  1. framedsandw.JPG (58038 bytes)Beautifully professionally shadow boxed and framed Smith and Wesson 1st Model 22 cal. 7 shot revolver.  This weapon took a 22 cal. short rimfire cartridge and was very popular with many Civil War officers.  It is framed with acid free matting and light filtering glass and is ready to hang on the wall.  The frame job alone cost $150.--$495.
  2. cooper.JPG (60054 bytes)cooperlft.JPG (59896 bytes)coopermrk.JPG (45405 bytes)cooperbuttsrl.JPG (47584 bytes)coopercylsrl.JPG (57156 bytes)Very nice condition 31 cal. J. M. Cooper percussion Pocket Model revolver.  This example is serial number 5885 which is 1864 production.  The revolver has a visual similarity to the Colt Pocket Model but has the distinction of having a double action mechanism.  The revolvers were originally made with a nipple shield but it is almost always removed as is the case with this one.  Coopers were quite popular during the Civil War and carried by a good many officers.--$850.
  3. origflint.JPG (43512 bytes)origflintbarl.JPG (41328 bytes)origflintlock.JPG (52209 bytes)origflintrev.JPG (53813 bytes)Very nice condition Model 1854 Austrian Lorenz musket originally produced in percussion and extensively used by Confederate infantry in the American Civil War.  In the second half of the 19th century these muskets were converted "backwards" to flint and exported to 3rd world countries.  The idea was that we are willing to sell you firearms but not "good enough ones" to ever pose a threat.  This one is in beautiful condition and is actually much rarer than the standard percussion model.  Many advanced collections are missing this weapon.--$850.
  4. whitney.JPG (40359 bytes)whitneylft.JPG (41378 bytes)whitneymrk.JPG (43158 bytes)whitneysrl.JPG (43699 bytes)36 cal. Whitney Navy Model revolver.  This is serial number 16531 which is 1861 - 1862 era production.  It has a really pretty never cleaned, attic brown, patina with sharp marks and smooth crisp action.  This was just brought into the shop and could easily have seen Southern usage.--$1,250.SOLD
  5. singshtbootpistl.JPG (61840 bytes)Single shot Civil War era boot pistol.  These were carried by Civil War soldiers as a last line of defense.  This one is in good shape but will not stay cocked sometimes.--$125.SOLD
  6. 1828wick.JPG (45534 bytes)1828wickbarl.JPG (43672 bytes)1828wicklock.JPG (61629 bytes)1828wickmrkermrk.JPG (62164 bytes)1828wickdte.JPG (64008 bytes)1828wickhp.JPG (51865 bytes)1828wickrev.JPG (56274 bytes)1828wickcart.JPG (60644 bytes)69 cal. Model 1816 "M. T. Wickham" musket originally produced in flint and converted to percussion by "Hughes and Phillips" for Civil War use.  The metal has a smooth - never cleaned - attic brown patina with marks deep enough to see across the street.  The lockplate is marked "U.S.-1828-M. T. Wickham" and the barrel is marked "H. & P." for Hughes and Phillips.  Hughes and Phillips not only converted the muskets to percussion but also rifled them and added the long range rear site.  This one has everything intact that you like to see - Both sling swivels - original ram rod - good original rifling remaining - long range site intact - and good crisp lockplate action.  The wood is really pretty as well with a deep clear inspector's cartouche.  Every Civil War collector loves seeing a nice musket in uncleaned attic condition.--$1,150.
  7. pistolcane.JPG (40929 bytes)pistolcanecocked.JPG (62242 bytes)Excellent condition 1850 - 1860 era "Pistol Cane".  These are quite rare and I haven't had one to offer in years.  Even today there are times that it would come in handy to have a walking stick that is something like a 16 gauge.  The action still works perfectly and the original walnut grips are as nice as new.  This is an item that I guarantee will be one of the most talked about items in your collection.--$795.SOLD
  8. coltpolice.JPG (51777 bytes)coltpoliceleft.JPG (56131 bytes)coltpolicemrk.JPG (45378 bytes)coltpoliceserl.JPG (52405 bytes)coltpolicepatnt.JPG (47457 bytes)Very attractive 36 cal. Model 1862 Colt Police revolver.  This one has a super early serial number of "2089" which is actually 1862 production.  The metal is clean with nice clear marks and lots of the original silver is still on the brass trigger guard.  All the serial numbers match except for the wedge which is an old replacement.  The original walnut grips are intact, as well, with about 80 % factory lacquer remaining.  This is a tough model to get in nice condition and early date.--$1,150.
  9. missrifle.JPG (44705 bytes)missriflebarrel.JPG (42293 bytes)missriflelock.JPG (60462 bytes)missrifledte.JPG (54177 bytes)missrifleus.JPG (55778 bytes)missriflepatchbox.JPG (53562 bytes)missriflerev.JPG (59483 bytes)missriflecart.JPG (58226 bytes)missriflebutt.JPG (51515 bytes)Very nice condition famous Model 1841 "Mississippi Rifle".  This one has smooth gently greying metal with lockplate markings of "1848-E. Whitney-U.S."  The wood is equally as nice with 2 inspector cartouches that are clearly visible.  The brass hardware is beautiful with the spare nipple still in the patchbox.  All the little goodies like brass tipped ramrod, both sling swivels, extra nipple, and so forth are all here.  Oh yea - It has good rifling and remains in original 54 cal.  If you've been wanting a Mississippi Rifle for your collection that you can be proud of - Here it is.--$2,250.SOLD
  10. sharpspepbox.JPG (67572 bytes)sharpspepboxlft.JPG (62844 bytes)sharpspepboxmrk.JPG (55871 bytes)sharpspepboxserial.JPG (48733 bytes)sharpspepboxserl2.JPG (55403 bytes)Very nice condition Sharps 4-barrel 22 cal. "Pepperbox" pistol.  It has the early circular "C. Sharps" mark and is serial # 12583.  The serial number on the butt matches the serial number on the barrel.  It has original walnut grips and the action is about as tight as new.  A classic little weapon that no collection should be without.--$750.
  11. richmondcarbine.JPG (45310 bytes)richmondcarbinelock.JPG (60191 bytes)richmondcarbinedate.JPG (57327 bytes)richmondcarbinemrk.JPG (58793 bytes)richmondcarbinebrsbutplt.JPG (45767 bytes)Really pretty Confederate manufacture "Richmond Carbine" for cavalry use made by shortening a 3-band Richmond musket to cavalry length.  It is "Richmond" through and through and has one of the nicest "C.S. - Richmond" marked lockplates that I have seen in ages and is dated "1863".  The brass buttplate is pure "Richmond" and has the prettiest, never cleaned, aged patina that you could hope to see.  This is a neat little Confederate weapon that any collector of Confederate artifacts would be proud to own.--SOLD
  12. italmusket.JPG (45291 bytes)italmusketbrl.JPG (41233 bytes)italmusketrev.JPG (52241 bytes)italmusket852.JPG (55686 bytes)Very attractive 69 cal. Italian Garibaldi musket out of a North Carolina estate.  The musket has very nice eye appeal with the long range site, sling swivels, and ramrod all intact.  The action still works well and it has lots of rifling remaining in the barrel.  The South imported quite a number of these and it seems most ended up in the hands of North Carolina Infantry troops as that is where we recover most of the 69 cal. Italian Garibaldi bullets.  The musket is marked "852" on the lockplate indicating 1852 production.  This is a very nice musket with tons of Southern association.--$950.SOLD
  13. csapinfire.JPG (55423 bytes)csapinfirelft.JPG (60269 bytes)csapinfiremrk.JPG (39329 bytes)"CSA" marked 7 mm French pinfire revolver.  Over the years I have seen several French pinfire revolvers with this same script "CSA" mark.  The mark is no doubt the real deal but I don't think that anyone knows the actual story behind the mark or who might have ordered the revolvers.  I wouldn't be a bit surprised that at some point in time these "CSA" marked pinfires turn out to be something really special.  This one is in nice condition overall but is missing the little folding loading door behind the cylinder.--$975.SOLD
  14. 1809pistl.JPG (44735 bytes)1809pstlrev.JPG (41511 bytes)1809lock.JPG (52307 bytes)1809lion.JPG (58340 bytes)1809date.JPG (50947 bytes)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 !!}.--$595.
  15. bradburnlondonpistol.JPG (59494 bytes)bradburnlondonpistollft.JPG (59663 bytes)1840 - 1850 era bar-hammer 6-shot Thomas Bradburn & Sons .36 cal. belt revolver.  These were imported from London and often turn up "Down in Dixie".  I'll bet that you don't have one of these in your collection.--$595.
  16. 1845pistol.JPG (58255 bytes)1845pistollock.JPG (60255 bytes)1845pistoldate.JPG (50117 bytes)1845pistolgrp.JPG (52936 bytes)1845pistolmrks.JPG (55961 bytes)69 cal. military style ornate European made single shot "horse pistol".  The pistol has beautiful engraving, and a finely checkered walnut grip, and the original lanyard ring is still intact -- and would add a touch of European flair to your collection.  This is a real nice weapon for the price.--$695.
  17. oneshotboot.JPG (72167 bytes)Civil War era single shot boot pistol of the type carried by many soldiers as a "last line of defense".  This example has a pleasing uncleaned aged patina and comes with 7 bullets for nice display.  Every collection has to have one of these.--$250.
  18. alnandwhlock.JPG (68848 bytes)alnandwhlocklft.JPG (65908 bytes)alnandwhlock1860.JPG (49242 bytes)alnandwhlockmrk.JPG (58006 bytes)Allen and Wheelock 32 cal. Sidehammer Rimfire revolver.  These were made between 1859 and 1862.  This one is a second Model - serial number 644 out of approximately 1200 produced and would be most desirable 1860 - 1861 production.  The metal has a nice aged grey patina with clearly readable marks.  The cylinder retains quite a bit of original cylinder scene.  The head of the hammer screw is snapped off and needs replacing but that is a minor thing.  This would be a great first little Civil War revolver.--$425.
  19. 51aston.JPG (50977 bytes)51astonlft.JPG (47406 bytes)51astonmker.JPG (62470 bytes)51astonbrlmrks.JPG (61141 bytes)51astonlockmrks.JPG (67545 bytes)51astoncart.JPG (73571 bytes)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.
  20. 1819singshot.JPG (50485 bytes)1819singshotrev.JPG (48382 bytes)1819singshotmark.JPG (63582 bytes)1819singshotbk.JPG (61644 bytes)Quite rare to come by - Model 1819 single shot military pistol originally in flint and converted to percussion by "R. Buckmiller" of Lancaster, PA.  It's been years since I've seen one of these offered for sale.  This little jewel will soon be 200 years old and still really nice.--$950.
  21. morsecarbine.JPG (50072 bytes)morsecarbineclose.JPG (48183 bytes)morsecarbineopen.JPG (56119 bytes)morsecarbineserial.JPG (49164 bytes)morsecarbinebreechnumber.JPG (51956 bytes)Super, super rare 50 cal. Confederate Morse carbine.  The Morse carbine was invented by George W. Morse and produced by the State Military Works of Greenville, S.C.  The machinery at the factory was captured by the Confederates out of the old Harpers Ferry Armory.  Total production is estimated at around 1000 weapons.  This example is serial # 921 and the serial number on the carbine matches the number on the breechblock.  The carbine is in nice overall condition with only one small crack across the brass breechblock that was repaired long ago.  There is no question that this is an investment grade super-rare Confederate weapon that will definitely increase in value as the years go by.--$18,950.
  22. 63parksnow.JPG (46340 bytes)63parksnowbarrel.JPG (43968 bytes)63parksnowlockplate.JPG (53054 bytes)63parksnowmrk.JPG (57272 bytes)63parksnowdate.JPG (51697 bytes)Real attractive 58 cal. Model 1861 contract 3-band rifled musket.  The metal is clean just beginning to grey with age.  The lockplate is marked "U.S.- 1863 - Parkers-Snow & Co. - Meriden, Conn."  The wood is in nice condition as well with just the normal small marks of age and service.  The musket has original ramrod and both sling swivels intact.  It does need a correct hammer screw and a rear site and both are readily available.  The action is as crisp as new and lots of bore remains.  This is a first class musket that would be a real nice addition to any collection.--$1,450.SOLD
