Remington New Model Army, 2 Line Address “Transition” Model

Here is a really nice Remington New Model Army Revolver. This one is in the 17,000 serial number range with the 2 line address stamped on the top of the barrel, which lacks the marking “New Model”. The metal exhibits a smooth brown patina overall with a few service dings along the right side of the frame. Grips are in very nice condition with a few scratches and one sharp inspector’s cartouche. Bore is nice with sharp rifling. The action on this pistol is tight and mechanically perfect. Nice early 1863 production pistol that definitely fought Johnny Reb.

FA2- $1500.00

 

Field Modified Civil War Issue Style Tin Cup

Large size 4.5x4.5 tin cup modified with wire bail. This one has a ton of character and would look great in a camp display. The dimples on the bottom of the cup show evidence of coffee grinding, and a little of the lead solder has melted. This one definitely hung over the bivouac fire. MIS3-$200.00

1862 Patent Cape/ Gum Blanket Button

Scarce Abel Putnam 1862 Patent Button, designed to fasten the soldier’s gum blanket around the neck as a poncho, or to fasten together shelter tents. These originally sold for 1 dollar for a set of 3, and would likely have been readily available from the army sutlers. Rufus Ingalls, Chief Quartermaster Army of the Potomac, wrote on May 27th, 1863, “I have examined the Patent Eyelet Hook, and have a very high opinion of its utility. Believing that it would be of great value to the troops, I recommend that authority be granted to introduce it to this army.” This one is in great condition, and has the patent date “Nov 11 1862” faintly stamped into the back of the button. BUT1- $95.00

U.S. Model 1858 Smoothside Canteen with Original Cover and Stopper

Standard issue smoothside canteen with 95% intact brown wool cover. Original stopper and chain in nice condition, but I believe the sling is an old reproduction. Every Civil War collection needs one of these on display.

AC3- $365.00

1852 Navy Officer's Sword, Inscribed ID to "Henry Allen"

Attractive Civil War Navy Officer's sword with blade inscribed to Henry Allen. Records show that Henry Allen served as an Acting Master from October 15th, 1861 until his Dismissal on January 13th, 1863. This sword certainly invites further research. Shark skin grip is strong and in excellent condition. Brass guard is just slightly loose. The blade is unmarked with slight pitting and a few scattered dark spots. The edge has some nicks and looks like it has seen some swordplay in the past. Solid ID'd officer's sword affordably priced. BL4-$1600.00

“Jeff Davis” Hardee Hat Pin, Non Excavated


Nice non-dug hardee hat pin. The bottom hook is intact, the top hook is missing. Two small holes were punched through the upper face of the pin. Overall a nice piece of insignia that’s getting tough to find in non-excavated condition. MIS4-$185.00
