WOOD SLIVERS FROM THE GALLOWS OF THE LINCOLN ASSASSINATION CONSPIRATORS

WOOD SLIVERS FROM THE GALLOWS OF THE LINCOLN ASSASSINATION CONSPIRATORSp>

On July 7, 1865 Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold and George Atzerodt were hanged from a wooden scaffold in the yard of the Old Arsenal Penitentiary in Washington, D.C. They had been found guilty as conspirators in the plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln and William Seward. Included in this display are wooden fragments from the scaffold used in the execution, which were secured by a soldier from the 1st US Veteran Volunteers who was acting as a guard.

Also included is a Certificate of Authenticity certifying the origin of the wood pieces. These fragments accompanied a larger piece of wood, a photograph of which is shown in the letter, that was salvaged as souvenirs at the prison and is so documented by a contemporary note.

Professionally mounted and matted into an unframed 8 by 10-inch display, with a copy of an image of the execution.

ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR REGULATION MODEL 1851 PATTERN



This Federal rectangular eagle wreath waist belt plate is a typical Model 1851 NCO's early war specimen sans the keeper. In very strong overall condition, this convex-shaped brass device measures 87mm x 55mm and follows the Ordnance Manual directive published in November 1861 as being constructed of gilt cast brass with an integral spread-winged eagle and applied nickel-silver laurel wreath with its tips below the wings. A narrow integral cast-brass tongue is on the reverse.

Specimen has a clear stippled background and features the motif of the spreadwinged eagle with a shield on his breast gripping an olive branch with its right talon and holding three arrows in the left talon. Higher protruding areas such as the shield's surface exhibit some wear. The vertical bars on the shield and its border edges are no longer distinct. Main ribs of the bird's wings exhibit normal wear but its pinfeathers are clearly visible and distinct. Letters in the national motto are strong but lightly rubbed. A single row of eight, 5-pointed stars sit above the motto and are clear.

Belt loop is strong with no bends or cracks. Plate face has acquired a mellow bronze patina overall and retains much of the original gold gilt around the perimeter. No maker's mark visible. Here is an original Civil War NCO's rectangular eagle wreath brass sword belt plate in fine condition at a reasonable price.

CHARLESTON SLAVE TAG DATED 1839

CHARLESTON SLAVE TAG DATED 1839

This diamond-shaped tag made of thin sheet metal brass meas. 1.75" x 1.75". with corners rounded out. Upper tag corner has hole and beneath reads "CHARLESTON / 453 / PORTER / 1839" indicating the city where the tag was made and issue, slave number, slave occupation, and date made. Reverse has no markings. Overall, tag exhibits light denting with patches of dark soiling and age spots, especially on the reverse.

Charleston, S.C. was the only city in America to actually issue slave tags. Initially issued in 1800, they were first produced by local silversmiths until the civil war when the city was taken by the North. In 1828, maker's stamps ceased to be marked on the tags and in 1829 all tags were produced in the diamond-shaped pattern. 400 known examples of the Porter occupation slave tag are known to exist.

US PONCHO WITH REMAINS OF TWO US MODEL 1855 CARTRIDGE BOXES

US PONCHO WITH REMAINS OF TWO US MODEL 1855 CARTRIDGE BOXES

A regulation US Poncho recovered with the remains of two US Model 1855 cartridge boxes. Both boxes appear to remain full of .58 cal. bullets. What makes this amazing is that all the artifacts were recovered at Spotsylvania Court House, 250 yards from the "Bloody Angle!" The poncho measures approx. 2'x2' and remains in remarkable condition. Below the poncho are the remains of the two cartridge boxes with no tins. One box has approx. 14 CS .58 cal. minie balls and approx. 10 US .58 cal. minie balls. The leather still surrounding the bullets measures 6"x4". Only a small section of the outer flap remains. A smaller section of inner flap has the maker's name embossed, "Pritchard, A.R. & Bros., Rochester". The second box appears to have all 40 rounds intact with a 5"x6" section of leather box remaining. Inner compartment flap is intact. Outer flap meas. 6"x6", with holes for the cartridge box plate. The box has both plates (CBP & EBP) present, but unattached. Both remain in very good condition, missing only the hooks. Approx. 5" of cartridge box strap remains with holes for the EBP. Two knapsack cross straps remain, each approx. 9" long. Has remains of several other leather straps and bayonet scabbard tip. A special wooden display case has been made to display these items meas. 24 3/8"x 24 3/8". No glass top is present.

Special shipping required, but we would ask that consideration be given to picking up the item in person. A special addition to your collection.

More than three hundred Patriots were killed in a battle followed by a massacre, in which the Iroquois raiders hunted and killed fleeing Patriots before torturing to death the thirty to forty who had surrendered.

Along the entire upper border of one face are the raised letters "KENTUCKY CURRENCY / S. T. SUIT DISTILLER". Center portion of the token disc bears faint traces of letters and numbers. On the outer border of the reverse side of the coin are the words "S. T. SUIT / JEFFERSON CO. KY." The center face reads "FOR / MEDICINAL / USE ONLY". Never cleaned. An unusual, excavated Kentucky artifact from an undisclosed Virginia battlefield.

CONFEDERATE "RICHMOND STYLE" TWO-PIECE WAIST BELT PLATE IN WONDERFUL DUG CONDITION

CONFEDERATE "RICHMOND STYLE" TWO-PIECE WAIST BELT PLATE IN WONDERFUL DUG CONDITION

Here is a fine dug specimen of an original, Confederate 'Richmond-style' tongue and wreath buckle recovered from an undisclosed area. Constructed with the sand-cast mold process, this attractive and desirable, brass, two-piece accouterment is in very good overall condition. Believed to have been made in Richmond, ca. 1861-1865, this sturdy contract plate bears a pronounced convex curve and both tongue and wreath pieces are well cast and formed. Plate retains its definitive shape with no dents or cracks. The two belt loops are narrow but strong with no bends. Details of the laurel leaf wreath are worn down with the tongue letters 'CS' well defined and bear clear high serifs. Wreath shows very slight scuffing / rubbing to the surface. When tongue is unhooked, the wreath shows a rough casting flaw along the top edge of the bottom tray. With tongue in place, it does not detract from the pleasing appearance of the plate. Tongue has a tapered 'step-up' contour that goes from the disc to the bar and is so typical of most of these two piece CS plates.

A wonderful brass specimen, this waist buckle measures approximately 48mm (tongue) x 49mm (wreath) and is 1 7/8" high. Entire plate displays a dark greenish brown patina. No maker's mark visible. This handsome and desirable Confederate government issue 'Richmond-style' two piece accoutrement is in wonderful dug condition and would make a very fine addition to any Confederate waist belt plate display.

EXCAVATED, SMITH-MARKED U.S. 1839 PATTERN FEDERAL INFANTRY WAIST BELT PLATE

EXCAVATED, SMITH-MARKED U.S. 1839 PATTERN FEDERAL INFANTRY WAIST BELT PLATE

This excavated Federal waist belt plate is of the early regulation 1839 pattern and was made by W. H. Smith of Brooklyn, New York between 1861 and 1865. Smith, a metal worker in New York City, produced leather accoutrements for other firms in the city. Several 'W.H. Smiths' were listed in the City's business directory and definitive ID of the plate maker is not known. Construction for this enlisted infantryman's belt plate device is via the die-struck, rolled brass face method. The oval plate measures 55 mm x 87 mm is in excavated condition with both 'puppy paw' belt hooks and its single belt clasp strong and tight. Recovered from an unknown location, this convex specimen is not dented but does suffer from five slight surface cracks along the edge border. Plate features the large raised letters "US" on its face which exhibits a moderate rust-colored patina overall along with some traces of dirt in the crevices. Surface is smooth and hard with just very mild oxidation along the double border. Backside of the plate, complete with all three hooks strongly intact, is lead filled and in good condition with minor cracking and some edge erosion at the edge. Maker's name "W. H. SMITH / BROOKLYN" is clearly visible on the lead surface but is thinly stamped and exhibits a slight, ½" long abrasion across the stamping. This early pattern, maker-marked dug U.S. oval waist belt plate is a much sought after artifact in very nice relic condition that would be worthy of any Civil War display or collection.

DUG RARE NORTH CAROLINA MILITARY INSTITUTE BUTTON

DUG RARE NORTH CAROLINA MILITARY INSTITUTE BUTTON

This rare button artifact is a very fine excavated example of a dug, two-piece brass button as worn on the uniforms of North Carolina Military Institute cadets at Charlotte, NC prior and during the Civil War. Specimen was recovered from an unknown location in the Richmond, VA area. Face exhibits a large beehive centered on a lined field flanked with the letters "N" and "C". The words "MILITARY INSITITUE" edge the lower area of the button in a concave shape.

Reverse is moderately corroded with oxidation and the backmark is present. Reads "Scovill. Mfg. Co. Watrbry." but the stamping is difficult to read. Shank is intact but has been bent over. Button classed as a SU 272 in A. H. Albert's reference volume.

EXCAVATED CS BLOCK "I" UNIFORM BUTTON

This artifact is an excavated example of a Confederate Infantryman's Block "I" brass button as worn on a Southern enlisted man's uniform. Found at an unknown location sometime after the war, this locally made coat-size infantry button is of two-piece cast construction with an edge border and is in fair to good condition. Classed as a 'CS 181A' in A.H. Albert's reference volume, this circular, 23-mm, brass specimen exhibits a plain Roman block letter "I" displayed upon the face that has a smooth, dark background. Face and back exhibit a medium brown patina overall. Face nicely convex but the backside has a center push. Button is backmarked with "E.M. L. & C. / Richmond, Va." rmdc. Shank strong and intact. Never cleaned. Here is an excavated, original Confederate uniform block "I" button from a Civil War battlefield that would enhance any Civil War button collection.

CIVIL WAR MODEL 1860 COLT ARMY 'THUER' CONVERSION REVOLVER IN RELIC CONDITION

CIVIL WAR MODEL 1860 COLT ARMY 'THUER' CONVERSION REVOLVER IN RELIC CONDITION

This relic Civil War period artifact is a Model 1860 Army Colt early 'Thuer' conversion revolver recovered at an unknown location. Heavily rusted and pockmarked, the revolver was converted from a paper cartridge, cap and ball percussion sidearm to one chambered for metallic cartridges. This design allowed for the original cap and ball rebated cylinder to be changed out with a new unrebated cylinder but still able to employ the remaining elements of the cap and ball system. In relic condition, the weapon retains its original barrel, frame, hammer and trigger guard and the front of the barrel lug that has been machined on the fight side to allow for front loading of the new cartridge. However, the specimen is missing its conversion ring, turning knob, ejection mechanism and its rebounding firing pin. Pistol has also lost its original walnut grips and the loading lever. Serial numbers are undecipherable and the exposed main spring is broken. All metal surface is rusted but wears a hard and smooth, dark plum patina. Here is an early representative Colt conversion relic condition sidearm.

A PAIR OF RELIC MODEL 1795-LIKE CONVERSION LONGARM MUSKETS

A PAIR OF RELIC MODEL 1795-LIKE CONVERSION LONGARM MUSKETS

Here is a pair of relic longarms in poor condition believed to be late 18th century muskets converted from flintlock to percussion use. The weapons, similar in style to the Model 1795 Springfield Flintlock musket, are incomplete. Both, muskets, however, exhibit a series of small iron brads or tacks embedded into the obverse side of each stock in such a design that they clearly convey the words "OLD GUARD". Though many of these brads are missing on one of the gun stocks, the residue puncture marks left in the wood confirm the name 'OLD GUARD'. Cursory research has been done on the 'Old Guard' identification which reveals that the 3rd US Infantry Division is the U.S. Army's official ceremonial unit and its Honor Guard which serves as escort to the President of the United States. The 3rd ID has held that designation since 1784 and was titled the Old Guard' in 1847.

Both longarm pieces are truly in relic condition with the wood stocks wearing a heavy coating of gray dust and dirt from storage. Both barrels are heavily and deeply pitted. One weapon is missing a number of parts, i.e. lockplate, lockplate screws, sidestrap, hammer, barrel bands, sling swivels, etc. Barrel measures 46¾" in length and retains the bolster. The iron trigger, trigger guard and trigger guard tangs, bands and buttplate are also heavily rusted. This musket also is missing portions of the stock at the hammer and lockplate area and the ramrod. No markings visible. Possibly an imported European arm. The second musket retains its lockplate, lockplate screws, sidestrap, hammer, barrel bands, one sling swivel, etc. Barrel measures 44¼" in length and appears to be cut down. Retains its bolster. The iron trigger, triggerguard and trigger guard tangs, bands and buttplate are heavily rusted. This musket also is missing portions of the stock at the hammer and lockplate area and the ramrod. No markings visible. Again, possibly an imported European arm. Calls for further historical research.

RELIC MODEL 1860 SPENCER CARBINE FOUND IN PENNSYLVANIA

RELIC MODEL 1860 SPENCER CARBINE FOUND IN PENNSYLVANIA

Presented here is an example of an engineering design known as the Civil War Model or Model 1860 Spencer carbine. Designed for cavalry use but not issued to Federal horse soldiers until October 1863, the Spencer .52 caliber, 7-shot metallic rimfire cartridge repeating carbine was invented and patented by Manchester, Connecticut native Christopher M. Spencer. His weapon system proved to be the most successful and sought after firearm of the Civil War.

This M1860 war carbine is a recent relic found in an old house in Newville, Pennsylvania. The weapon bears serial # 34659 and has an overall length of 39" and weighs 8 lbs., 4 oz. This M1860 carbine relic is in 'barn condition' and not excavated. It has a 22" long barrel fitted to its two piece walnut stock / fore-end that looks to never have been touched since it was put away. Shoulder stock suffers from a large, 3" triangular sliver of wood missing from behind the hammer. Wood bears moderate to heavy scuffing, dings and dents from use and storage. Amazingly, traces of the original government cartouche are readily visible on the stock surface behind the sling bar.

Barrel has its original blade front sight and also the rear sight with its sliding "V" notch elevation bar. No original colors remain but all the metal exhibits a smooth, mottled rust-colored patina overall. Moderate pitting is evident on the hammer and the barrel muzzle. Original fore-end is tight and strong. Buttstock is missing the iron butt plate and the loading tube. Top flat of the receiver, forward of the hammer, was stamped with "SPENCER REPEATING / RIFLE CO. BOSTON MASS / PAT'S MARCH 6, 1860" in three lines but all the stampings are extremely thin, almost gone. Serial # is located at the rear of the breech near the hammer. Carbine sling bar and sling ring are loosely attached to the left side of stock. Lock screws are missing. Other metal surfaces of the carbine appear dark and exhibit scattered moderate rusting. Some broken parts are attached with old string. This Civil War Model 1860 Sharps carbine is a relic condition weapon but would make for a useful parts gun to any collection.

RELIC STARR CARBINE FROM THE COLLECTION OF MR. WENDALL LANG, JR.

RELIC STARR CARBINE FROM THE COLLECTION OF MR. WENDALL LANG, JR.

Issued to the Federal cavalry during the Civil War, this .54 caliber, breech-loading percussion Starr carbine is a true battle relic and part of the of relic collection of legendary Civil War collector Mr. Wendall Lang, Jr. The battlefield and location of this original cavalry weapon that was recovered by Mr. Lang is lost to us.

Weapon is in relic condition with a stock that exhibits heavy weathering to the wood surface with moderate wood loss at the edges of the stock at the lockplate area, along both sides of the forend and at the lower extremity of the brass butt plate. Carbine is complete and by its overall condition, this specimen appears to have eluded relic hunters and battlefield pickers for years before it was found. All gunmetal is heavily rusted and both the walnut stock and forend wear a smooth, lightly grooved surface attributed to rain or water erosion. All wood appears to have shrunk slightly and shows heavy scrape marks on the reverse side above the trigger guards.

The weapon retains its brass buttplate and barrel band, its iron lockplate, hammer, trigger guard, dropping breech lever, and carbine swivel ring which are all intact. Hammer is locked frozen in the full cock position. A 2" long by ¼" wide sliver of wood has broken away from the stock at point of contact between the lockplate and barrel tang. Barrel retains its original rear but the front sight is missing. All maker stampings are rusted away on the lockplate but the buttplate tang still bears the sub-inspector's mark "B".

Starr cavalry carbines, produced by the Starr Arms Company of Yonkers, New York resembled the more famous 'Sharps' breechloader carbine of the time. Unfortunately, many Union cavalrymen did not think as high of the Starr model as they did of the Sharps carbine. The first shipment of 1,000 Starr percussion carbines was delivered to the Ordnance Dept in September 1863, and over 20,000 such weapons were purchased in total by the US government.

Manufactured between 1862 and 1865, the Starr percussion carbines were all .54 caliber breechloaders fitted with 21" long round barrels. The carbine employed a split breech dropping block mechanism that allowed the trooper to insert a linen cased cartridge into the barrel breech chamber for loading. Upward motion of the operating lever / trigger closed the breech, and ignition was activated with the striking of the percussion cap by the external hammer. The weapon measured 37½" long and weighed 7 lbs., 6 oz. with the iron lockplate and frame casehardened and the barrel blued. Carbine featured a two-piece black walnut stock, an 8½" long fore-end held in place by a single brass barrel band and a 14½" long buttstock with a sub-inspector marked brass buttplate.

If one seeks a remarkable and original veteran battle arm used and lost by Union cavalry, this wonderful relic Starr carbine specimen is sure to enhance any Civil War arms display or military collection.

EXCAVATED SELDOM SEEN 'BULLSEYE' BRASS ROSETTE

EXCAVATED SELDOM SEEN 'BULLSEYE' BRASS ROSETTE

Here is an original, typical bullseye-type brass rosette as used on cavalry and civilian bridle bits during the mid nineteenth century. In excavated relic condition, this artifact has lost the attachment loop that secured it to the headstall and reins of the bit. Specimen measures 1¾" in diameter and is ½" high. This good excavated example of horse equipment that would make a nice addition to any cavalry collection or display.

SINGLE BRASS BRIDLE 'BOSS' a.k.a. ROSETTE FOR A CIVIL WAR CURB BIT

This unbent, excavated bridle boss, also known as a rosette, is a decorative brass device once riveted to both branches or cheeks of a Civil War era military horse bit. The boss is a 1¼" diameter circular disc with an integral upper and lower extending tang. Center portion of the boss exhibits a light checkered background behind two, ½" high, raised letters "U S". Upper tang is missing the small brass rivet but the bottom tang still holds the rivet tightly in place. A wonderful example of Federal horse equipment excavated from an undisclosed Virginia battlefield that would make a fine addition to any Civil War cavalry collection.

FEDERAL, "U S"- MARKED, MODEL 1863 ARTILLERY BIT

FEDERAL, "U S"- MARKED, MODEL 1863 ARTILLERY BIT

Presented here is a very fine, original, "US" stamped, Civil War Model 1863, sometimes referred to as a M1864 artillery curb bit. Used by the 'longarm' branch of the Federal military during the war, this item of horse equipment is complete with its slobber bar, twin rosettes and rein rings. In very good overall condition, the iron surface of this artifact bears scattered rust pitting and has acquired a pleasing, dark plum-gray coloring overall. The arc design of the heavy side branches (a.k.a. cheek pieces) make a pronounced 'half S' curve from each of the bosses down to the piece's vertical rein slot just above the bit's slobber bar. Curb bit retains its two, fine condition, U.S. brass 'bosses' on each side branch but does not have the bit's curb brass chain or leather chinstrap. The port bar on this bit specimen is tight and strong at the cheeks and exhibits a # 3 size arch in the center of the mouth bar. Bar is deeply stamped with two 1/8" high letters "US" near the cheek. Both cheek pieces exhibit the usual slight outward bend at the top edge just above the two upper rein rings. One of the cheek pieces is also stamped "US" on the inside. Instead of the curb chain hole located directly below the headstall billet slot, this bit specimen has a curb strap slot indicative of artillery use. Curb bit shows just a hint of its original tinning. This superb example of a Federal artillery bit is a pleasing accoutrement of Civil War horse equipment that would enhance any equestrian collection.

Even with it's heavily pitted relic state, the rarity of this type of bayonet makes this item extremely desirable. Overall, the bayonet meas. 21.25" and socket portion appears completely intact. Blade edges are ragged and uneven, but entire blade is intact to the tip.

Spencer Bayonets are extremely hard to come by, especially the 1st Model, 1st Production style, as very few were manufactured.

EXCAVATED U.S. M1855 ANGULAR SOCKET BAYONET FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION

EXCAVATED U.S. M1855 ANGULAR SOCKET BAYONET FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION

Presented here in good, strong relic condition is an original US Model 1855 socket bayonet that came from an unknown location. This type of socket bayonets were made for the .58 caliber rifle / muskets and saw service from 1855 through the end of the Civil War. The term 'angular socket bayonet' refers to the type most often used by infantry soldiers. Shank of this weapon is at a right angle to the socket, setting the blade away from the bore of the muzzle. Triangular blade exhibits a tapered, spear shape and has a socket locking ring that helps secure the bayonet to the rifle / musket at the muzzle. This rusted, though still handsome, specimen is almost 20 7/8" long, ¾" wide and tapers to a sharp point. Socket is 3" long with an inside bore diameter of 5/8". Blade displays even surface rust pitting overall. The stamped letters "US" are rusted away and not visible on the flat of the blade. Bayo has intact edges and a number of edge nicks. This recovered M1855 socket bayonet specimen, at a most reasonable price, would make a wonderful addition to any early US military edged weapon display.

HILT PORTION OF AN EXCAVATED CONFEDERATE CAVALRY SABER

HILT PORTION OF AN EXCAVATED CONFEDERATE CAVALRY SABER

Presented here is a large portion of an excavated, unmarked Confederate cavalry saber that includes the brass hilt, guard, pommel and 11½" of the blade. Typically carried by Southern horsesoldiers during the War Between the States, this specimen is a totally unmarked, well-made steel edged weapon. Though this relic specimen is completely void of markings or stampings, it has the telltale features of Southern steel that include flats with unstopped fullers, a crudely cutout cast hilt and quillon, a cavalry-style brass pommel cap, and a crude blade. Heavily cleaned at one time, our CS blade specimen exhibits a slightly rounded back, a 11½" long portion of the single-edged steel blade with an unstopped wide fuller that runs the length. No narrow fullers. The once wood-handled grips are gone leaving only the tang of the blade seated into the base of the brass crude pommel. Quillon has been bent forward to within ½" of the blade back. Both branches and the knucklebow are bent and not symmetrical. Blade has a pronounced curve at the very edge of the break. A true veteran CS collectible.

BRITISH PATTERN 1822 DRAGOON CAVALRY SABER IN RELIC CONDITION RECOVERED IN MARYLAND

BRITISH PATTERN 1822 DRAGOON CAVALRY SABER IN RELIC CONDITION RECOVERED IN MARYLAND

This battle weapon is an original British Pattern 1822 cavalry officer's saber manufactured by the firm of W. Walscheid of Solingen, Prussia (now Germany). According to the fine sword reference book of author John Thillmann, not very much is known about the W. Walscheid firm. It appears the company was in business only long enough to produce sabers during the American Civil War. Interestingly, their edged weapons are seldom seen in the collecting field today and their cavalry officer's sabers are extremely rare. The cavalry saber has a two branch steel hilt with single line scribing or tooling on the backstrap and on the branches. Blade has a slightly curved steel blade that measures 32" long, a width of 1 1/8" and a 25¼" long stopped fuller. A clear maker's mark is found on the reverse ricasso and features the name "W. WALSCHEID / SOLINGEN" cleanly stamped in strong letters. Sides of this blade wear moderate to heavy surface of rust and oxidation. Grips are in fair to good condition and employ a grooved wooden handle that is covered with gray sharkskin and wrapped with copper single twist wire that is tight and strong. Sharkskin wrap has a number of spots that exhibits scuffing and complete flaking off the grips to reveal bare wood. The relic officer's saber was found in a barn in Taneytown, Maryland sometime after the Battle of Gettysburg. No other history is known. This Walscheid-marked British Pattern 1822 cavalry officer's edged weapon is in tight, relic condition and would make an interesting specimen worthy of any Civil War blade display or collection.

ORIGINAL U.S. MODEL 1840 N.C.O. SWORD IN RELIC CONDITION

This specimen of the Model 1840 N.C.O. sword is an original edged weapon in relic condition recovered from an undisclosed location. Typically carried by Federal non-commissioned officers, the sword's overall length is 38½" including a steel blade 32¼" long and a brass hilt. Hilt is strong and slightly loose and has grips with a simulated cast brass wire wrap cover that has acquired a pleasing, brown-dark green patina overall. The long, straight, single-edged blade suffers from moderate to heavy rust pockmarking and features a single stopped broad fuller. No maker's stampings are visible on the blade. Sword has a double 'clamshell' style brass guard with one side that appears slightly pushed forward at the edge. No scabbard is included. Carried by Corporals and Sergeants during the Civil War as symbol of their authority, this relic collectable specimen would enhance any edged weapon display or collection.

TWO .44 CAL 'MID-AIR' COLLISION BULLETS - WILDERNESS

TWO .44 CAL 'MID-AIR' COLLISION BULLETS - WILDERNESS

Recovered from The Wilderness battlefield area in Virginia, this remarkable and original wartime artifact is a rare specimen of two .44 caliber conical pistol bullets that collided with each other in 'mid-air' over 140 years ago. Both lead projectiles have been heavily distorted upon impact but the base of one round is intact and clearly distinct, while its battlefield mate is much more heavily distorted. Both bullets are fused tightly together and the lead piece wears a coat of oxidation with a light gray patina and resembles a small ½" diameter molten ball. A truly unique battlefield artifact with plenty of character, this reminder of intense battle fire certainly would enhance any Civil War relic collection.
