Seven Pines Recovered 1855 Bayonet and Scabbard

For sale is this spectacular relic condition bayonet and scabbard picked up shortly after the Battle of Seven Pines, May 31st to June 1st 1862. The leather scabbard is mildly cracked in places but stable and supple. There is a slight seam separation along the length of the scabbard, but is otherwise sturdy and strong. The frog still exhibits 2 faint inspector cartouches between the rivets. A old wired paper label afixed to the frog reads "Bayonet Scabbard Found after Battle of Seven Pines. May 31-June 1 1862. An even older adhesive label along the scabbard body provides the same provenance. The bayonet itself exhibits an evenly pitted gray and brown patina, and is missing the locking ring. This relic looks to have been displayed at a G.A.R. hall at one time, and is an exceedingly rare early battlefield pickup from the bloodiest battle in the east up to that time. BL1- $375.00

Unmarked Model 1840 Cavalry Saber

This unmarked model 1840 "Old Wristbreaker" was likely an early war Prussian import. The saber is in overall good condition with some scattrered gray pitting and service nicks along the blade and very light rust near the ricasso, which is missing the leather washer. The guard exhibits an uncleaned bronze patina, and the leather grip is strong and complete minus a small bit of leather loss on one side. The scabbard has a scattered plum patina with typical service dings, and is missing the throat piece. This is a very nice representative example of the most widely used saber by both North and South at a very reasonable price. BL2- $495.00
