Confederate
   This
is an absolutely beautiful Confederate sword. It is the
Confederate manufactured artillery short sword with "CS and
star" cast into each side of the heavy cast brass guard. It
is the finest example of this style Confederate sword that I've seen
offered in years. This is one that you will treasure for years and
years. Describing this sword in one word "WOW"
!!--$3,850.
     This
is no doubt the finest Texas grouping that I have ever had to
offer. It was purchased a number of years ago directly out of the
Texas estate by the Lotz House Civil War Museum in Franklin, TN. and
still has the museum's ID numbers on the items. The estate
belonged to William J. Stafford of the 27th Texas Cavalry and consists
of William's super rare trans-Mississippi style Confederate manufactured
cavalry saber in it's original excellent condition BROWN LEATHER
scabbard, his "Regulation Style" C.S. oval waist belt plate on
the original leather belt, and two photos of William. This
grouping was one of the Lotz House Museum's finest displays and will no
doubt be a wonderful long term investment grade grouping for
someone.--$22,500.
     Extremely
rare Tennessee Confederate cavalry saber and scabbard manufactured by
"Memphis Novelty Works - Thomas Leech and Co." - Memphis,
TN. The blade is classic unstopped and has a rich never cleaned
aged patina. The brass guard is in nice condition as well and is
marked "Memphis - Thos. Leech & Co." The leather on
the grip was professionally restored back in the 1960s and looks real
nice. The scabbard is original to the sword and is also
Confederate manufactured with lap seam and brass mounts. This
would be a center piece in almost any collection.--$6,950.SOLD
         High
grade College Hill Nashville, Tennessee Confederate Field and Staff
Officer's Sword and Scabbard. The blade on this sword is sparkling
bright with clear Cunningham etching. Cunningham engraving is
distinctive and well known to often include a "monster" "C.S.A."
and a Confederate Stars and Bars flag The engraving on this
fabulous sword has ALL THREE! The guard has a rich aged bronze
patina and could not be prettier. Some College Hills are found in
leather scabbards and some in metal. This one is in a brass
mounted metal scabbard that fits it perfectly and appears to have always
been with it. This sword is so beautiful it is really hard to
adequately describe it. Hopefully the pictures of this fine sword
will speak for themselves.--$18,500.SOLD

clean with several small nicks from actual use. The markings are
"U.S. - Ames Mfg. Co. - 1865" and are sharper and clearer than
most you see. The grip has original wrap and wire with only one
small old age crack in the wood. The scabbard has a smooth dark

    Quite
rare massive Model 1841 Ames Naval Cutlass with original leather - brass
mounted - scabbard. The blade has a smooth dark uncleaned attic
patina with crisp markings of "1842 - U.S.N. - Ames - Cabotville,
Mass." The massive cast brass grip and "D" guard
show unquestionable service and several rack numbers stamped in.
The leather scabbard is complete but is surface cracking some with
age. The leather has also contracted a bit with age and the sword
lacks about 1/2 inch or so going all the way into the scabbard without
having to be forced more than what would be a good thing for the
scabbard. You don't see this sword offered everyday.--$1,295.HOLD

Chelmsford". The grip has original wrap and is in nice
condition. The scabbard has an attractive aged brown patina with

rack number stamping. The last digit of the date is to light to
read but I think I can faintly see the halo of a "2".
