Confederate Cavalry Carbine Cartridge Box.<\/h2>\r\n<p>From the standpoint of rarity, condition, and appearance, this one has it all. Probably the finest known survivor. Confederate leather accoutrements are scarce, and when encountered, usually in rough, well worn condition. This cartridge box has very sturdy construction. The leather retains its original smooth polished surface. No flaking. All stitching intact and tight. Latch tab and belt loops intact. Note lead finial. Inside the flap is the original tin liner with individual tubes for the cartridges. Remnants of four Sharps cartridges are inside the box. They appear to be Federal cartridges and may have been added along the way for display. This piece is ideal for the Confederate Cavalry collector who has an S.C. Robinson or Richmond Sharps, Tarpley, Cook and Brother, Bilharz &amp; Hall, or any other Confederate Carbine.

Clark, Aide de Camp and Head of Intelligence for General Nathaniel Banks.<\/h2>\r\n<p>John Swarthout Smith Clark was a remakable individual, and was quite qualified for intelligence work. He suffered a serious leg wound while reconnoitering Confederate fortifications at Port Hudson LA. and evidently, established a framework for interrogating Confederate prisoners among other achievements. His estimations of Confederate force strengths were unfortunately innacurate for Gen. Pope at Second Mannasas as well as during the Red River Campaign, but on balance, he was a solid and productive asset to the Union Army. I will now refer you to the detailed biographical sketch provided by the Horse Soldier in Gettysburg PA. that accompanies this fine document. President Lincoln\u2019s signature is bold and clear, as well as the signature of his Secretary of War Edwin McMasters Stanton. The commission is professionally custom framed with archival materials and UV resistant glass. A signed letter of authenticity from Wes Small of the Horse Soldier is included. Here is an opportunity to own a very historical American Civil War military document signed by President Lincoln himself.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>$7500.00<\/strong><\/p>\r\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\r\n<h2>MS 3.

More research should be done. Canteen itself is a very good example of the classic Confederate issued \u201cGardner Pattern\u201d. The iron bands and sling bars exhibit attic type oxidation. Clearly incribed on one side are Shepherd\u2019s initials \u201cCMS\u201d. Accompanied by an old typed tag with Shepherd\u2019s service information. Ex.
