This particular 1863 dated Colt musket is a real solid example. Stamped with an American eagle on the bolster and the date clearly behind the hammer. As is customary with Colt M1861 Special Muskets, the word “STEEL” appears on the left side of the breech and below that “NJ” stamped into the wood indicating ownership by the state of New Jersey. This example is overall Very Good ++ with fine wood and only minor pitting at the breech. A great example for any collection and priced to move!.......$1,395.00 Call us @ 419-842-1863

11-08-070 - Very Nice Confederate Style Militia Tin Drum Canteen About identical to the Johnny Reb tin drum canteens… but this one is a bit better made and is an 1860 militia tin canteen appropriate to display with early war effects from north or south. Excellent condition with all three brackets firmly in place. $395.00 Call us @ 419-842-1863
11-08-071 - Whitney Navy Revolver Second Model, 3rd Type, serial number 13,506. It is a 6 shot 36 Caliber percussion gun with 7 1/2 inch barrel. The steel has aged to a pleasant plum patina, the barrel markings are slightly worn. The walnut grips are VG, small chips on each front corner. 100% original and complete and mechanically perfect. These are one of my favorite Civil War revolvers and many were carried in the cavalry, navy, and by officers. I like the lines better than on the more famous Remingtons. Nice CW revolver … $1,150.00 Call us @ 419-842-1863
11-08-072 - Inscribed Smith and Wesson 137th Pennsylvania Sergeant’s Pistol Smith and Wesson Model Number 1 Second Issue .22 caliber revolver.

About 80 percent silver or better. Hints of blue mostly thinning to plum patina on the barrel. 27XXX serial number range (1862 production). Call us @ 419-842-1863
11-08-073 - Confederate Enlisted Man’s Cavalry Saber The classic so-called Dog River cavalry saber. The reason these unmarked Confederate sabers are referred to as Dog River’s --- according to the late CS sword scholar Wm Albaugh is that he read a Confederate soldier’s letter once which mentioned that the soldier was camped near the Dog River factory. Albaugh could never find reference to that manufactory, so the mystery name he assigned to any rebel sword that he could not firmly attribute to a specific maker. This sword has a 34 3/4 inch blade with classic CS unstopped blood letter. The blade is unmarked and has a gently rounded spine. The brass guard, pommel, and knuckle bow are crudely fashioned, unmarked, and show some old toolmarks. The pommel is thick and heavy. This saber was likely produced in Georgia. The grip has been expertly restored with replaced leather and wire, otherwise it is as it was carried by Johnny Reb during the Civil War. Discounted price.............$1,700.00 Call us @ 419-842-1863
11-08-074 - Colt Army Revolver with Finish NRA near fine example of the 1860 .44 caliber Colt Army Revolver. This is a commercial gun not sold under government contract and much scarcer than the government purchased guns. They have a much higher quality lustrous blue, varnished grips of better wood, and are just plain more handsome than the government models. This is much nicer than 96% of all the Colt army revolvers that survive. The metal is smooth plum with 25% to 30% real blue on the barrel, lug, and in protected areas of the cylinder. The cylinder has virtually all of the roll engraved battle scene intact. The steel back strap has generous traces of silver plate. The grips are superb with much original varnish. Gun has all matched serial numbers 170,594 including the wedge. Much nicer than most you find… whether you collect Colts or want to do a Civil War of early wild west display this is a top notch example that I bought at auction this past weekend. Heck I paid almost what I am asking here as there was so much bidding on it the auctioneer was grabbing bids by the split second and I refused to put my hand down. $2,750.00 Call us @ 419-842-1863
11-08-075 - Wonderful Child’s Civil War Musket with Bayonet This is such a great kid’s musket… I wish these were available for youngsters today. The overall length is 42” with a 28” barrel. It is a scaled down version of the British Enfield and is totally functional… the real deal… a real gun. In the day you could load it with powder and ball and dispatch your target forthwith… just as it should be. Comes with the original mini Enfield bayonet with a 10” blade, perfect for poking a surly sibling or troublesome cat. Heck, I bet this thing poked out bunches of kids’ eyes! The gun has Belgian Liege proof marks. The lock is marked “L&T” behind the hammer. The gun is in VG condition, with just a few surface blemishes. It is 100% original and 100% complete except for one missing lock screw on the back which is not visible when the gun is displayed anyway. The musket is fully functional though the nipple is battered. Any male child of any period in history would cherish this wonderful “child’s musket”. I am just an old version of a little kid and I love the thing…. Priced below the last one that sold at auction, and this one has a bayonet that is a darn good copy of an actual Enfield bayonet. The musket and bayonet are a real good deal at $1,250.00 Call us @ 419-842-1863
11-08-076 Model 1840 Import Heavy Cavalry Saber Model 1840 Heavy Cavalry Saber with a 36 inch blade. Excellent condition overall with fine blade w/ much luster and excellent grip leather and wire. Unmarked ricasso. Steel scabbard is likewise VG+ with smoky patina and showing some light cleaning. Perfect to display with US or CS cavalry effects as both sides imported thousands of these grand old wristbreakers. Friendly price........$595.00 Call us @ 419-842-1863
11-08-077 - Identified Soldier's CDV and Bible Freshly found CDV and Bible of Absalom Ross 1st Ohio Regiment. The inside of the Bible bears a wonderful printed label which reads: "Absalom Ross, Co. C. 1st Reg. O.V. No. 24." The accompanying CDV was found inside the testament by the picker who found it for the price of a McDonald’s lunch at an antiques show near Dayton, Ohio in the summer of this year. The CDV is in excellent condition with stark contrast and good detail. The back of the card reads "FLOYD & STALEY, 82 Main St. SPRINGFIELD, OHIO". The soldier's name is also written lightly in pencil above the photographer's mark. The Testament is missing the title page but the soldier’s printed label more than makes up for that small defect. Archives records show Absalom Ross Residence was not listed; 25 years old. Enlisted on 4/16/1861 as a Private. On 4/29/1861 he mustered into "C" Co. OH 1st Infantry. This Bible was likely carried at the battles of Vienna, Centerville, and Bull Run Virginia in 1861...........................$265.00 Call us @ 419-842-1863
11-08-078 Columbia South Carolina Palmetto Musket Model 1842 – Secondary Confederate: A totally genuine example of the Model 1842 percussion musket made by William Glaze at the Palmetto Armory in Columbia South Carolina. Gun is overall “very good” condition being original, genuine, and complete except for three minor replacements mentioned below. It does have some moderate to heavy pitting on the steel surfaces and shows handling and use, but no abuse nor damage. Rear of lock plate is marked “Columbia S.C. 1852”. Forward lock area has Palmetto tree and “Palmetto Armory S.C.” Barrel is signed “W.G. Co.” (for Wm Glaze & Co.), butt plate is marked “S.C.” The soldier carved his initials and company affiliation into the stock… behind the trigger guard tang is carved… “G.F?” --- “Co. C”. The gun is all original and unaltered except for three inconsequential elements. The small bayonet lug under the muzzle is replaced (very minor and mentioned only for accuracy’s sake). The hammer is in better condition than the lock which may indicate it was replaced using an original hammer. And finally the middle barrel band is replaced and is from an early US musket. It does not fit perfectly, but it does fit well. These three elements are inconsequential in the world of Confederate used guns where rusty relics still command thousands of dollars. These minor “warts” are mentioned only for the sake of accuracy. These Glaze muskets are a very rare and desirable rebel shoulder weapon. They are true Secondary Confederate muskets and most were carried in the Civil War by rebel troops from South Carolina. These were produced with either brass furniture or steel. The steel versions like this have the bayonet lug on the bottom of the barrel as this one does. The brass trimmed examples are priced at five figures. If you are looking for an affordable Southern musket for your Civil War display you will be well pleased with this honest South Carolina musket. Purchased at auction in Western New York three weeks ago… priced well below my competition at......$3,950.00 Call us @ 419-842-1863 |
