Very tough to come by -- Early production "Hartford" 36 cal. Colt Navy Model revolver. The serial # is 76026 and all matching except for the wedge which is an old replacement. This is late 1850s production and exactly what you would expect to turn up here in the South. It has crisp action, sharp marks, and lots of remaining cylinder scene. {and plays Dixie when you hold it !!}--$1,975.

Massively long full stock 1840 era Ky. style long rifle. This weapon is a full 59 INCHES in overall length and only lacks a wooden ramrod and a lockplate to be complete and ready to go over the mantle. It is part of settling an estate in Davidson Co., TN. It's quite rare to find a full stock long rifle with full length wood and uncut barrel. How's this for a steal on a nice weapon and a cool piece of Southern history. Many Confederate soldiers in 1861 left home for war carrying a weapon exactly like this one.--$350. {Not a misprint !!!}SOLD

Untouched "attic" 1864 dated 58 cal. Springfield 3-band rifled musket. This musket was just brought into the shop a few minutes ago and literally looks to have not been touched in 100 years. The lockplate is marked "U.S. - 1864 - Springfield" and has a rich, never cleaned, attic brown patina. The musket still has the original triangular socket bayonet with it, but there is so much buildup that it won't go all the way on. The trigger guard could use taking off and turning around the right direction as well. Many collectors consider the 58 cal. Springfield musket to be the most representative classic musket of the American Civil War. This will be a fun "clean-up project" for someone and at a great price. Including original bayonet.--$975.

1850 era Ohio full stock fowling rifle. This rifle is approximately 50 cal. and was made by Frederick Leatherman located in Dayton, Ohio. He purchased his locks from the famous "Pennsylvania Rifle Works" and personally marked his barrels. The rifle has a beautiful striped Maple stock which was cracked at the wrist many, many years ago and expertly repaired. This is a great historical piece of the Ohio gunsmithing culture.--$975. {Not a misprint - Really only - $975.}

Nice condition 31 cal. "Pocket Model" 1849 Colt 5 shot revolver. The metal has a smooth attic brown patina and has an all matching serial # of 106475 {even the wedge matches and is great early 1852 production}. Lots of original cylinder scene remains clearly visible and the action is as crisp as new. If you've been wanting a quality little Colt revolver - here it is.--$975.SOLD

Exceptionally nice condition 69 cal. Model 1816 Springfield smoothbore musket originally produced in flintlock and converted to percussion for Civil War use. The metal is clean with marks that will almost cut your finger. The action is perfect and the stock is beautiful with sharp edges and two cartouches that you can see across the room. The bayonet is equally as nice. The lockplate is marked "U.S. - Springfield - 1839" and the barrel has crisp marks and is dated 1840. This is a class act weapon any way you slice it.--$1,650. complete with bayonet and $1,450. for the musket only.SOLD

1863 date 58 cal. Bridesburg 3-band percussion rifled musket. The musket has a smooth aged, uncleaned attic brown patina on the metal with lockplate markings of "U.S. - 1863 - Bridesburg". The action is crisp and the wood is very nice with a visible inspector's cartouche. The initials "J.B." are carved into the stock and there are all the normal small dings and marks of actual field service. The musket still has the original 3-side socket bayonet with it. If you like the fresh out of the attic look - you'll love this musket.--$1,650. complete with bayonet -- $1,450. for the musket without bayonet

Very nice condition 30 cal. front loading "Baby Plant" pocket revolver. Some original finish and marks as deep as new. The little cartridge ejector rod is missing as is often the case with these little revolvers. The action still works as well as new and the original grips are perfect.--$475.

Really pretty Spencer 7-shot repeating rifle. This is the Model 1865 made by Burnside Rifle Co. The metal has a smooth, gently aging grey patina with Spencer markings that you can read across the room. The serial number is 30278. Everything is intact including both sling swivels, long range site, loading tube, and cleaning rod. The stock is about as nice as new with a deep, crisp inspector's cartouche and the bore remains deep and sharp. This would be a fine addition to anyone's collection. {Box of cartridges were in display but do not come with the gun.}--$2,650.

Just brought in - a nice Harpers Ferry Model 1842 - 69 cal. musket complete with original triangular socket bayonet in scabbard. The musket has a rich - never cleaned - attic brown patina overall with lockplate markings of "U.S. - Harpers Ferry - 1851". The stock is in nice condition with all the small marks of service. Both sling swivels are intact - as well as ramrod and bayonet. A nice Model 1842 bayonet in original scabbard is very tough to come by on it's own. Many Harpers Ferrys saw C.S. service and this one being out of Middle Tennessee quite likely did as well.--$1,850. complete with bayonet and scabbard

Just brought in - a really nice 1863 date "Trenton" 3-band contract rifled musket. The metal has a smooth gently darkening attic brown patina on the metal with lockplate markings of "Trenton - U.S. - 1863" and a matching 1863 on the barrel. The musket is clearly "NJ" marked on both the barrel and on the stock. The musket has crisp action - original ramrod - original bayonet - long range site - and both sling swivels - all still intact. This would be a first class addition to anybody's collection.--$1,650.SOLD

Very attractive import 69 cal. French rifled musket dated 1845. This is the weapon that fired those 69 cal. "triangle base" French one ring bullets that we recover from Confederate infantry camps - and I don't ever remember digging one in a Yankee camp site. The musket is in good condition with a deep, crisp date and cartouche. A great musket at a reasonable price to start that Confederate weapons display.--$795.

Really, really nice 1862 date .577 cal. Enfield three band rifled musket complete with all the little goodies. The musket has a smooth grey-brown patina with lockplate markings of "1862 - Tower - and the crown". The stock is beautiful with just the normal small marks of use. This musket has both sling swivels, original ramrod, long range site, nipple protector with chain, brass tompion, and original bayonet. The barrel has the rarer upside down "24 - 24" mark and retains good rifling. This is a musket that would look sweet on anybody's wall.--$2,150.SOLD

Very Cool Relic - Complete Model 1861 3-band Springfield rifled musket found in the attic of an old antebellum home being torn down. You can still see the markings through the thick, never cleaned patina and the military inspector's cartouche remains clear as can be on the reverse. This great relic could be used in many ways - It would be a fantastic center piece to a dug relic display or would shadow box beautifully. And at a GREAT price.--$650.

Large 1809 date European manufactured single shot military style pistol. The pistol was of course in flint when manufactured and converted to percussion during the Civil War era. The lock plate is dated 1809 and marked with a standing lion. A very attractive and massive weapon {celebrating it's 200th birthday !!}.--$550.

Very nice condition 54 cal. Model 1842 Henry Aston Percussion Single Shot Military Horse Pistol. The metal has a smooth gently greying age patina and the marks all remain sharp and clear. The lockplate is marked "U.S. - 1851 - H. Aston". The original walnut stock is really pretty as well with two inspector cartouches that you can see across the room. The stock has a "57" carved in and the barrel has "57 - D.F.P." which probably means that "D.F.P." owned the weapon and he was in the "57th" regiment. This is a fine little firearm that will also be a fun research project.--$1,150.
