot of riding, and some combat, but was very well taken care of.

WP 2. Presentation US Field and Staff Officer’s Sword with Battle Honors. Col. George Humphrey, 88th Indiana Vol. Infantry Regt.

Col. George Humphrey was born in Ayrshire Scotland on the 2nd of February, 1825. At some point his family emigrated to Indiana and settled in Fort Wayne. His military career began in the Mexican War. When the American Civil War broke out, Humphrey enlisted in the 12th Indiana Vol. Infantry as a Major on May 15, 1861. He was promoted to Colonel of the 88th Indiana Vol. Infantry Regt. on August 21, 1862. He led his regiment with distinction at the Battle of Perryville KY. (Chaplin Hills) on Oct. 8, 1862, and suffered a would to the shoulder at the Battle of Stones River. (complications from this wound are suspected as his cause of death in 1886). Humphrey switched gears and was commissioned a Colonel in the 139th Indiana Vol. Inf. Regt. on June 7th, 1864. He served with this regiment until mustered out on Sept. 29, 1864. Here is a link to Humphrey’s “Find a Grave” page where you can see a wartime photo of Humphrey and photos of his grave memorial. : https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26148388/george-humphrey This fine sword was produced by W. Clauberg and is marked so on the ricasso. Notice exceptionally rich decoration on the gold plated hilt, blade and the scabbard. Pure silver grip retains its original braided brass wire wrap. Throat washer present. Blade is bright and smooth with no nicks or oxidation. Note deep engraving with script “US” on one side and the Federal Eagle with ribbon on the other. The silver plated scabbard is remarkable with ornate gold mounts and drag. Note elongated Federal Shield motif with 34 stars. Engraved in a ribbon on the scabbard is “As a token of esteem for our Commander Col. George Humphrey, and in admiration for log and Gallant service, this is presented by the Officers & Soldiers of the 88 Ind. Vols.” Above the shield is another engraving with Battle Honors “Chaplain Hills, Oct. 8, 62″/Stone River Dec. 31, Jan. 1, 2″ & 3, 62-3”. One of the things I really like about this sword, is that it was obviously carried in the field and not sent home in a box. It was very likely a mute witness to the savage Battle of Chickamauga, as well as the Chattanooga Campaign, and the Atlanta Campaign. An original detailed account of Humphrey’s application for a disability pension is included that features doctor’s reports on his wound and the account of his untimely death in 1886.

WP 3. Exceptional 1858 Dated M-1855 Harper’s Ferry Brass Mounted Rifle .58 Cal.

The M-1855 Rifles and Rifle Muskets are best known for their implementation of the Maynard tape priming system. The Harper’s Ferry brass mounted rifle is rare. Very few of these guns survived, most being burned by the Federals on April 18, 1861. They set fire to the armory to prevent its capture by advancing Confederate Forces. A few were found in good condition and distributed to the Confederate Army. Most saw very hard use. The condition of this example is superb. Metal surfaces are smooth with traces of original factory finish here and there, but mostly turning to a plum colored patina. Lock functions crisply and is clearly marked “U.S.”/ HARPER’S FERRY” and “1858”. Long range sight is present and original with some factory finish. Matching 1858 barrel date, and Eagle Head/VP Proof observed on the breech. Bore is clean with well defined rifling. Saber bayonet lug present. Spare nipple in the patchbox along with a “Figure 8” sharpshooter’s sight (reproduction). Both brass barrel bands are original with sling loops present. Original ramrod present, full length, and threaded at the tip. Fine looking stock has good edges with very minor service wear and dings. The flat opposite the lock does not appear to have been cartouched which indicates that it may have been a State contract gun. No repairs, chatter, cracks, or missing wood. I have a matching Harper’s Ferry saber bayonet that is available if interested.

WP 11. M-1858 Smith Cavalry Carbine .50 Cal.

Another classic American Civil War Carbine that saw widespread use. in all theaters. It was unique in that it initially used a rubber cased cartridge, and later a foil and paper cartridge produced by Poultney. Condition is excellent. Serial #11358.

One very minor sliver of wood appears to have been skillfully added to toe on one side. These cartridge revolvers were popular with officers and enlisted men that could afford them. I found one of the distinctive Plant cup-fire cartridges while metal detecting in a Confederate camp, so evidently some Confederates carried them too.

WP 14. Rare Military Inspected M-1855 Colt Revolving Rifle .44 Cal.

One of the most iconic weapons of the American Civil War. Only 100 of these .44 Cal. Colt Revolving Rifles were ordered by the US Military, and this is one of the few survivors. What is more, this one may be in the best condition of the survivors. All matching serial #71 present on frame, barrel, and butt-plate. Gunmetal clean and smooth with no pitting. Consistent and untouched gray turning plum patina. Traces of factory blue finish on the frame and some recesses. Cylinder indexes properly, hammer/trigger mechanism is tight. Upper tang stamped with “COLT’S PATENT” and “U.S.’” Military acceptance mark. Note spurs on both sides of the trigger guard which is a characteristic unique to the .44 Cal. Revolving Rifle. Original long range flip-sight and cleaning rod present for duty. All screws original, and in great condition with little buggering. Bore is clean with strong rifling. Stock is also remarkable with only very neglible service wear and dings. No repairs, missing wood, or cracks. Note clear US Military Inspectors Cartouches on each side of the wrist. The Colt revolving rifles were particularly favored, and available to the Confederate Volunteers. Notably, the Colonel of Maney’s 1st Tenn. Infantry Regt, Hume R. Field carried one, and was described by Sam Watkins as “an officer that did as much shooting as the private soldier”. One particular Federal unit that carried the Colt Revolving Rifles was the 21st Ohio Vol. Infantry Regt. They stymied the Confederate tide at the Battle of Horseshoe Ridge (Chickamauga), allowing Gen. George Thomas’ army to escape disaster. I am also offering an 8th Plate Tintype of a Southern or Mid-Western Volunteer posing with an identical .44 Cal. Colt Revolving Rifle. He is also armed with a Bowie Knife, and Colt Army Revolver in a “Slim Jim” holster. Any Civil War photo of a soldier carrying a Colt Revolving Rifle is extremely rare. This fine Colt will be a fantastic addition to even the most advanced Civil War firearms collection.

CWI 1. Fantastic 8th Plate Tintype of a Confederate or Western Militia Volunteer Armed with a M-1855 Colt Revolving Rifle, Bowie Knife, and Remington Army Revolver.

This fierce volunteer is armed to the teeth, and is sporting a Mexican War “Wheel Hat”. Image was taken at a high quality studio and has been professionally tinted. Portrait is full length, and clearly shows his M-1855 Colt Revolving Rifle which is identical to the one we have listed above. He is drawing a classic Bowie Knife, and on his belt, you can clearly see a Remington Army Revolver in a “Slim Jim” holster. Photo is clear. There is some light bends to the tin and a spot of bubbling on lower right plain field. Very minor issues but mentioned for exactitude. The content of the image is most remarkable and the subject reminds me of identified early war portraits from Kansas, Missouri, Texas, or Arkansas. Housed in original leatherette case which has separated.

WP 15. Classic M-1860 Colt Army Revolver .44 Cal. with Holster.

Frame to barrel fit is tight. Cylinder rotation and trigger mechanism functions properly. Bore is clean and well defined. “Naval Battle of Campeche” cylinder scene is very good.

WP 16. US M-1850 Field and Staff Officer’s Sword by Ames, Martially Inspected and Dated 1862.

This is a really rare sword. Only 162 of these swords were purchased by the US Ordnance department in 1862. This one bears the inspector mark of Alfred D. King (A.D.K.) on one side of the ricasso, and is dated “1862” on the other. Condition is mint/unissued. Ornate guard is completely slathered in blazing gold plating and has “US” cut out in the design. Original sharkskin grip and braided wire wrap intact and superb. Blade is factory bright with frosting among the floral patterns, patriotic motifs and correct block “US”. No pitting or nicks. Scabbard condition matches the sword with bright gold plating on the mounts, throat and drag. Some of these Ames scabbards are marked with the Ames address, some are not. This one is not marked.

Note lavish engraving on German Silver insets and trigger guard. Stock is near perfect with only some very minor wear. No missing wood, cracks, putty, or repairs of any kind. This is the same type of gun used by John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. A Civil War period CDV of Booth is included.

$3250.00

WP 18. Minty US M-1860 Light Cavalry Saber Produced Under Contract by C. Roby.

Top of the line Roby contract cavalry saber. Original leather grip and wire wrap is immaculate. There is an original Civil War period leather portepee attached to the guard.

WP 19. US M-1861 Springfield Rifle Musket found “In A Cave Beside a Man’s Bones”.

Metal surfaces are smooth with evidence of old cleaning. Minor oxidation near the nipple and on the butt-plate. 1862 Barrel date partially visible. Clear “VP”/Eagle head inspection proofs on breech. Bore has strong rifling. Original long range leaf sight present, as is the original ramrod. Stock retains sharp edges and raised wood grain. There are some scattered scuffs and a dent adjacent to middle barrel band. Very faint outline of US Inspector’s Cartouche on flat opposite the lock. Original army issue leather sling is present and in good shape. At one time, this gun was on display in a museum. There is an old collection tag on the butt-stock that reads: “No. 25. U.S. Springfield Musket stamped 1862, was found by A.S. Archison? (possibly Archibald) in a cave beside a man’s bones in California.” You can only imagine the story behind this situation. Did the man die of thirst or hunger? A snake bite? Killed by Indians? We may never know.

WP 20. Confederate “Corn Pone” Enlisted Man’s Cavalry Saber.

Scarce Confederate saber with distinct flat brass guard and long grip. Note simple pommel. There are only traces of the thin leather wrap intact. Mostly worn down to the wood. Original single strand iron wire wrap is present. Blade is smooth with a graying patina. Only very minor flea bite nicks. Scabbard is original to the saber and is in great condition. Appears to have some minor repair or touch up above the drag. There is much speculation about who produced these sabers, but no one really knows.

WP 21. Leech and Rigdon Confederate Foot Officer’s Sword.

Scarce sword in its original Leech and Rigdon scabbard. Wooden grip retains more than half of its original black paint. Braided wire wrap intact. Blade is graying with some wear to the tip.

WP 22. Whitney Navy Revolver .36 Cal.

One of the more popular Navy revolvers used by both sides during the Civil War. “E. WHITNEY/N. HAVEN” address present on the barrel. Good overall condition with smooth clean surfaces and no pitting. Untouched gray turning plum patina. Serial # 30142 present on barrel, grips, loading lever, and likely on the cylinder. Cylinder rotation and trigger mechanism is sharp and tight. You can make out some of the cylinder scene but it is weak. Screws are original and have not been molested. Bore is clean and well defined. The walnut grips are in great shape as well, but one of them was used by a bored soldier (who fancied himself an artist) to practice his pointilism technique. The Confederacy used the Whitney as their pattern for the Spiller & Burr brass framed revolver.

$1250.00

WP 23. Leech and Rigdon Field and Staff Officers Sword presented to 1st Lieutenant William C. Hopkins, Co. B, 36th VA. Vol. Infantry Regt. Later Co. E, 36th VA. Cavalry Regt.

Extremely rare sword with an extra branch on the gilt brass guard. “CS” within an oval and laurel branches design on hilt similar to other Leech and Rigdon (and Bissonett) Field and Staff patterns. Polished wood grip and braided brass wire are immaculate. This variant did not have a leather wrap. Blade has an aged gray patina and is etched on both sides. One side has in script “Lt. Wm. C. Hopkins” amid vegetal scroll work. Leather scabbard is original to the sword and is also a Leech and Rigdon product. Very good condition with original brass mounts and drag. According to records, after enlisting at Boone Court House VA. in June of 1861, Hopkins was elected captain of a company in Gen. H.A. Wise’s command. This company participated in the Kanawha Valley campaign but retreated to White Sulphur Springs where the company, not having the legal quota to be mustered into service joined Captain McSherry’s company in the 36th VA. Regt. At this time Hopkins was elected 3rd. Lieut. This regiment was at Fort Donelson and somewhere in Tennessee he acquired this fine sword, possibly presented to him by his company. Hopkins was captured at Fort Donelson and later paroled. In the fall of 1862 Hopkins raised another company which was assigned to the 14th VA. Cavalry. Again he was elected Lieutenant. In April of 1863, this company was transferred to the 36th Battalion of VA. Cavalry where it was designated Co. E. Hopkins served faithfully until the surrender and participated in many battles and skirmishes without suffering wounds. Some of the battles he participated in are Ft. Donelson, Carnifex Ferry, Gettysburg, Rogersville, and Lee Court House. As a side note, there is documentation of courts martial accusations against Hopkins concerning incidents while a member of the 14th VA Cavalry at Morristown TN. in Dec. of 1863. Desertion of his company and “pulling a knife on his commanding officer” are mentioned. Evidently Hopkins was a fiery character and perhaps this explains in part his transfer to the 36th VA. Cavalry regt. Research documentation about Hopkins accompanies the sword.

WP 24. US M-1863 Remington “NEW MODEL” Army Revolver .44 Cal.

Classic American Civil War revolver in very good overall condition. Clint Eastwood used a pair of these in the movie “Outlaw Josey wales”. All matching serial # 111390 on barrel, frame, cylinder and penciled on interior of both grips. Mechanically sound. Consistent gray turning plum patina on smooth metal surfaces. Remington Patent Address clearly visible on barrel. Bore clean and very good. Original walnut grips in very good shape with only minor service wear. One bears a US Miltary Inspector’s Cartouche.

Original steel scabbard is also in good condition with omly a few minor pushes.

WP 26. Plant’s Patent Cup-Fire Cartridge Pocket Revolver .30 Cal.

Very early production serial # 2971 out of 20,000 produced in the early to mid-1860’s. Definitely a legitimate Civil War secondary weapon. The larger .30 Cal. bore set it apart from the Smith and Wesson pocket being .22 Cal. Cylinder indexing and trigger mechanism works crisply. Top of barrel strongly stamped by Plant’s subsidiary contractor “EAGLE ARMS CO. NEW YORK”. Cartridge ejector present. Brass frame has about 50% silver was remaining while barrel and cylinder retains about 40% of factory blue finish. Bore is clean with strong rifling. Rosewood grips retain their factory varnish. These front loading cartridge revolvers were popular with the officers and enlisted men that could afford them. I found one of the Plant cup-fire cartridges while metal detecting in a Confederate camp, so evidently some Confederates carried them too. A very nice Plant Pocket revolver.

$895.00

WP 27. US M-1863 Remington “New Model” Army Revolver .44 Cal.

Iconic American Civil War revolver in good overall condition. Serial # 28880. Mechanically sound. Dark graying patina on smooth metal surfaces.

One bears a US Miltary Inspector’s Cartouche.

$1450

WP 28. US M-1863 Remington Contract Rifle Dated 1865 with Matching Socket Bayonet.

Scarce Civil War long arm. Only a few of these 1865 dated guns were inspected and delivered before the Confederate surrender in May of 1865. The remainder of the contract was not inspected by the US Ordnance Dept. but instead sold overseas. This gun is one of the few 1865 dated guns that was inspected, cartouched, and saw service at the tail end of the war. Condition is very good indeed with clean metal surfaces. No pitting. Patina turning mottled gray. Lock clearly marked with Remington Address and dated 1865. Original long range sight and ramrod present. US Eagle Head/VP proofs on breech. 1865 barrel date clearly visible. Stock also very good with only very minor cosmetic wear. No cracks, repairs or missing wood.

WP 30. M-1859 Sharps Cavalry Carbine .52 Cal. 2nd PA. Vol. Cavalry Regt.

One of the most popular cavalry weapons of the American Civil War. Deployed extensively by both sides. The Confederacy also copied this carbine for their own production. According to the Springfield Research compendium, Serial #55608 was issued to Co. F, of the 2nd Pennsylvania Vol. Cav. Regt. on June 15, 1863. Therefore, it is extremely likely that this one, Serial #55606 was also issued to the 2nd PA. Vol. Cavalry Regt. Condition is excellent and honest. Showing combat use, but being taken care of. Gunmetal surfaces are smooth with an untouched, gray turning plum colored patina. Sharps Patent addresses present on the lock, frame, and barrel. Long range sight intact with Lawrence Patent underneath the ladder. Barrel also stamped “NEW MODEL 1859”. All screwheads are in great shape, basically untouched. Hammer, trigger, and lever action mechanics are excellent. Bore shows combat use, but is clean with strong rifling. Stock is much better than average with un-sanded edges. Only minor service wear and scattered dings. No cracks, repairs, or wood loss. Note clear US Military Inspector’s Cartouche above the saddle ring bar. Here is what I gleaned from The National Park Service website:

WP 31`. M-1862 Colt Police Revolver .36 Cal.

All matching 1866 production serial #33123 on all parts including the wedge. Smooth metal surfaces with an untouched dark gray patina. Trigger and cylinder rotation mechanics function properly when gun is horizontal or pointed downward. When turned up, it will not function. Probably an easy fix for a gunsmith. Colt’s Patent barrel address is present but weak. Grips have some scuffs and dings but retain most of the original factory varnish.

WP 32. Big Texas D-Guard Bowie Knife.

This massive knife came from a Montgomery TX. family estate and resembles Mexican knives of the period. Note elongated clip-tip. Blade shows age and was made by a skilled smith. Hardwood grip is in great condition and may be made of Mesquite. I prefer to call this knife “Texican”, or an “Espada Ancha”. These knives actually date to the Mexican War and are the direct ancestor of the iconic Confederate “D-Guard” Bowie. See page 245 of Norm Flayderman’s reference book “The Bowie Knife: Unsheathing an American Legend” for some detailed discussion on these knives. Total length is 27″.

WP 34. Confederate Enlisted Cavalryman’s Saber. Kenansville NC Armory Type III.

These sabers are sometimes attributed to Boyle and Gamble of Richmond VA. but if you look closely, the scabbard and rounded spine of the blade tie these swords to the Kenansville NC. Armory. This firm was prolific in its output of Officer’s swords, cavalry sabers, naval cutlasses, artillery swords, and Bowie Knives. The Type III saber is also known to be issued with a solid brass or copper scabbard. Condition of the saber offered here is exceptional and untouched. 95% of the original leather grip is intact. Single strand brass wire wrap present. Brass guard to blade fit is tight with no wobble. Note original leather throat washer. Outer rib of the guard has a slight service bend. Blade is semi-bright with a good point. No major nicks or modern sharpening. Iron scabbard is of typical Kenansville construction with lapped seam, brass mounts and throat with squared off iron drag.

WP 37. Confederate Artillery Short Sword Produced by Leech & Rigdon (Memphis TN/Columbus MS).

Here is the most attractive and interesting of the CS marked artillery short swords (my opinion). Condition is very good with no wobble in the hollow cast guard. The letters “C” and “S” are prominently cast into the quillons. Blade has no nicks or sharpening. Light surface oxidation gives it a splotchy patina with areas of bright finish coming through. No scabbard, but nonetheless, a fine looking and affordable CS marked sword. Ex. Paul Brill collection.

The top of the barrel has a clear “SPILLER & BURR” barrel address which is only seen on 17 of all surviving examples. Condition is exceptional for Confederate revolvers. Trigger and cylinder rotation mechanics are sound. Metal surfaces are smooth throughout and the brass frame exhibits a deep, mellow patina. Both original walnut grips are in great condition and are numbered “486” in pencil on the inside. There is a multi-page, in-depth report on this revolver done by John Sexton which accompanies it. According to his research, this revolver had failed in the field and was sent back to the factory, which by that time had moved to Macon GA. Here it received a new cylinder, stamped “486” and a loading lever from another revolver, also stamped “486”. This work was done by the factory during the conflict and every single part is original and untouched since then.

Can you magine the drama, and scenes that this revolver witnessed and participated in?

WP 42. Memphis Novelty Works Enlisted Confederate Cavalry Saber.

These early war Confederate sabers are scarcer than most collectors realize. The Leech and Rigdon enterprise relocated to Columbus MS. after the fall of Memphis in February of 1862. They continued to make fine officer’s swords but no longer produced enlisted cavalry sabers. This example turned up in Northern Mississippi and is in pure, untouched attic condition. Only small traces of the original tarred canvas grip remain but the braided brass wire wrap is intact. The brass hand guard has deep bronze turning green patina and bears a clear “MEMPHIS NOVELTY WORKS / THOs LEECH & Co.” address. Blade is in excellent form with a perfect point, semi-bright with some spotting. No moderrn sharpening or nicks. Scabbard condition is also untouched with brass mounts and small iron rings. Scabbard body has light surface oxidation with only minor pushes.

WP 45. US M-1861 Colt Special Model Rifle Musket .58 Cal. Dated 1863.

Col. Samuel Colt jumped into the war effort and contracted with the US Government and State of New Jersey to produce Colt’s own rifle musket.
