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.
