RIFLE. Cal. 54. S# 384. Not only is this rifle in magnificent condition, retaining virtually all of its original finish, it was purchased by the famous early collector A.E. Brooks directly from one of the original principal manufacturers Richard S. Lawrence (1817-1892). Lawrence was master armorer at Sharps Manufacturing Co. in Hartford when Brooks most likely obtained this rifle. These rifles often show up in the marketplace as muzzle loading conversions, generally in very poor condition. No doubt, this is the only near pristine example known. This gun was the precursor for the Volcanics & later Henry & Winchester rifles. There are numerous articles from various texts describing history. This particular arm was made in about 1850 & shot the patented "Rocket Ball" cartridge which was loaded through the right side of the frame. The ring trigger operates the breech & the automatic pill primer device mounted on top of frame w/ rnd. cover. Gun measures 44 1/2" overall w/ 26" rnd. browned bbl. having engraved scrolls on top at breech & near muzzle around brass blade front sight. Forward section of breech, which is rnd., retains a blued fixed rear sight. The frame is case colored w/ engraved scrolls en suite to bbl. marked on left side of frame in 2 panels "ROBBINS & LAWRENCE / MAKERS / WINDSOR VT." & "O.P. DIXON AGENT / NEW YORK / PATENTED 1849". Mounted on straight grain varnished American walnut is crescent shaped case colored buttplate w/ scroll engraving on top. Trigger guard is engraved en suite & fire blued. The rectangular loading gate door & rnd. pellet priming door are also fire blued. The hammer is case colored, engraved en suite w/ distinctive 1 1/4" tapered extension for striking pill primers. It is interesting to note that Flayderman in his monumental guide to American firearms states this example was made after the experimental Jennings repeating rifle but Brooks in his 1899 catalog states that this was the first gun made in 1849 "soon after this rifle was made it was conceived that there could be attached to it a magazine that would make this a repeating rifle, carrying 20 charges & a new model was made". Remember Brooks did obtain this gun from Richard S. Lawrence while he was in Hartford. Regardless, this is an exemplary example that has no peers & would complement the finest early American rifle or Winchester collection. Listed on page 73 of the 1899 A.E. Brooks Collection catalog as item 450, it is also noted [1562], which is the # stamped on the buttstock. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: copy of January 1852 International Magazine article. CONDITION: excellent. Bbl. & cleaning rod tube retain virtually all their original bright brown finish w/ light edge wear at muzzle. Frame, hammer & ring trigger retain much of their muted dull case color, but mostly a silver/gray patina w/ staining especially on the 1 1/2" rnd. extension to bbl. Strong traces of fire blue are found on trigger guard & inside loading gate cover & primer cover. Stock is very well fit retaining virtually all of its original factory varnish.

LEVER ACTION RIFLE FORMERLY ON LOAN AT THE CODY FIREARMS MUSEUM. Cal. 44-40. S# 31270. Bbl.28". The Winchester “1 of 1000” is among the most iconic of American arms. Oliver Winchester marketed these superior rifles by saying that of every 100 barrels manufactured, proved and tested for accuracy, the best 1 of 100 would be put aside. Once 10 superior barrels were gleaned, they would be tested for accuracy and the best of these would be marked “one of one thousand” and the other 9 barrels “one of one hundred” (though few 1 of 100s were marked). This long gleaning process produced guns of highest accuracy and were priced at $80-100 when standard model was $30. This gun was made famous among gun collectors when Universal Studios was filming “Winchester 73” starring Jimmy Stewart. This rifle was the 4th of the “1 of 1000s” reported during the nationwide search by the movie company in 1950 (23 1 of 1000s were located during this search).

B COMPANY 102, INSCRIBED “ANDREAS S VIESCA” PROMINENT MEXICAN GENERAL. Cal. 44. Everyone knows the history of Walker revolvers and their association with American troops in Mexico. These guns were made for the US Dragoons in the Mexican War. Capt. Samuel H. Walker, the inspiration to Samuel Colt for the manufacture of these massive 4 pound revolvers and the Commander of Company C was killed October 9, 1847 in Mexico. By Oct. 26, 1847, this revolver was probably one of the 496 issued to various companies in Mexico including 394 to Colonel Jack Hays’ Texans. Only 316 were returned due to battle, theft, or retained by soldiers as these were the most powerful handguns produced to date and were used to great effect in the recently ended Mexican war. Many of the returned Walkers were issued to the Texas Rangers in San Antonio and when the Civil War began, the arsenal was seized by Confederates and no doubt some were carried in the war. Was this one? What makes this gun so exciting is not only it's fine condition but the etched name (in old English manuscript font) inside the triggerguard under grips “ANDRES S. VIESCA”. Andres Saturnino Viesca (1827-1908) was a prominent Mexican General and 4-time Governor of Coahuila which borders Texas and prior to 1845 was “Coahuila y Tejas” (Coahuila and Texas) where Viesca was born which was part of Texas until Texas annexation. When Confederate General Jo Shelby went to Mexico after the Civil War instead of surrendering; he dealt with Governor Viesca directly who was not enamored with Shelby marching through his territory with cannon & a large part of his army. Where and when did General Andres S. Viesca get this gun? He was 20 years old when this gun entered Mexico the first time. Did it stay, or did Jo Shelby have something to do with it 19 years later? Regardless, we know Viesca had it due to his name being etched on it in southwestern style. Another layer of interest surrounding this unique Walker is that it was featured over 80 years ago in the 1940 Far West Hobby Shop catalog marketing the David L. Ingalls collection. There were two Walkers listed for sale; C Company No. 43 for $850 as well as B Company No. 102 for $550. The additional pedigree surrounding the provenance provides an additional level of significance to the collecting community. This revolver is much better than most Walkers encountered & is original and authentic in most respects with standard configuration 8 15/16" octagonal to round barrel with shortened German silver front sight, very crisp “ADDRESS SAM COLT NEW YORK CITY” on top flat. Right side of barrel housing is marked “US / 1847" with wedge screw partially obscuring mark. The “8” in date often seen upside down, like here, with the larger loop on top. Wedge is an unmarked replacement but appears of the period with matching surface and patina. Cylinder is extremely nice with a near perfect Ormsby rolled “dragoon fight” cylinder scene, serviceable single safety pin. The cylinder is serial numbered “B COMPANY 106”, four off other matching numbers. The cylinder also has the sequence number “546” still very crisp on back of cylinder. As B Company guns were made after C and A, and sequentially numbered starting with C #1, 220 guns made in C & A, sequential number for B 106 would be the sum of 220, 220, 106 which is “546”. Rarely is this number even partly discernible. The full serial number “B COMPANY 102” is found on left side of barrel housing, frame and on the bottom of buttstrap. The abbreviated number “B COMy No 102” is found on the trigger guard and that number was attempted to have been removed but all still visible. The cylinder as noted has serial number “B COM-Y 106”. Serial number 102 is found internally on arbor & right side of triggerguard under grips. The grips are original Walker but are numbered “96”, six off other matching numbers. The number is not visible on face of frame where it mates with barrel housing. The loading assembly has been replaced with Walker style and was noted in 1940 as such. This gun was updated with Colt dragoon style latch as so many were in 1850’s by Colt. The filled mortice on bottom of barrel near muzzle where latch was attached is still visible. Most early Walker collectors changed these loading levers back to the Walker style like early collector David Ingalls must have. This is a fine authentic Walker revolver that presents much better than a majority on the market over the last few years and the added history of being owned by a prominent Mexican General and 4-time Governor of Coahuila (which borders Texas) adds to its history and desirability. Very few Walkers have associated history and few have cylinders as fine as this one. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: bound file containing letters of authenticity by R.L Wilson and Herb Glass, Jr. It is of note that the original 1940 description by George Smoots listed the etched name on the triggerguard as “Andres S. Niesca” instead of the correct “Andres S. Viesca”. CONDITION: very good to fine overall and superior for most Walkers encountered. Matching serial numbers on most parts, serial number 96 on grips and 106 on cylinder. Barrel address is among the best you will find, very discernible. Markings on barrel housing are weak but “B COMPANY 102” is complete and discernible, “US / 1847” has the “7” and part of bottom of “8” hard to discern as seen in photos. Serial number on frame is all discerned. Iron has an overall mottled gray patina with some brightness to cylinder with mostly discernible Ormsby “dragoon fight” rolled scene and well defined pressure ridge. Back of cylinder shows light wear and its functional single safety pin. Sequential cylinder number “546” is crisp. Scattered light pitting, most on backstrap and serial number is worn but all discernible. Brass triggerguard is cleaned and overall a light mustard patina, the serial number has been partially scratched away but still discernible. Grip has repaired toe on right side, and repaired toe & 1” inset adjacent to frame on left side. Grips retain no discernible inspector cartouches and are shrunk from backstrap, heavy edge wear & hand worn patina. Mechanics are fine, strong sharp bore with light pitting.

EXPOSITION, COLT LONDON POCKET MODEL PERCUSSION REVOLVER. Cal. 31. S# 26. Bbl. 5". This is a very rare and beautifully engraved Colt Model 1849 most likely made for the Dublin Exposition of 1853. The engraving style is unique with floral and rococo designs. The barrel address is hand engraved in unique small lettering not seen on any other revolver.

Deluxe grips are nicely burled with fine color. The casing also has unique carved mother of pearl flower shaped compartment knob not seen on any other specimen. Larry Wilson in his Colt Engraving text shows this gun and states there are three types of London engraving and cites this example as being the rarest if not unique. Gun appears original, complete and authentic as manufactured though serial number on cylinder does not match balance of gun though still two digits “95”. There are other Colt exhibition guns known with unserialized cylinders, this gun possibly was rushed for the exposition and this was the cylinder available. Most likely this is the only Model 1849 with this style of engraving as made for the Dublin Exposition in 1853 and this 2 digit gun was first year produced in London.

CONSECUTIVE NUMBERED CASED SET ENGRAVED BY ALVIN A. WHITE. ALL: cal. 45. S# 61683SA, 4 3/4” w/ class “A” engraving; S# 61684SA , 5 1/2” w/ class “B” engraving; S# 61685SA, 7 1/2” w/ class “C” engraving & S# 61686SA, 12” w/ class “Custom” engraving. Prior to 1973 Colt engraving nomenclature was A, B, C, and Custom & was then changed to A, B, C, and D in late 1973. This is an outstanding 4 gun cased set that is consecutive numbered. Blue & case hardened finish, case hardening is outstanding & indicative of the quality of work from the early 70's. All have 2 piece walnut grips w/ deep dish medallions like those used in the 1920’s, w/ 4 different barrel lengths and 4 different classes of engraving offered by Colt in 1973, all executed by the Dean of American Engraving, Alvin A. White. These 4 guns were shipped from Colt on November 14, 1972 “in the white” to A.A. White Engravers Inc. for engraving and finishing as stated in the enclosed factory letter. Also enclosed is a letter dated November 17, 1972 from A.A. White Engravers Inc. and signed by the manager at that time, R.L. (Larry) Wilson to the customer stating they had received the guns from Colt, were ready to proceed with engraving and had the old style medallions on hand as well. The intent was to have them completed for the customer to take to the Las Vegas show in February 1973 but that did not happen. The engraving was performed personally by Alvin White (not just someone in his shop) and completed in October 1973 as shown on the enclosed letter dated May 1st, 1989 to the current consigner. In this letter Alvin White states that the buntline was “D” engraved instead of “Custom” engraved most likely because it was at the time of transition in nomenclature for late 1973, and subsequently class “D” came to be known as “full coverage”. However this buntline is custom engraved, not full coverage. The rarity of a 4 gun engraved consecutive numbered set with the 4 different classes of engraving and 4 different barrel lengths in Second Generation Colts is unequalled. These 4 guns were part of the Colt Collectors Association display at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody WY in 2003 and are pictured on page 309 of the book “Colt and Its Collectors”. This lot has been in the private collection of the consigner for over 30 years and not previously offered at auction. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: as noted above to include factory letter, RL Wilson letter & Alvin White letter w/in binder. Four gun walnut display case w/ red velour French fit interior. CONDITION: all are as new in the case w/ unturned cylinders, outstanding case hardening indicative of the quality of work for the early 70's. 1) S# 61683SA. (20-111/WD). 2) S# 61684SA. (20-112/WD). 3) S# 61685SA. (20-113/WD). 4) S# 61686SA. (20-114/WD). ALL CURIO. $20,000 - $30,000.

ENGRAVED SEPARATELY CASED PAIR. BOTH: cal. 44 Special. S# 22SPL & 33SPL. Bbls. 7 1/2” and 5 1/2” respectively. Blue & case hardened, walnut grips w/ silver medallions & class “C” plus engraving as stated on the enclosed factory letter. “Custom Edition” is 24k gold inlaid on the left side of the barrel as well as the serial number in 24k gold. The style of engraving is that used on most Colt SAA revolvers prior to 1921 and this is the only factory letter that we have ever seen that describes the engraving as “C plus”. Both have 2 piece walnut grips w/ silver Rampant Colt medallions. These two guns were part of a 50 gun custom edition that was produced in 1976 using 2nd generation parts to launch the establishment of the Colt Custom Gun Shop. The even numbered guns were 7 1/2” bbl. and the odd numbered guns were 5 1/2” bbl. These guns are well known and pictured in four different books. Wilson’s “Colt Engraving” on page 489, Garton’s “Colt’s SAA Post War Models” on page 132, Wilkerson’s “The Post-War Colt Single Action Revolver (1st Edition, 1978)" on page 89, Wilkerson’s “The Post-War Colt Single Action Revolver (2nd Edition, 1980)" on page 242. The two Wilkerson books are included as a part of this lot. Also included as a part of this lot is a 1977 magazine article from “Aqua Field” explaining about the long history of engraved guns at Colt and the establishment of the Colt Custom Shop in 1976. Included is a 1980 advertisement from “Cherry’s Sporting Goods News” explaining the connection between the issuing of this 50 piece custom edition in 44 Special and the launching of the Custom Shop. Also included in this lot are original photos of the Custom Shop Superintendent, Al DeJohn and 3 of the in-house engravers: Leonard Francolini, Robert Burt, and Dan Goodwin at their work benches. For the collector of Colt factory engraved SAA this is an opportunity to take a step forward in upgrading their collection w/ factory engraved guns that are gold inlaid, pictured in several books, have historical ties to the Colt Custom Shop, and all of that in 2nd generation. This array of complete documentation enhances the overall value of firearms and stands out, whether being displayed at a show or within your collection. This lot has been in the private collection of the consigner for over 30 years and not previously offered at auction. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: both guns are housed in walnut display cases w/ French fitted gold velvet. As described above to include 2 factory letters, "Aqua Field" article; "Cherry's" advertisement & original photographs w/in a binder along with 2 Wilkerson books.

SAA REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY. Cal. 45 Colt. S# 6713. This particular SAA was just added to the database July 2019. This gun falls into lot seven (no. 6157-7527). Group seven (issued in 1874) typically is considered outside the Custer S# range however there are at least 3 documented Custer seventh Cavalry guns in this group. There is little doubt that this gun was the property of a deserter of a U.S. Cavalry regiment as "US" markings have been purposefully removed. A deserter would not want to be found w/ evidence of a Government owned gun. This is a very nice example of a no doubt Indian War Cavalryman carried early SAA in original configuration w/ 7 1/2" bbl. w/ traces of original blue & case color having correct 1 line Hartford address. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: accompanying this gun is a detailed 2 page letter from well known Custer authority & historian John A. Kopec. CONDITION: all major portions of this gun are original & overall in very good condition. The only items not original to its 1874 mfg. would be a replaced 2nd style ejector housing & the base pin screw has been changed to a knurled cap screw, which is a most interesting alteration. S#'s are found on bbl., frame, trigger guard, backstrap & inked inside backstrap channel of grip. As noted previously, the inspector cartouche on left grip has been scratched off. Grips have fine hand worn patina overall including area where inspection was removed, chipped inside left front toe, light tacking marks. Ainsworth "A" sub inspector marks are found on bbl., trigger guard, cyl. & backstrap. The "A" on cyl. is only partially seen as there is a distinct gouge mark removing it. Left side of frame has 2 line patent markings & did have "U.S.", signifying government ownership, but both letters have been obliterated leaving just the periods behind the 2 letters. Whoever stole this gun from the U.S. Cavalry took good care of it as it still has crisp action & a crisp rifled bore. (01-16836/JS). ANTIQUE. $10,000-15,000.

ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER. Cal. 45. S# 6565. This serial number was just added to the database in mid 2014. It is only 6 serial numbers removed from a single action (Sn 6559) that belonged to Custer’s 7th US Cavalry at the date of the Custer battle, June 25, 1876. John Kopec noted author & historian is the accepted authority on Custer Era Colt single action revolvers. His letters of authentication document history & physical characteristics of the specific gun. His letter accompanies this SAA. Usual configuration other than bbl. has been shortened 5 5/8”, this gun also was found & w/ ivory grips which have been properly restored w/ wood. Correct 1 line script letter address, left side of frame has 2 line patent dates & "U.S." stamped upside down (there are 8 other guns in this serial range w/ this same most unusual “upside down US” ranging from serial number 6538-6764). Tiny "A" (Orville W. Ainsworth) sub-inspector initials found on several parts including bottom of bbl., trigger guard, backstrap & cyl. Matching S#'s were found on the frame, trigger guard, backstrap & cyl. Ejector housing is 3rd. type w/ new bullseye ejector rod head. A bbl. stud has been affixed to the bbl. when this gun was modified w/ shortened bbl. & new ejector. Base pin is correct type w/ dimpled ends. Revolver has early features consisting of a sharp toe on the buttstrap & lg. cyl. stop notches w/out approaches. This revolver was part of Lot 7 from which the 1st, 2nd & 7th Cavalry regiments were issued the "new" revolvers in 1874 w/ the 7th Cavalry receiving unknown number of revolvers from the S# range 6517 – 7527. Probably the most significant Custer identified Lot 7 revolver is serial number 7047 which was recovered from the Custer Battlefield in 1933. The fact that this revolver has remained in original configuration until today is indicative that it escaped the recalls of the 1890s & early 20th century & further promotes the idea that it may have been captured by hostiles in June 1876. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: letter of authentication. CONDITION: good overall. Bbl. address, s#'s & inspector marks are discernible. As noted, grips are proper restorations, there are several replay screws, ejector is replaced, bbl. was privately shortened & a modified front sight was added. Even though well used, cleaned & restored; this gun presents beautifully w/ crisp markings, only top line of patents on frame is weak & the well struck upside down US is quite the novelty.

GUN. Cal. 45/70. S# 002. Bbl. 31”. A beautiful brass, full size, functional reproduction of the iconic Navy Gatling gun. The Navy versions were distinct in their bold, brass encasement of the rotating barrel assembly which continues from the standard round brass receiver. Receiver markings resemble early Colt markings on top of the receiver, both behind and in front of the feed mechanism, in this case the Accles power feed mechanism. Forward engravings read "Manufactured by Colt's Patented Firearms Manufacturing Co. Hartford, Connecticut" engraved in large script, to rear of the feed mechanism is a 3 5/8" diameter name plate with a modern level inset in center & marked "Gatling Gun Patented", directly behind name plate, on receiver is engraved "Model 1883 No. 002 Cal. 45". Overall length 52” w/ trunnions measuring 1.25” in diameter. It appears that an enormous amount of effort and detail was incorporated into this build to have not only the appearance seem original, but to provide an authentic experience both in displaying and utilizing this iconic symbol of history. The feed device included, the Accles power feed, is often referred to as a 100 round magazine, though it is not uncommon for them to hold any capacity between 99-104 rounds, (we are uncertain of the capacity on this gun). MAGS: 1 Accles Power Feed Drum. CONDITION: gun itself is very good overall with much tarnish on brass components from having been a centerpiece of a display for many years. Action and mechanics appear to function properly under manual inspection and operation. The carriage itself while aesthetically pleasing would be rated at fair condition as it appears rather frail. The large 19th century antique wheels are very weathered and are believed to be too weak for much actual use. This gun has a wonderful age patina to the point of looking very authentic and original; it doesn’t appear as though its had excessive use and while the bores still retain a significant amount of rifling, a light patina is visible that may be rectified as simple as a light oiling & regular maintenance. (20-463/JZ). MODERN. $20,000-30,000.

Cal. 45-70. S# 1006. Bbl. 31”. A full scale, functional reproduction of the well known 1883 Battery Gun. These guns boasted a large round brass receiver with an exposed 10 barrel cluster. This gun boasts heavy duty circular name plate with the original Gatling nomenclature, directly behind the feed mechanism that reads “GATLING’S BATTERY GUN / PAT. NOV 4. 1862 / MAY 9. 1865 / FEB 28. 1871 / APR 9. 1872 / MADE BY COLT’S PT. FIRE ARMS / MFG CO / HARTFORD, CONN. U.S.A.” Running parallel with the barrel cluster are 2 steel frame rails on either side, right side of receiver rail marked "Thunder Valley Machine Co. Clinton, Ohio. SN 1006 (6 of 6)". The feed mechanism is the circular Accles positive feed device, the feed device included, the Accles power feed is often referred to as a 100 round magazine though it is not uncommon for them to hold any capacity between 99-104 rounds, (we are uncertain of the capacity on this gun). The gun is mounted on a large wheeled, wooden carriage attached with a brass yoke. Though it is not identical to the original Colt offering, this appears to be a well made, functional Gatling that would find itself a centerpiece in a collection or on the firing line. MAGS: 1 Accles power feed drum. CONDITION: both mechanically and aesthetically, this appears to be in good condition, possibly only having been fired very lightly; despite the carriage being a creation of the manufacturer it appears to be well suited for display, though the very early wheels have fallen prey to some weathering, the mechanism including bolts & internal gearing have been inspected & oiled, fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand, utilizing snap caps, bores retain very good rifling. (20-462/JZ). MODERN. $17,000-20,000.

ILLUSTRATED ADVERTISING POSTER. This famous color lithograph of Frank Schoonover (1877-1972) painting of “Tex” on his horse, Patches, measures 30" x 19" in 41" x 28" frame. Schoonover in an interview relating to his most famous painting: “put a badge into the picture- artistic license”. Tex Randerson, was a ranch foreman and was considered one of the finest long-distance riders of his time. When Tex had a particularly hard section to ride, he always picked Patches, a rawboned surefooted cause. It was said "Patches was almost human when it was necessary to get back to camp on a dark night… Tex and Patches just naturally made pictures when they were together and it was always fine to see them on some little butte, horse and rider outlined against the sky". Not only was this 1925 Schoonover painting his most popular, he painted several versions, including this one utilized by Colt in 1926. Though not rare, this poster is quite scarce in fine, original condition w/ bright colors like this example. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: authenticity & guarantee letter from an earlier offering.

exist) CONFEDERATE COFER PATENT CARTRIDGE PERCUSSION REVOLVER. Cal. 36. S# 7. This is unquestionably one of the very rarest, if not the rarest, Confederate handgun known. In fact, it is the only Confederate firearm ever patented, “Patent #9” which was granted August 12th, 1861 to Thomas W. Cofer of Portsmouth, Virginia. The patent was for this very gun & this unique pistol described in his patent has a unique 2 piece cylinder utilizing a specially made percussion cartridge. This rare example has a top strap marked in two lines “T.W. Cofers Patent/August 1861”. Apparently Cofer sold at least 17 revolvers to the Confederate government as noted by a January 18th, 1862 receipt & these were most likely issues to the 5th Virginia Cavalry. “#7” is stamped on the brass butt strap of the grip frame. Bbl. marked in a single line “Portsmouth, VA”. To our knowledge, there are only two of these extraordinarily rare & unique Confederate pistols known to currently exist. This one, by far, is the best example. However, it is not perfect. The gun is currently complete & includes two superb replica cartridges. These unique cartridges, which have a nipple on the back to hold the percussion cap, are one of the rarest cartridges extent. This example, as indicated, is by far the better of the two surviving examples & features original finish, an unusual feature w/ most genuine Confederate pistols. Most Confederate pistols lack hardly any finish at all because of the tremendous amount of use, this example however has plenty of finish which is in part due to the catastrophic failure which apparently occurred during the period of use when the gun was fired on some occasion, it broke the frame & blew off the bbl. This rare revolver was beautifully restored by pioneer Confederate collector, Burkley Lewis, over 50 years ago. The restoration is excellent & very difficult to discern & displays extremely well. Restoration with most collectable guns is not desirable but w/ Confederate handguns, it is well know, that the majority of them are either in poor condition or, in many cases, have had some degree of restoration. In some cases, very minor restoration while some guns have major restoration. It is exceedingly rare to find an excellent example of any Confederate revolver. When one measures the rarity, the uniqueness & desirability of this extremely important firearms & how well it presents, it is unquestionably highly desirable. There are only two examples of this ultimate Confederate rarity & even though restored, it is the better of the two survivors for completeness & condition. This revolver is highly important & has outstanding pedigree in regards to its collection history having been part of several of the finest Confederate arms collections in America until its current offering. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: there is a large file accompanying this gun showing the history & provenance. NOTE: We know of a third Cofer cartridge revolver but it is not a martial gun, it is smaller in size and is NOT the one described in Cofers patent. CONDITION: fine overall, as restored. There are illustrations that exist on the gun before it was restored that depict the original damage. The restoration includes some work on the front of the frame, as well as the bbl. restoration. Mechanically in fine order with pitted dark rifle bore. Checkered grips have 2 old insert repairs, moderate age wear & hand worn patina. This is without question the rarest of Confederate issued revolvers extent. PROVENANCE: Burton D. Munhall (1910-1997) collection.

THE CONFEDERATE FLAG ONCE CARRIED BY THE 7TH TEXAS INFANTRY BEING THE FINEST & PERHAPS MOST HISTORIC CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG & UNQUESTIONABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT CONFEDERATE TEXAS BATTLE FLAG KNOWN TO EXIST. This extremely rare flag, rectangular in shape, is referred to as a “Southern Cross Confederate Battle Flag”. It is in the patent of the Army of Tennessee, measuring 49” on the hoist by 66” on the fly. It is double-sided, single piece flag sporting 15 single-applique cut-out stars on each side. The unit designation “7th XS” is sewn polished cotton on both sides. The battle honors are applied on the other side only including Fort Donelson, Raymond Chickamauga, Tunnel Hill, Ringgold Gap and crossed cannons earned during Battle of Chickamauga when Greggs Brigade helped capture a battery of Union cannons. The 7th Texas Regiment was a renowned unit which fought for the Confederacy during the war. On October 2nd, 1861 at Marshall, Texas, nine infantry companies were organized into a regiment. The force behind this organization was John Gregg, District Judge from Fairfield, Texas. Gregg received a Colonel’s commission and the authority to raise an infantry regiment. The regiment was sent by train to Shreveport & marched to Memphis, Tennessee and in November of 1861 was in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment was Jeremiah M. Clough, who was previously a District Attorney w/ Harrison County. The Major of the unit was Hiram Bronson Granbury, formerly a member of the renowned Texas Rangers and he also served as Chief Justice of McLennan County. In February of 1862, the unit arrived at Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River. After two days of vicious fighting, Fort Donelson was surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant and the surviving members of the 7th Texas Unit (with the exception of those men who were able to escape & some of whom later served in Terry’s Texas Rangers in the 9th Texas Infantry). All of the 7th Texas Unit that was captured went to a Northern Prison until September of 1862 when they were exchanged at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Col. Gregg was promoted to Brigadier General in August of 1862 & Major Granbury was promoted to Colonel. By February of 1863, it had acquired enough troops to regain its regimental status & was placed in Brigadier General Gregg’s aid. In May 1863, they were sent to Raymond, Mississippi where the 7th Texas were engaged in a horrendous battle which resulted in a loss over 50% of men. The 7th, together with the other unites of Gregg’s Brigade, fought valiantly & conspicuously and after the battle a Federal Commander stated he was convinced that he had been attacked by an entire division rather than a brigade. In 1863, the brigade was sent to Jackson, Mississippi, once again seeing much fighting & action. In mid-September of 1863, they were involved in the great Battle of Chickamauga where they once again lost a number of their men. The 7th Texas conspicuously participated in the final charge which drove the Union army from the field & into siege at Chattanooga. After Chickamauga, the 7th Texas was placed in the brigade of James A. Smith of Major General Patrick R. Cleburne’s division. Here the 7th Texas would remain until the end of the war. On November 25th & 26th 1863, they participated in the Battle of Missionary Ridge & the 7th Texas helped to defend the Confederate right. General Smith & his second in command were both wounded which thus elevated Col. Granbury to Brigade Commander. General Braxton Bragg’s center & left collapsed and his army retreated. Cleburne’s men, including the 7th Texas, occupied the post of honor that being the rear guard. On November 27th, 1863, Cleburne & his unit received additional glory at the Battle of Ringgold Gap for their incredible action in the campaign. Cleburne’s division won the thanks of the Confederate Congress and on February of 1864, Colonel Granbury was promoted to Brigadier General and command of the brigade. By May of 1864, the Army of Tennessee opposed Sherman’s advance on Atlanta & fought for over 100 days. Once again, the 7th Texas gained new glory at places like Pickett’s Mill, Kennesaw Mountain, Atlanta, Jonesboro, & LoveJoys Station. During this campaign, the 7th Texas once again lost a number of men. On November 30th, 1864 (the date the flag was captured by Union forces), the 7th Texas fought heroically in Franklin, Tennessee. In one instance, charging without the benefit of artillery against entrenched Federal positions. During this desperate battle, a great number of 7th Texas were killed, wounded or captured and Brigadier General Granbury & Major Cleburne were among the killed. The Commander of the 7th Texas, John William Brown, was also captured and at the end of the day, Captain Edward Thomas Broughton of the 7th Texas commanded the brigade. The Confederates pursued the Federal Army to the environs of Nashville & on December 15th & 16th, 1864, two days of battle ensued. The 7th Texas and the rest of the brigade fought well but were eventually driven back from the field. On April 26th, 1865, the regiment accompanied the Army of Tennessee into the Carolina’s where they surrendered to Major William Tecumseh Sherman. After the war, numerous men for the 7th Texas distinguished themselves as business & civic leaders, particularly William L. Moody and K.M. Van Zandt. The people of Texas memorialized John Gregg as Gregg County in East Texas named in his honor. Granbury in Hood County is named in honor of General Hiram B. Granbury. The 7th Texas was truly a historic & distinguished regiment in the Texas Confederate Army. The flag of the 7th Texas is one of the finest Confederate flags currently in private hands & possibly the finest ever offered at public auction. One of the most desirable attributes of a historic flag is its graphic design & condition and here the 7th Texas flag is exemplary. Its’ brilliant red background with huge blue cross interposed with beautiful sewn through starts, is ornately embellished w/ numerous battle honors. There are only a handful of Confederate Battle flags today in private hands with battle honors but this is the only Texas Confederate Battle flag left in private hands having battle honors. This example is in incredible condition & the numerous battle honors on the flag include Chickamauga, Ringgold Gap, Fort Donelson, Raymond, & Tunnel Hill. In addition, it features the “Crossed Cannons” which was earned during the Battle of Chickamauga, when Gregg’s Brigade helped capture a battery of Union artillery. The 7th Texas flag shows three styles of battle honors. One artist did the unit designation (on both sides) and the “Fort Donelson” battle honor. Another did “Ramond” (sic) and “Chickamauga”. Still another painted the cross cannon honors awarded to the regiment for capturing Federal guns at Chickamauga where Gregg’s Brigade shattered the Federal center. The honors for “Tunnel Hill” and “Ringgold Gap” are the most interesting however. Done in white paint they are the same style of honors painted on Hardee/Cleburne battle flag of the 17th & 18th Texas Cavalry (Dismounted) that was captured in the Battle of Atlanta in July 1864, this suggests that the same artist painted the honors on these two flags. Other flags of Cleburne’s Division were decorated by different artists in different styles. The flag is truly exemplary but the history of the flag itself is also exemplary. There was only one other flag like this made & known to exist, the other one however does not have the rare & fabulous battle honors found on the flag of the 7th. The second flag was the flag of the 50th Tennessee, which now resides in the State Museum of Tennessee. The 50th Tennessee flag, however, only exists in fragments & as stated earlier, has no battle honors. The 7th Texas flag is truly distinguished in both graphic design, condition, & replete with these extraordinary battle honors. The flag was originally acquired by the regiment sometime prior to May 10th, 1863 and Major K.M. Van Zandt of the 7th Texas in a letter to his wife described the acquisition of the flag that they acquired before the Vicksburg and Chickamauga campaigns, which the 7th Texas was very much involved in. The flag was lost to Union forces on November 30th, 1864 in a fierce battle. At the time, the flag was carried by Ira B. Saddler of Company A, 7th Texas Infantry, CSA. Saddler was appointed First Lieutenant & Ensign of the Regiment by Secretary of War on March 13, 1864. He was recommended by Captain Collet, who was commanding the 7th Texas on April 7th, 1864 and was referenced by Captain Collet as “having engaged in many battles and always distinguished himself with coolness and bravery”. This recommendation was forwarded by Brigadier General Granbury, also in which he said “He is intelligent. Brave, and entirely devoted to the cause”. All of this was forwarded to General P.R. Cleburne, Lieutenant General Hardee, & General J.E. Johnston. Saddler was twice wounded while carrying the flag. He carried the flag with honor for 7 months. In Atlanta, during a fierce battle, he was wounded in the thumb and eventually lost his thumb. After recuperating, later on November 30th, 1864, he was severely wounded and at that time, the flag was captured. The flag has various blood stains on it, some of which are likely from Saddler’s wound. Saddler did not live long after the war but distinguished himself both during the ware and after. In 1870, he was in the Waco, Texas census and was elected to the Texas House of Representations of the 14th Legislative Session in 1874-1875 representing the 19th District (which included Coryell, McLennan, Brown, Bosque, Hamilton, Coleman, Reynolds, and Comanche counties). By 1880, he resided in Brownwood w/ his wife, Rebecca, & their children, Lila, Edgar, & Delta, where he was practicing law. Saddle, who was born June 20th, 1844, finally died in January of 1881 before he reached his 40th birthday. The capture of the flag itself was also highly noteworthy. Major Arthur McArthur, who was the father of the famous Douglas McArthur of World War II & Korean War fame, was badly wounded while trying to capture this flag. In a biography of regiment by William J.K. Beaudot, it explicitly described Major McArthur’s heroic charge. Beaudot described as follows, “I saw the Colonel (Major Arthur McArthur) sabering his way towards the leading Confederate flag. His horse was shot under him, a bullet ripped through his right shoulder, but on foot, he fought his way forward trying to bring down those “stars and bars”.”. Capt. Ed parsons recalled, “A Confederate Major now had the flag & shot the Colonel in the breast. I thought he was done for but he staggered up & drove his sword through his adversary’s body & even as the Confederate fell, he shot the Colonel through the knee.” The battle took place on the grounds of the Carter House & included desperate hand to hand fighting, the Confederates almost enjoyed a break out chance at victory. McArthur, now grievously wounded, understandably at that moment did not capture the flag however Charles Hartung of the 24th Wisconsin must have pick up the flag. Captain Hartung was w/ the 24th Wisconsin Infantry & he had come from Germany as a young man, worked w/ his father in his father’s show shop & learned the trade. He followed this occupation up until 1860 when he enlisted July 23rd, 1861, serving the entire war. He was wounded in 1862 at the Battle of Williamsburg & was honorably discharged in 1865 at Nashville, Tennessee. He resided in Green Bay where he established himself in business, first w/ a grocery store & later going into the hardware business. This flag was publicly displayed for many years in his hardware store. He continued in the hardware business for 37-1/2 years & was distinguished as one of the oldest merchants living in the city. He was Deputy Collector of the United States for 3-1/2 years & did constructive work as mayor of Green Bay. For 7 years, he was Alderman for the Second Ward & did valuable and important work in his capacity, as he did in all aspects of his public life. Twenty years after the expiration of his last term as Alderman, he was again elected by the City Council & served 8 years w/ conspicuous success. The flag’s provenance is documented quite well. In May 1959, one of the most famous gun dealers in Texas history, Leon “Red” Jackson of Dallas, Texas, acquired the flag. A copy of his letter to the purchaser of the flag (who was Ed Startzman), states that Jackson bought the 7th Texas Flag from Donald Westover of Appleton, Wisconsin. Westover had purchased the flag in an estate auction for Captain Hartung’s daughter. Both of Hartung’s daughters never married & the daughter in question had died in 1948 when Westover purchased the flag. Westover apparently knew the flag was in Ms. Hartung’s possession & later learned the flag had been on display at her father’s hardware store for many years in Green Bay. The flag apparently remained in the Startzman family’s possession until sometime after his death when it was sold again a few years ago. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: accompanying this flag is a large file of history & conservation records. CONDITION: there are extensive blood stains that are on the reverse hoist edge, the adverse & reverse saltire in the hoist quadrant, & several stars nearest the hoist. The blood has caused degradation of cotton gauze of several stars. The flag quadrant is worn & tattered w/ several small tears & one large tear running the fold width of the flag. The fibers of the fly quadrant are worn & faded commensurate w/ considerable use/flapping of the flag. The extreme fly edge stars & cross suffer some loss & wear. Several projectile holes are scattered about the flag. Some paint loss of honors is noted, especially that on the sewn cloth honors of Ramond & Chickamauga. This flag is an honor banner from regiment commanded by two commanders whose names are emblemized on the honor rolls of Texas Military History – John Gregg and Hiram Granby, not to mention being carried under Major General Patrick Cleburne at Franklin where both Cleburne & Granby were killed. It is a truly rare & special opportunity to own an extraordinary Texas historical treasure. (02-13541/JS). $250,000-450,000

Typical early war "Stars & Bars" 1861. Measuring 69" long by 40" wide, two red bars & one white bar w/ blue canton & seven stars in circle in canton. Hoist consists of folded over blue bunting 1 3/4". Constructed of wool bunting, hand & machine stitched. Stitched to cotton backing & mounted in a gray wooden frame w/ plexiglass cover. Before his death, George Wray indicated that this flag had a Georgia provenance, perhaps carried to war in 1861 by a Georgia regiment. To date, after a thorough examination of his research files, no hard evidence of this association has been found. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: a copy of conservation report is included. CONDITION: flag has not been removed from its frame for thorough examination, but the following features are clearly evident. An approx. 16" by 10" rectangular section of the upper red bar shows considerable fading, along w/ 2 narrow strips on the lower red bar, an indication that the flag was folded & exposed to light in these areas. Creases from this folding are still evident. Flag is missing approximately 10–15% of its fabric, especially in the white bar. Missing sections have been replaced w/ appropriately colored backing cloth. All 7 stars are replaced w/ white silk fabric along w/ other conservation by Becky Sudsbury at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (“MESDA”) in Winston Salem, NC, 1983. PROVENANCE: Ex George Wray Collection; Atlanta History Center 2005. (02-12966/JS). $10,000-15,000.

AMERICAN FLAG WITH HANDSTITCHED STARS. 45 1/2" x 29 1/2" Early 13 star flag w/ uniquely arranged stars on the blue canton. Canton measures approx. 17” x 15 1/4" w/ hand sewn, white cotton, double applique stars measuring between 4 1/4" & 3 1/2" from point to point. 1 1/8” Cotton hoist has 5 heavily hand stitched cotton loops approx. every 7” for attachment.

The hem on the fly end is hand sewn utilizing 2 or 4 layers of fabric. The top & bottom of the flag have selvage edges. Oral history from the consignor states that the flag originated from the Henry Ellis Warren Estate in Ashland, MA. The Warren family has a rich history in the Massachusetts Militia as well as state & federal politics. Among the many famous Warrens in Mass. history, is Joseph Warren who was Henry E. Warren’s third great grandfather. This flag was likely kept around the Warren homestead to honor the service of Captain Joseph Warren in the 6th Middlesex Militia of Massachusetts, otherwise known as Reed’s Regiment. CONDITION: the flag is surprisingly solid & colors remain quite vivid. It shows slight soiling & staining w/ scattered sm. losses & threadbare areas.

SASH & TROUSERS OF MAJOR GENERAL MARTIN LUTHER SMITH. This is the only regulation General's uniform to ever come to market with direct family descent. This coat for many years was on display, while loaned, at the Museum of the Confederacy (now the Museum of the American Civil War) in Richmond, Virginia. This coat, like the other uniform items in this archive have been professionally conserved & conservation reports accompany each. The coat is regulation gray wool made in New Orleans originally as a Brigadier General's coat with buttons in groups of 2. Martin Luther Smith was promoted to Brigadier General on April 11, 1862 & had his photograph made in this exact coat in Brigadier General configuration. He was promoted to Major General & was confirmed in that rank less than a year later in April 1863. This coat was then modified by resewing button holes, quite expertly & changing the positions instead of groups of 2 to groups of 3. Sleeves balloon to 8 1/2" at elbows with 4-strand flat metal quatrefoil braid terminating in regulation gold/buff 5 1/2" cuffs. The gold/buff stand up collar has metallic braid hand stitched in scrolls which originally held 3 bullion stars on either side. The central star on each side is missing but the original sewing threads are still present outlining that star. The high resolution ambrotype taken of Smith as a brigadier clearly shows the unique scrolled metallic braid. There are a total of 32 General staff domed eagle buttons on this coat. Four were missing & the conservator replaced them with matching original examples. One of the missing buttons was found by the family & now accompanies this coat. The coat is finely lined with a green/olive silk & quilted on the breast panels. There are 2 pockets on the inside of the tails lined with a brown/red cotton twill. Blue wool military trousers have front button flap with 4 hand stitched bone buttons, 2 flat metal buttons in the waist band, cotton lined waist lining & pocket linings. Pant cuffs are partially lined in blue & white decorated silk. Identified military trousers are virtually non existent to Confederate General officers. The regulation General officer's gold/buff sash has 10" knotted tassels. Body is 61" long & 4" wide of a very loose woven silk. Martin Luther Smith (1819-1866) graduated from West Point in 1842. His class would provide 24 Civil War Generals, both North & South. He was commissioned Lieutenant in the topographical engineers. After graduation his first assignments were in the South, which he never left, even though originally from New York. He fought in the Mexican War & continued his military engineering until the Civil War began. Smith was commissioned Colonel of the 22nd Louisiana Infantry. He was soon promoted to Brigadier General & after the loss of New Orleans Smith took command of troops in Vicksburg while improving the city's defenses & designing earth works. Smith was confirmed Major General April 1863. During the siege of Vicksburg, Smith's troops held the left side of the Confederate line, opposing William Tecumseh Sherman's forces. Smith was captured after the fall of Vicksburg. In the spring of 1864 Major General Smith became Robert E. Lee's Chief Engineer of the Army of Northern Virginia. By July, Smith was reassigned as Chief Engineer of the Army of Tennessee under John Bell Hood. His last assignment was in Mobile. As the Chief Engineer of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi & East Louisiana, he erected the Defenses at Spanish Fort in Blakely. After Mobile fell, General Smith was paroled May 8, 1865 & returned home to Georgia. After the War he worked as an engineer for an Alabama & Tennessee railroad. He died July 29, 1866 in Savannah, Georgia at the age of 47. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: detailed biography accompanies this lot along with complete conservation report. CONDITION: very good to fine as conserved. Conservation report shows excellent photographs all through the conservation which repaired moth damage. Trousers excellent. Fine color, showing little wear internally. Deep front pockets show little wear. Conservation report details in photographs and text the minor moth damage and conservation. Sash has a tack stitched repair where sash was cut and has fraying and reductions near knots. The color is an overall mottled buff with streaked highlights of gold as can be seen in photos. PROVENANCE STATEMENT: Direct Family Descent. (02-13231/JS). $75,000-125,000.

COVER WORN BY MAJOR GENERAL MARTIN LUTHER SMITH. Regulation blue wool 5 strands of quatrefoil stitched to the top of the kepi, 5 strands of braid stitched over the roll of the crown at the front, back and both sides of the kepi into the walls of the hat. There are 6 strands of metallic braid stitched around the perimeter of the kepi. There is a single strand of same braid on top at base of rolled edge. Kepi has a leather visor and leather chin strap. Kepi has black silk lining. Kepi has cardboard crown internally and a circular band of cardboard in the interior which the quatrefoil and braid were sewn through during the manufacture. Kepi apparently never had side buttons as there is no evidence of sewing, though chinstrap and oilcloth cover have button holes. This is a wonderful rarity with no other Major General kepis extant in private hands. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: complete conservation report with detailed images. CONDITION: fine as conserved. Detailed conservation report and photographs show kepi originally had significant moth damage to the wool areas, unstitched lining and detached portion of sweat band. The moth damaged areas have been nicely filled and broken stitches repaired. PROVENANCE STATEMENT: Direct Family Descent. (02-13230/JS). $60,000-80,000.

MAJOR GENERAL'S FROCK COAT. This double breasted coat of heavy wool must have been made for the field. This coat was made w/ out insignia or facings, but the buttons are made in regulation Major General specifications w/ three groups of 3 buttons stitched in 2 rows. It was not uncommon for generals to have coats w/ out rank insignia for use on the battlefield. Sharpshooters loved to zero in on high ranking officers. General Smith was often at the front as he was chief engineer in charge of defensive positions for both Robert E. Lee & later John Bell Hood in 1864 & this no doubt was a coat he wore in the field. The sleeves balloon to 9 1/2" at elbows, tapering to 3 3/4" cuffs. Coat is lined in a glossy olive green polished cotton. This coat, like the other, saw use in the field but survived quite nicely. We can find no record of any pair of original Confederate General's coats in private hands. Accompanying this coat is a regulation Confederate General's collar insignia wreath w/ 3 stars that was never sewn but found in same closet w/ uniforms. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: insignia as noted above. Complete conservation report w/ images. CONDITION: coat is very good as conserved. The coat retains all of its original buttons. Lining is 95% plus complete w/ wear & small reductions. Detailed conservation report which consists mostly of backing moth damage on cuffs & collar. PROVENANCE STATEMENT: Direct Family Descent. (02-13232 & 02-13486/JS). $60,000-80,000.

COAT BELONGING TO CAPTAIN CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY. A stunning Confederate Artillery captain's frock coat likely dating from late 1862 to 1863 showing fine tailoring. The double breasted frock coat was made for Captain Cuthbert H. Slocomb of the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, Louisiana. It is made of light weight, soft, cadet gray wool twill. There are 2 rows of 7 Confederate manuscript "A" buttons, each measuring 22mm on the front of the coat. The buttons are backmarked, "HALFMANN & TAYLOR .MONTGOMERY.". They are of English mfg. imported for use by the Confederacy. The 14 conventional button holes are made w/ a buttonhole stitch around each opening. The buttons are arranged from top to bottom in descending distance from the center ranging from 2 3/8" to 1 1/4". This arrangement combined w/ 7 3/8" darts extending up from the waist seam, achieves a finely tailored look. The projecting breast is somewhat straight and does not present an exaggerated plastron front. The 2 piece, 1 1/2" standing collar is made of the same cloth as the frock coat & lined in sky blue wool twill. Red wool broadcloth piping surrounds the collar & extends down the flap front of the dbl. breasted coat. The rear vent & adjacent pocket flaps are also piped in the same red wool broadcloth. There are 4 additional 22mm manuscript "A" buttons at the top & bottom of the 9" pocket flaps. 1 Button is missing from the top of the left flap. 3 Horizontal, gold braided on yellow wool, 3/8" thick bars measuring 3", 3" and 3 1/4" from top to bottom respectively, are sewn directly to the uniform denoting the rank of captain. The frock coat has 2 piece sleeves each measuring 4" across at the cuff and 8 1/2" across at the elbow. Each of the nonfunctional cuffs have three 13mm manuscript "C" buttons w/ "TREBLE RICH STANDD" backmarks. The cuffs are pointed using the same red wool broadcloth used as piping on the coat. The breast lining is constructed of the same material as the coat itself from the button line to the edge of the coat. The side, back & the balance of the lining's front panels are made of red wool w/ a cotton warp. The padded breast is secured by V-shaped rows of hand stitching. The skirts & sleeves are lined w/ what appears to be a cotton silk mixture in black w/ printed tiny white 3 leaf clovers w/ shading near the stem. On the left side of the breast is a 5" wide horizontal slit pocket. The bag of the breast pocket & the tail pockets are constructed of unbleached cotton osnaburg. The coat measures 19" up the back & 17" up the front from the base of the collar to the waist seam. The skirt measures 18" in the back & front from the waist seam down. The back sleeve seam measures 24 1/2". Perhaps the most important feature of this rare coat is the collar tab used for hanging the coat. On the back side of the collar tab the name, "C.H. Slocomb" is written in ink identifying this monumentally important group of Confederate uniforms. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Les Jensen authentication letter. CONDITION: overall, this frock coat shows very light wear w/ no noticeable fading to the vibrant cadet gray, w/ light blue hues, color of the uniform body. The coat body has widely scattered tiny holes, likely from moth damage. More significant insect damage can be seen in a 4" area at the left rear hem & to a lesser degree around the remainder of the hem. The piping remains a brilliant red w/ no notable loss or fading. Buttons on the front sleeves & rear vent retain 85% of their original gilded finish. A few buttons appear to have been reattached or had existing threads reinforced. The quilted red lining shows moderate to heavy wear & some separations particularly in the lower left near the waist. The color is likely a bit faded but remains reasonably bright. The sleeve & skirt lining show light wear overall w/ only very minor fading. This frock coat, w/ its vivid original coloring & brilliant gold buttons, appears virtually exactly as it would have appeared when Captain Slocomb wore it while serving the Confederate States of America. PROVENANCE: Abraham Lincoln Book Shop, Chicago, IL, to legendary collector George Markham in 1957 to the esteemed collection of Don and Judy Polifka in 1987. (02-13424/BF). $55,000-80,000.

FROCK COAT OF CAPTAIN CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY. A highly finished, Confederate Artillery captain's frock coat from early in the war showing superior tailoring. The double breasted frock coat made for the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, Louisiana, is of extremely fine, steel gray wool broadcloth in a tabby weave. There are 2 rows of 7 Federal staff officer buttons, each measuring 22.5mm on the front of the coat. The buttons are backmarked, "EXTRA * QUALITY *". They are likely of prewar mfg. due to the embargo on northern mfg. goods being sold to the South after hostilities began. The 14 button holes have welts of cloth in the button hole in the French manner, rather than being formed w/ a button hole stitch. The buttons are arranged from top to bottom in descending distance from the center ranging from 4 3/8" to 1 1/2". This arrangement combined w/ 2" darts extending down from the collar & 6 1/2" darts extending up from the waist seam achieves a plastron type look to the front & presents a more finely tailored fitted look. The 2 piece, 1 1/4" standing collar & collar lining are of the same cloth as the frock coat. Red wool broadcloth piping surrounds the collar & extends down the flap front of the dbl. breasted coat. The rear vent & adjacent pocket flaps are also piped in the same red wool broadcloth. There are 4 additional 22.5mm Federal staff buttons at the top and bottom of the 11 1/4" pocket flaps. 3 Horizontal gold braided 1/4" thick bars measuring 2 1/2", 3" and 3 1/2" from top to bottom respectively, are sewn to each of 2 red broadcloth patches measuring 2 1/2" x 3/4". The patches are in turn, sewn to the collar to denote the rank of captain. The frock coat has 1 piece sleeves each measuring 5 3/8" across at the cuff and 9" across at the elbow. Each of the nonfunctional cuffs has three 15mm Federal staff buttons w/ "EXTRA *QUALITY*" backmarks on 5. The center button on the left cuff has a "SUPERIOR *QUALITY*" backmark. The cuffs are pointed using the same red wool broadcloth used as piping on the coat. The galons are made utilizing 3/32" wide, flat gold braid and begin 2 1/2" up from the cuff & extend to a point 15 1/2" up from the cuff. The breast lining is constructed w/ the same material as the coat itself. The padded breast has 4 horizontal rows of hand stitching. The remainder of the body & the skirts are lined w/ a black/green worsted wool mixture. The side panels are padded like the breast. On the left side of the breast is a 5 1/4" wide horizontal slit pocket. The bag of the breast pocket & the tail pockets are constructed of unbleached cotton osnaburg. The sleeves have a plain white cotton shirting lining. The coat measures 18 1/2" up the back & 16 1/2" up the front from the base of the collar to the waist seam. The skirt measures 19 7/8" in the back & 20" in the front from the waist seam down. The back sleeve seam measures 24". The extreme rarity of this finely tailored frock coat is greatly enhanced by the fact that it is paired w/ a jacket for Captain Slocomb likely made at the same time, by the same tailor. The jacket & frock coat are the exact same material w/ the exact same construction & detailing. They survive as possibly the finest known matched set of Confederate uniforms in existence. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Les Jensen authentication letter. CONDITION: overall, this frock coat shows nearly no wear at all on the outside & only light wear to the lining. There is no fading or discoloration at all to the exceptionally fine, steel gray wool broadcloth. There is a tiny area of moth damage the size of a fingernail on the left lower unfinished edge of the skirt & 1 tiny moth hole on the right lower edge. The piping is a brilliant, lively crimson red. Galons are completely intact & show only light tarnish. Like the galons, the bullion captain's collar insignia are 100% intact & only show light tarnish. All buttons are present & have virtually all of their gilded finish intact. All seams are tight. The green/black cotton lining shows visible wear near the top of the skirt. Probably from rubbing during the few times the uniform was worn. The lining has losses at the base of the skirt on the left side. A sm. section measuring approx. 11" x 2 1/2" has been torn away. Sleeve linings show very minor staining. Captain Cuthbert Slocomb's frock coat and its associated jacket, made from the same fabric, represent 2 of the finest condition Confederate uniform coats extant.

JACKET OF CAPTAIN CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY. A finely finished, early war Confederate Artillery captain's jacket of superior tailoring for the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, Louisiana. The single breasted jacket is made of extremely fine, steel gray wool broadcloth in a tabby weave. There are seven 22mm Louisiana state seal buttons on the front of the jacket. The buttons are backmarked, "SCOVILL, MF'G, CO. * WATERBURY *". They are likely of prewar mfg. due to the embargo on northern mfg. goods being sold to the South after hostilities began. There are 7 button holes w/ conventional stitching. The jacket body has 2" darts extending down from the collar & 8" darts extending up from the waist giving the jacket a tapered, fitted look. The 2 piece standing collar & collar lining are of the same cloth as the jacket. Red wool broadcloth piping surrounds the collar and extends down the front of the jacket. The bottom of the jacket is piped in the same red wool broadcloth. An interesting feature, worthy of note, is that the front edges of the collar are on the same line as the front edges of the jacket, unlike most jackets which have a step transition from edge to collar. 3 Horizontal gold braided bars are sewn to each side of the front of the collar denoting the rank of captain. They are rather crudely stitched unlike the rest of the jacket indicating they may have been an addition by Slocomb. The bars measure 2 5/8", 2 3/4" and 3" from top to bottom respectively. The jacket has 1 piece sleeves each measuring 6" across at the cuff & 9 1/2" across at the elbow. Each of the nonfunctional cuffs has 3 U.S. 15mm staff buttons w/ "EXTRA QUALITY" backmarks. 1 Button on the left cuff is missing. The cuffs are pointed using the same red wool broadcloth used as piping on the jacket. 2 Strands of gold braid are sewn to the cuff just above the red piping terminating in a sm. loop at the top. The breast lining is constructed w/ the same material as the jacket itself. The padded breast has 4 horizontal rows of hand stitching. The remainder of the body is lined w/ a black/green worsted wool mixture. On each side of the breast is a 6 1/4" wide horizontal slit pocket. The bag of the pocket is constructed of unbleached cotton osnaburg. The sleeves have a plain white cotton shirting lining. The jacket measures 20 3/4" up the back & 19" up the front from the base of the collar to the waist hem. The back sleeve seam measures 24". The profound rarity of this finely tailored jacket is enhanced by the fact that it is paired w/ a frock coat for Captain Slocomb likely made at the same time, by the same tailor. The frock coat & jacket are the exact same material w/ the exact same construction & detailing. They survive as possibly the finest known matched set of Confederate uniforms in existence. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Les Jensen authentication letter. CONDITION: generally, this uniform jacket shows almost no wear on the outside & only scattered light wear to the lining. There is no fading or discoloration to the finely woven steel gray wool broadcloth. There are a few tiny moth nips scattered around the body of the coat. The piping remains a bold, crimson red. The 2 rows of gold braid on the sleeve, reminiscent of miniature galons, show tarnish but no wear. All buttons are present & have nearly all of their gilded finish remaining. All seams are quite tight. The green/black cotton lining has a few scattered holes & abrasions but is generally quite solid. Oddly, the blue/black wool cover of the hang strap at the neck of the uniform shows heavy moth damage. Sleeve linings show minor sweat stains. Captain C. H. Slocomb's jacket & its associated frock coat, likely made from the same bolt of cloth, represent 2 of the finest condition Confederate uniform coats extant.

SACK COAT OR BATTLE JACKET WORN BY CAPTAIN CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY. An extraordinary Confederate Artillery captain's sack coat, sometimes referred to as a battle jacket. It was worn by Captain Slocomb likely throughout most of the war while serving with Confederate forces as part of the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, Louisiana. The single breasted sack coat is dark gray with brown tones throughout and is made of a woolen jean twill with a cotton warp and wool weft. There are 4 Confederate, State of Louisiana pelican buttons, down the front of the coat. 3 Of the 21.5mm buttons are backmarked, "HYDE & GOODRICH .NEW ORLEANS.". The remaining button is a locally mfg. button with a blank channel back. The 4 button holes are of conventional stitched style. The top button is sewn 6 1/4" below the collar seam and the lowest button is 8" from the bottom edge of the coat. The 1 piece rolled type collar and its lining are made of the same cloth as the coat. The collar is 2 1/4" wide at the front and 3" wide at the rear. Red wool moreen piping in a tabby weave surrounds the collar and extends down both sides of the coat and around the base. The collar features 3 red wool moreen bars sewn directly to the collar denoting the rank of captain. The bars are 3/16" wide and taper in length from 3" to 3 1/4". The collar is interlined with the same material used to line the sleeves. The sack coat has 2 piece sleeves each measuring 6" across at the cuff and 9 1/2" across at the elbow. Each of the nonfunctional cuffs has two 14.5mm Louisiana state seal buttons with blank backmarks. The cuffs are pointed using the same red wool moreen used as piping on the coat. There is 1 outside pocket on the left breast set at a slight angle. The pocket flap is 6" long and 1" wide. The top edge is piped in the same red wool moreen piping as seen throughout the coat. The pocket is of the same material used in the coat. The outline of the pocket stitching is visible on the outside of the coat and forms a 7 1/2" deep bag with rounded edges. The breast lining is constructed of the same material as the coat itself and extends back 2-3" from the edge of the front. The sleeves have an unbleached cotton osnaburg lining. Other than the sleeves and the very front of the coat, the body of the coat is unlined. On the inside right is a 7 1/2" x 8" patch pocket with rounded corners that appears to be attached wrong side out. Most seams of the coat are reinforced with a gray and white plaid cotton material. Each reinforcing strip is approx. 1/2" wide with its edges turned under. The coat measures 27" up the back and 25 3/8" up the front from the base of the collar to the bottom of the coat. A very important Confederate uniform being 1 of the very few surviving sack coats. Captain Slocomb likely wore this coat throughout most of the war. It shows a repaired bullet hole scar at the top of the right breast and amazingly, appears to show another bullet hole from a wound received in the opposite shoulder. Period accounts state that Captain Slocomb was seriously wounded in the breast at Shiloh and again seriously wounded in the shoulder at Jonesboro. Upper linings of both sleeves show the remains of blood stains on the cotton osnaburg material. An intensely historic Confederate uniform that attests to the bravery of its owner and the hardships of the American Civil War soldier. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Les Jensen authentication letter. CONDITION: overall this uniform is in extraordinary condition given its age and heavy battlefield use. A general overview of the sack coat shows many tiny flaws and holes throughout the body of the coat commensurate with extended field use. Many of the holes have obvious field repair stitching. 2 Patched and sewn holes at opposite shoulders appear to be bullet wounds. There is wear and minor losses to the left rear bottom of the uniform, likely caused by equipment rubbing against the fabric. The 3 buttons at the front and 2 on each sleeve appear to be original to the coat and are undamaged with much of their gilded finish remaining. 1 Button on the front is a period field replacement sewn with the same type and color of thread used to attach the others. The moreen piping throughout the coat retains vibrant color and shows negligible wear except at the aforementioned left rear bottom of the uniform where losses have been incurred. There is a 3 1/2" opening at the rear collar seam. The lining shows overall wear with a few smaller holes and rubs on the surface of the material. The cotton seam covering material has a few worn through spots. Sleeve linings are intact but show significant blood stains from battlefield wounds along with expected sweat stains. The general color of the uniform cloth and lining shows little or no fading and presents as it would have been seen on many battlefields throughout the South during the war.

UNIFORM JACKET OF SECOND LIEUTENANT CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY. A rare early war Confederate Artillery officer's jacket of the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, Louisiana. The single breasted jacket is constructed of black wool broadcloth which has now faded to a mellow dark gray. At the first notable battle of the Civil War, First Manassas, Second Lieutenant Cuthbert Slocomb was present with the Washington Artillery commanding three 6 lb. guns at Mitchell's Ford. After First Manassas, Confederate forces quickly recognized the problem of confusing the blue and black uniforms worn by many southern militias on the battlefield with those of the opposing Union troops. Slocomb's black uniform jacket was likely retired early in the war and more distinctive Confederate officer's uniforms were adopted. There are nine 16mm U.S. Infantry “I” buttons down the front. The buttons have no backmarks, but have 2 concentric rings on the reverse and are typical of late prewar construction and design. There are 9 button holes with conventional stitching. The jacket body has 3" darts extending down from the collar and 6" darts extending up from the waist giving the jacket a very fitted look on the wearer. The collar is of 2 piece standing construction and is lined in the same material. It has gold braid cord piping around all edges. This finely tailored jacket features 2 piece sleeves measuring 5 1/2" across at the cuffs. The cuffs are designed with no slit and no buttons. The elbows are 8" across. Flat, gold braided, 1/4" wide galons adorn each sleeve. The galons begin 2 1/4" up from the cuff and extend to a point 17 1/2" up from the cuff. The galons end at the seam of the sleeve and do not extend to the rear half of the 2 piece sleeve. Each shoulder bears a Second Lieutenant of Artillery shoulder strap sewn in place. Strap edges and rank insignia are bullion with red wool broadcloth centers. The jacket is lined with unbleached cotton and the sleeves appear to be lined with bleached cotton. The padded breast is lined on the coat side with linen buckram. On the inside left is a horizontally set pocket with a 5" opening. The jacket measures 20 1/2" in the back and 18 3/4" in the front from the waist hem to the base of the collar. The back sleeve seam measures 24". An extraordinary example of a prewar southern militia jacket worn into early Confederate service. This jacket likely saw intense action during the Battle of First Manassas. Second Lieutenant Cuthbert Slocomb must have retired this jacket soon after the Battle of First Manassas allowing it to survive as one of the few remaining early Confederate uniforms. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Les Jensen authentication letter. CONDITION: in general, this uniform shows light to moderate overall wear with some color fading particularly around the cuffs. The jacket body shows very light scattered insect damage. Sm. areas at the right front bottom, left front upper breast, left sleeve and rear left lower back show tiny moth holes while insect tracks can be seen in the nap over several sm. scattered areas. The black jacket, in general, has faded to a dark gray. The lower half of each sleeve shows more noticeable fading and appears a bit stained from extended field wear. The area around the lower hem of the coat is also slightly more faded with areas of spatter patterned fading. There is a 3/4" hole with partial loss 7" up from the lower hem on the right rear side of the uniform. Piping around the collar is worn and tarnished but complete. Galons show only light wear and no losses with light tarnish. Shoulder straps show moderate wear and the lightest of insect damage to the wool centers. Buttons are complete and undamaged. Body lining shows overall sweat staining and the sleeve lining shows similar staining. The left sleeve lining has a minor seam opening. There is a notable 1" hole in the lining corresponding to the hole in the right rear side of the uniform body. The uniform has a crisp overall appearance and has acquired a distinguished dark gray color. Much of the fading around the cuffs and hem of the coat may be mud spatter, possibly from the fields of First Manassas.

BY CAPTAIN CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY. Some of the rarest pieces of head gear to survive the Civil War were slouch hats. Of the slouch hats known to survive, only a tiny fraction were worn by Confederate officers. Captain Slocomb's New Orleans made slouch hat is one of the finest examples known to exist. The hat is black fur felt of very fine quality. The crown of the hat measures 5 1/4" high and 5" across when measured from side to side. The hat has been folded in a fore and aft manner forming front and back creases that are 3" tall. The 3 1/2" wide brim is bound with black silk ribbon with 2 rows of stitching. A 5/16" wide black silk ribbon encompasses the base of the crown. The ribbon has 2 knots, 1 tied in the rear and 1 in the left side. The hat's light brown leather sweatband is 2 5/8" wide with a very lightly tooled grid pattern. There is a sm. printed paper label glued to the rear of the sweatband giving the size "7 1/8". The hat has a badly deteriorated blue silk liner that at one time read, "WARRANTED / ARMY HAT / PATENTED...1863 / D'ARCY / NEW ORLEANS". Only portions of the liner remain. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: vintage photographs of the exterior and interior of the hat, and an authentication letter from Les Jensen. CONDITION: this rare hat generally shows light wear throughout with 1 noticeable moth nip in the crown. The silk ribbon edge binding shows nearly no wear. The crown ribbon is intact with no losses. The leather sweatband is undamaged and remains pliable with tight stitching. The silk liner has deteriorated badly and exists mostly in pieces. Fortunately, part of the word "WARRANTED" and nearly all of the word "ORLEANS" can still be discerned. The hat comes with some older photographs clearly showing the "D'ARCY" name as well as other printing on the silk liner of the crown. A rare opportunity to acquire possibly the most sought after of all Civil War headgear, the Confederate slouch hat.

KEPI IN THE FRENCH STYLE WORN BY CAPTAIN CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY. A marvelous example of Confederate Civil War artillery officer's kepi made in the French style of red wool broadcloth executed in a tabby weave. There is a dark blue band of similar cloth and weave at the base of the crown. The kepi measures 5 5/8" from the lower rear edge to the top of the crown including the roll. It measures 1 3/4" from the lower edge to the crown in the front. The dark blue band is 1 1/8" wide. The diameter of the crown is 4 3/4". There are 2 rows of hand sewn 1/8" wide gold braid above the top edge of the band. 4 Sets of double strands rise from the band to the crown. The crown is encircled by a single braid of gold. A double strand quattrofoil decorates the top of the crown. The repeating theme of 2 rows of braid denotes the rank of captain. Pasteboard is used for a backing on the cap band and is possibly used as a stiffener in the crown. The cap is interlined with cotton canvas throughout the body. The kepi has a black cotton lining of a twill weave. No sweatband is present. The raw edged visor is black patent leather and is of single thickness. The 5/8" wide chinstrap appears to be black painted leather or possibly patent leather. The chinstrap is constructed in 2 pieces, 1 terminating in a brass buckle slide, the other terminating in a leather slide. No chinstrap buttons are present. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Les Jensen authentication letter. CONDITION: overall the cap shows light to moderate wear. There are a few scattered moth holes in the crown. The red wool body retains vibrant color but is a bit soiled. Gold braid is complete showing light tarnish throughout. The chinstrap and visor are a bit dry and show some crazing but nearly all of their finish remains intact. The visor is securely sewn to the body of the kepi and remains substantially flat. The pasteboard backing is intact but shows wear. Canvas is complete but shows notable staining. The black lining remains mostly complete but shows tears and is detached in several areas. The interior crown shows wear from years of hard service. Captain Slocomb’s kepi is truly visually impactful and exemplifies Confederate artillery officers kepis known to have been worn by the Washington Artillery.

CAPTAIN CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY. A seldom seen Confederate Artillery officer's vest as worn by the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, Louisiana. The single breasted vest is of gray wool with a brownish tinge and is made of woolen jean or satinet twill with a cotton warp and a wool weft. There are 8 Confederate, State of Louisiana, pelican buttons down the front of the vest. Buttons measure 14.5mm and have no backmark. The 8 button holes are of conventional stitched style. The 2 piece standing collar is 3/4" wide in the front and 1" wide at the rear. The top edge of the collar, as well as both front edges of the vest and the base of the front panels are all piped in scarlet wool, of a tabby weave, over cord. There are 3 outside pockets on the front of the vest. There are 2 horizontally set at the waist on either side and 1 watch pocket horizontally set at the left breast. The pocket flaps at the waist measure 3/4" x 5" and the watch pocket flap measures 3/4" x 4". All of the pocket flaps are piped in the same scarlet red. The pocket bags are made of unbleached cotton osnaburg. The back of the vest is also made of unbleached cotton osnaburg in a tabby weave. A half belt of the same osnaburg adjusts the fit of the vest in the back. Attached to the belt is a 2 pronged, tinned iron buckle marked, "PATENT 1855". The cotton osnaburg again appears as the lining of most of the vest. The inside front edge lining of the vest tapers from 2 1/2" to 2 1/4" and is made of the same wool jean material as front of the vest. A rarely seen Confederate officer's vest worn by Captain Slocomb possibly with the previously mentioned sack coat. Details of construction and tailoring indicate the 2 pieces were likely made by the same tailor and despite their color differences, may have been intended to be worn together. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Les Jensen authentication letter. CONDITION: as a whole, this vest shows wear throughout the wool body of the vest. There is no discernible fading or discoloration of the gray wool body. There are scattered areas of moth damage throughout the front of the vest and the wool portion of the lining. The scarlet wool piping is still quite vivid but does show some abrading and losses due to insect damage. All buttons are present and have most of their gilded finish intact. All seams are intact and remain quite snug. The cotton lining shows general light staining likely from sweat. A rarely seen Confederate uniform accoutrement that Captain Slocomb likely wore with his shell jacket.

CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY. A fine pair of Civil War period Confederate officer’s gauntlets worn by Captain C.H. Slocombum while serving with the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, Louisiana. The gloves appear to be gray in color but may have originally been white when worn by Slocombum. The cuffs have 6” wide openings and appear to be lined with goat skin. There are 2 rows of decorative stitching at the lower and upper end of the cuff. The back of the gloves have 3 stitched lines extending from the upper decorative stitched row to the base of the fingers. Penned in period ink on the inside of the cuffs is the name “MAYNARD” and “1864”. This name was originally thought to identify the grouping. It was later realized that Captain C. H. Slocombum had written his name on the back of the hang strap of one of the uniforms, thus finally identifying this incredibly historic uniform group. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Les Jensen authentication letter. CONDITION: the gauntlets remain exceptionally solid with minor insect damage primarily around the base of the right cuff. A few small sections of stitching are missing from the back of the right gauntlet. Expectedly, the gauntlets are a bit dirty and appear gray in color.

CAPTAIN CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY. An interesting, early Confederate officer’s sash made from a series of knotted and twisted cords of silk. The sash was worn on the uniforms of Captain C.H. Slocomb serving with the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, Louisiana. The belt of the sash measures 6 1/4" wide and 88” long. At each end, is a 10” open weave section terminated with 7” of knotted tassels. The overall length of the entire sash is 122". The construction of this sash is somewhat out of period for the Civil War. It shows stylistic trends and techniques in general use during the end of the 18th century through the War of 1812, to the 1820s. It would be not a rare occurrence for an earlier family officer's sash to be pressed into service during the Civil War. There is also the possibility that someone working with older techniques made this sash for a family member. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Les Jensen authentication letter. CONDITION: overall, the sash remains quite strong and easily displayable on a uniform. It does show some areas of light to moderate fading. There are a few scattered holes in the open weave fabric. 1 Notable hole in the back of the sash is about the diameter of a quarter.

OF HARRY S. HUTCHINS JR. Copper alloy slave hire badges were made only in Charleston, South Carolina & only between the years 1800 & 1865. This collection has several examples, in many cases, for every year. Badges were contracted with the city of Charleston each year & were made by eight different makers over their 65 years of use. The first 28 years badges were marked with the cartouche of the maker. Over the years badges changed in shape & size. By law the badges had to be worn by slaves working on hire within the city of Charleston & Charleston Neck. Only a small percentage of the slave population was hired out, approx. 25% at a peak, meaning that these slaves had more autonomy & freedom of movement. Indeed, the badges represented a symbolic ticket to another way of life. Those wearing badges could act as if they were free. If a slave put on a badge, he or she could act as his or her master. Generally the portion of the Charleston population who had slave badges were good workers, often with special skills such as butchers, blacksmiths, bricklayers, carpenters, tailors & other mechanical skills. Often hired out slaves that had free time & they could sell their skills on the market; often to the disdain of white tradesmen with the same occupations who felt the slaves were taking money out of their pockets. Slaves earning money on their own could buy their freedom, at least until 1820. After 1820 it was illegal to free a slave in South Carolina without an act of the legislature. Between 1820 & the end of the Civil War only 5 or 6 slaves were freed in South Carolina. Black slave owners circumvented the law by having their chosen slave pay the yearly capitalization tax allowing them to live as a free person of color. In 1830 there were over 2,000 slaves owned by free black slave owners in Charleston alone. At the beginning of the Civil War the police were harassing free blacks who could not easily prove they were free. To feel safe, no doubt, some bought badges so they could walk freely in the city. After 1820 when a slave owner could not free their slaves, an owner could buy a yearly badge; in effect giving the slave their freedom. This collection of 146 slave hire badges includes examples from each year they were used in Charleston. These unique artifacts are symbols representing the most industrious & trusted slaves from 1800 to 1865. Of over 600 run away slave advertisements in Charleston only 15 of these runaways were slave hire badge holders. To date there has been no finer collection of slave hire badges. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to duplicate the quality of the badges & the number of them in this collection. There are so many rare & unique badges in this collection that a complete list & detail of each badge is available on request with detailed photographs. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: hardcover book entitled "Slave Badges and the Slave-Hire System in Charleston, South Carolina, 1783-1865" by authors Harlan Greene, Harry S. Hutchins Jr. and Brian E. Hutchins. CONDITION: badges overall are above average for similar badges found elsewhere. Each individual badge has been assigned a grade from good to excellent. Most badges grade very good or better & many excellent. Most all slave badges are excavated & have some ground action w/ a mix of patinas found on copper. There are 11 badges in this collection that have restoration. Many badges excavated have been folded or at least creased. Badges were meant to be discarded or destroyed each year and copper was valuable. Scarcity of metal in the early & last years caused reuse of old badges which is explained in detail on the list of each individual badge. Unfolding greatly disturbs the copper alloy surface & once folded requires chemical patination by a conservator or restorer. Only 2 badges in this collection were unfolded & repatinated. 9 Additional badges have been repatinated after creases on holes repaired. This represents less than 8% of the total in this collection. 1803 Servant no. 624 has a repaired hole, 1806 servant no. 4 had to be unbent & flattened & has a matching artificial patina applied. 9 Other badges have patina added & were flattened: 1816 mechanic no. 39, 1817 porter no. 51, 1818 mechanic no. 248, 1822 servant no. 1048, 1823 fisher no. 88, 1844 fruiterer no. 80, 1844 porter no. 337, 1850 porter no. 75, 1863 porter no. 92/1862 & no. 98.

ID PINS, ISSUED TO TWO AFRICAN-AMERICAN SURVIVORS OF FORT WAGNER. One of the most notable & famous Black units of the Civil War was the 54th Massachusetts. These 2 silver ID pins are extremely rare, as only a handful of these were produced & only a small number of them survived. BADGE 1. There are only a handful of these 1 1/4” distinct 54th Mass. “Fort Sumpter” badges mfg. by B. T. Hayward of NYC engraved with the 54ths battles of “Fort Wagner”, “James Island”, “Olustee” & “Darien”. This badge is inscribed “J. M. TOWNSEND, 54 MASS VOL”. James M. Townsend enlisted April 29, 1863 as a 20 year old private. He traveled from OH to MA to join this regiment. He participated & survived the war including the assault on Fort Wagner. He mustered out in August 1865 & returned home and attended Oberlin Academy. He worked as a school principal & later as a pastor in several IN churches. In 1876 Townsend was elected assistant secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church’s national conference; in 1878 he was named missionary secretary of the church. In that capacity he traveled abroad & was delegate in London at conference in 1881. Upon his return to America, he moved to Richmond, IN and in 1885 was elected state legislator being only the second African American to be elected. Townsend was a vigorous advocate of civil rights. He introduced a bill to abolish all distinctions of race in state laws, including marriage and the military; even though his bill did not pass, a bill did pass banning discrimination in public places. In 1889 President Benjamin Harrison named Townsend recorder of the General Land Office in Washington, DC. Townsend resigned the office in 1891 and returned to Richmond, IN and served as pastor of Bethel AME church. He died in Richmond June 17, 1913. BADGE 2. Charles Noe enlisted in Company A, 54 MA Infantry at the age of 26 on March 4, 1863 as a private. Charles was born in Enfield, CT. and worked as a teamster.

SMITH, RHODES & CO., MADE IN THE CONFEDERATE STRONGHOLD OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, CIRCA 1861. This unique & unusual firearm which dates to the early part of the Civil War was made by & signed “Smith, Rhodes, & Co.” on both the tear-drop shaped percussion locks. Bbl. rib is engraved in script, “Richmond, VA”. The gun is around 41” overall, the bbl. measures around 25”, top two bbls. are estimated to be approximately 50 cal. smooth bore & are fired conventionally w/ a sculptured & finely detailed serpentine sea serpent hammers. The bottom three bbls. consist of a central bbl. which measured approximately 38 cal. smooth bore bbl. w/ two approximate 31 cal. rifle bbls. on either side. These three bottom bbls are fired w/ unique “cocking trigger guard” which is rotated to line up w/ the nipple on the bbl. to be fired. The trigger guard is engraved en suite to hammer in “Sea Serpent” design. Other than the bbls, the gun is iron mounted w/ low sloping butt stock. To our knowledge, this is the only 5 bbl. brass American gun known to exist & thus, is unique among American firearms. The Smith & Rhodes hardware company was from Richmond, Virginia & was listed in a business directory in 1861. We assume that the gun was either an invention by Smith & Rhodes or it could have been special made for one of their patrons who asked for this unique design. It is truly an interesting & unusual firearm & the fact that it was likely made during the Rebellion in Confederate stronghold Richmond means that it was very possibly used by a Confederate during the war? This rare & unique multi-bbl. rifle was displayed at the NRA Museum in 1993 as part of the Exceptional Arms of the American Society of Arms Collectors & was illustrated in their publication, “Exceptional Arms, (Celebrating 50 Years of Arms Collection Excellence from the Private Collections of the Member of the American Society of Arms Collectors)” American Society of Arms Collectors. National Firearms Museum 2003. See Extraordinary Arms Chapter Page 12. CONDITION: very good overall, complete & original, metal smooth, iron patina, brass has light mustard color. Stock is sound w/ hand worn patina, long sliver missing along the right fore stock, one of two ramrods w/ broken tip.

ARMORY MODEL 1841 "MISSISSIPPI RIFLE".Cal. 54. NSN. Maybe the most elusive of all Confederate secondary arms is the Palmetto Armory Model 1841 rifle. There are very few correct and complete specimens known. An extensive report by Palmetto scholar and expert Dr. Fred Novy is supplied stating authenticity with his observations on this example. As noted by Dr. Novy, this rifle conforms to the few other extant examples with 33" round barrel, brass mounts and brass tipped ramrod. The lock is marked: "PALMETTO ARMORY S*C" in a circle around a palmetto tree forward of hammer and "COLUMBIA / SC 1852" vertically on tail. The barrel is marked at breech on left flat: "WM GLAZE & CO" and just above are proofs: "P" over "V" over "palmetto tree". The “P” is stamped at 90 degree angle and typical of haphazard work by Glaze. Buttplate is surcharged; "SC" over “US” and stamped “63” and also matching “63” on patchbox. CONDITION: good to very good overall. Appears original and correct in every regard. Barrel and lock are mottled grey overall with pitting, especially at breech. Lock markings are very good and discernible. Barrel proofs “V” / “palmetto tree” and offset “P” all discernible as seen in photos, “Wm. GLAZE CO.” marking is all discernible. Stock is sound and well fit with correct mortising inside patchbox which was never drilled for spare nipple, unique to Palmetto. Mechanically gun is sound. The original Palmetto barrel has been bored out to smoothbore. Barrel retains its original brass blade, bayonet lug was filed off during its period of use. (01-17371/JS). ANTIQUE. $12,000-15,000.

BARNETT SRC. Cal. 577. NSN. Bbl. 21". Standard configuration. Lock is marked w/ crown over "TOWER" rear of hammer & forward "BARNETT / LONDON". One of a handful in extremely fine condition. C.A. Huey & Russ Pritchard speculate in their text "The English Connection" that this handful of exceptional condition carbines were captured & possibly sold in a northern prize court (page 175-176).

MUZZLELOADING RIFLE. Cal. 54. S# 76. This scarce gun is being offered in near “relic” condition. Metal surfaces are heavily pitted, eroded & stock has several putty repairs w/ wood insets. S# & cryptic number are only visible on bbl. channel of stock "H 76". Long assumed to have been made from parts captured at Harpers Ferry that were thereafter assembled by J. B. Barret in Wytheville, Virginia, it is now clear that these rifles were actually assembled by N. T. Read & John J. Watson of Danville from carbines & rifles the state had received prior to the outbreak of the Civil War under the Militia Act. In the process of altering the rifles, the original Hall breech block & frame were replaced by a brass breech piece w/ a centrally positioned iron breech plug for the bbl. into which a nipple was screwed. The new breech piece is a sm., narrow insert, only the rear tang of which extends part way back along the top of the wrist of the stock. Original Hall parts are used as are the bbls., bbl. bands, buttplates, triggers, & trigger guards. The buttstock was of new manufacture. The forestock is original Hall joined w/ a staple. Regardless of condition, this is still a complete & original example of a rare early Confederate rifle. CONDITION: fair overall. Metal is rusted, cleaned & pitted. All metal appears original. Stock has restoration & needs more. Break on left side of wrist. Putty repairs are found in eroded areas along butt, belly forward of trigger guard & 7" inset long section rear of rear band on right side. Mechanically fine w/ heavily pitted rifled bore. PROVENANCE: Atlanta History Center 2005. (01-17195/JS). ANTIQUE. $4,000-5,000.

Lockplate of musket marked at tail “RICHMOND 1817” & "VIRGINIA / MANUFACTORY” forward of hammer. Matching assembly “O” found on all 3 bbl. bands, sideplate, trigger guard & buttplate. This type of alteration most likely performed by S.C. Robinson, Richmond, VA. See other examples described & pictured in Murphy & Madaus’ "Confederate Rifles and Muskets" on pages 617-636. CONDITION: good to very good overall "as found" condition. Dark patina w/ light pitting, markings all discernable, though "Manufactory" is light.

WILSON, HOUSTON TX. This possibly unique distinctive cavalry branched hilted officer’s sword has 30 1/4" slightly curved heavy unstopped fullered blade. Unique possibly to J. C. Wilson of Houston, Texas are swords with solid cast hilt with integral cast short oval pommels and long tapered quillon. This is first example we have seen with 3-branched cavalry style hilt as others are multi-branched.

THOMAS GOODE OF 3RD VIRGINIA CAVALRY. Louis Haiman was among the most prolific sword makers in the Confederacy. His cavalry sabers are quite distinctive showing a horizontal "flaw" at ricasso, the braising of iron to steel. His hilts are also distinctive w/ lg. thick pommel, heavy iron wire & often w/ oil cloth grips such as this one. Haiman scabbards are also distinct being lap seamed w/ lead solder, iron flange soldered throats & distinctive heavy brass mts. These swords are not rare, they are commonly encountered, but this example ranks in the top few percent of completeness & condition plus it has history of the original owner. Thomas Francis Goode, a Mecklenburg country lawyer & member of the Virginia Secession Convention carried this sword. He enlisted in the 2nd Virginia Cavalry in May 1861 & was elected Capt. of Co. E. Co. E became a part of the 3rd Virginia Cavalry where Goode rose to the rank of Col., commanding the regiment until Oct. 1862. The 3rd saw action at Yorktown, Williamsburg, the Seven Days Battle, the Battle of 2nd Bull Run, & Antietam. He distinguished himself in battle under J.E.B Stuart, charging two companies of Illinois Cavalry w/ 100 men, driving them back into a lg. Union force. Gen. Bankhead recommended him for promotion to Brigadier General. J.E.B. Stuart wrote his wife a few days later saying, "the 3rd VA cavalry (Col. Goode) is now in my brigade & made a handsome charge". This sword was purchased from the descendants of Thomas Francis Goode as related by consignor. Accompanying the sword is a May 22, 1928 donation card with Daughters of the Confederacy imprint stating “Sword of T.F. Goode 2nd Virginia Cavalry”. Also accompanying sword is a large file of research, correspondence & biographical material. Mr. Murch has displayed this sword in his beautiful cavalry themed displays for many years. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: As noted above, large file and donation card. CONDITION: 35 3/4" blade shows original tool marks, is overall gray w/ staining & chipped blade tip. Grip retains most of its original oil cloth still w/ bright black color though worn & chipped at high areas & about 5% missing under pommel. Brass has a medium mustard patina matching on brass scabbard mts. Scabbard is smooth & brown w/ 1 lg. dent near drag. There appears to be additional peening on pommel to tighten hilt, which is very tight now. It is missing its protective leather washer that would have normally kept sword tight.

COOK & BROTHER OF NEW ORLEANS. This is a very fine example of a classic Confederate bowie originally made w/ 2 unfinished brass muzzle rings that have been removed. Well finished rosewood grip, 11 3/4" clip point blade & original brass mounted sheath. Norm Flayderman in his monumental text "The Bowie Knife" "the only mention of the term "Bowie-Bayonet" in literature leading up to the Civil War is made by U.S. admiral John Dahlgren who coined the term for his knife used on a navy rifle". His lesser known brother Confederate General Charles Dahlgren notes in early war telegrams that he wishes "Bowie knives put on guns, Cook in New Orleans can do it" & in a second telegram a few days later he wishes the bowie knives not get put on guns. This explains the reason for such variation in the "muzzle rings" or lack of muzzle rings plus filed muzzle rings. Rosewood is never seen on Confederate weapons w/ the exception of this genre of bowie. New Orleans is well known however for the use of rosewood, antebellum bowies & surgical tools. The use of "punch marks" & pins to secure scabbard mts. is also seen on marked Cook cutlass scabbards. It would be difficult to find a better complete example of this Confederate bowie retaining much of its original polish & luster. CONDITION: very good to fine overall; blade has light areas of sharpening retaining original finishing marks, luster w/ scattered staining & pitting, rosewood grip retains much of its original varnish, sheath is sound & solid w/ stitching loose, scuffing & craquelure. Sheath is shrunk & there is about a 1/2” gap between guard & throat, throat has cracking & sm. reductions, missing belt loop. Brass grip mts. have dirty chocolate/olive patina, sheath mts. have medium to dark mustard patina. (02-13618/JS). $3,000-4,000.

This is the only knife noted by Authors w/ a deerskin scabbard that is thought to be Confederate & not early American. The wood grip is carved in a very folky flavor.

Layered leather sheath w/ shammy lining, 4" brass drag & 2" iron throat pinned & soldered much like mounts seen on Confederate short swords & cutlasses. Most unique feature of this knife is the 1 1/2" tall case iron pommel of dbl. facing lions, effigy-like not seen on any other bowie. The iron work is similar to design seen in early 19th century Southern ironwork, but nothing on a knife. This is an unique and aesthetically beautiful mystery. CONDITION: fine to excellent.

REVOLVER BELONGING TO UNION MAJOR GENERAL DON CARLOS BUELL OF THE ARMIES OF THE OHIO & THE CUMBERLAND. Cal. 54 Bore / approx. 44 cal. S# 12148T. Bbl. 5". An extremely historic example of an early model, 5 shot, 54 bore, dbl. trigger, triple action export model Tranter Patent percussion revolver. Documented family history states that this revolver likely belonged to Major General Don Carlos Buell who was born in 1818 near Marietta, Ohio. After 4 arduous years at Westpoint, Buell graduated in 1841 & served as a company officer in the Seminole War demonstrating remarkable administrative abilities. The strict disciplinarian served under Generals Taylor & Scott during the Mexican War being brevetted for bravery 3 times. Buell spent the following 13 years in the adjutant general's office. Then Lieutenant Colonel Buell was appointed to Brigadier General of Volunteers in 1861 at the outbreak of the Civil War & early in 1862 became a major general. Buell helped McClellan organize the Army of the Potomac & was subsequently sent to Kentucky to replace Sherman as commanding general. Buell then organized the Army of the Ohio which later formed the core of the Army of the Cumberland. Buell is credited w/ saving General Grant from annihilation at the Battle of Shiloh. While serving under General Halleck, Buell saw action at the Battle of Corinth & then was dispatched to capture Chattanooga. Buell did not believe in the philosophy of total war & was constantly at odds w/ his superiors about the treatment of civilians & their property in the South. This belief constantly brought him into conflict w/ politicians as well as his superiors & ultimately ended his otherwise brilliant military career. After the war Buell settled in Kentucky & died there in 1898. The revolver has a blued finish overall w/ the loading lever, dbl. trigger & hammer bright. There are engraved foliate designs near the breech of the bbl. & the muzzle. The frame, trigger guard, buttcap & loading lever also show a foliate engraved design. The top of the frame is not marked. The S# is on the right side of the frame just below the cyl. There is a sm. "HH" stamp on the frame just above the loading lever screw. Cyl. has several proof stamps located between each nipple. 1 Piece checkered wood grips. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: the original wooden lockable case measures 14 1/2" x 7 5/8" x 2 3/8". There is a brass, reeded edged, 1 1/4" diameter round escutcheon plate in the center of the hinged top. Compartmentalized case is lined w/ original green felt.

Also included are a number of documents attesting to the provenance of the pistol including a 1940 & a 1947 letter from the Phifer family, whose letters were inside the revolver case when it was purchased around 1950. Provenance further includes documents from the Filson Society about Buell's papers including copies of photos of Buell's personal military items showing a pistol mounted on the wall & a case below on the floor, presumably the pistol & box offered here. There is biographic information about the General, along w/ items from a Buell relative. Rounding out the documentation is information on Tranter firearms & a letter from Douglas Nye, noted Tranter specialist. There is also a book by Stephen D. Engle titled "Don Carlos Buell Most Promising of All". Although the Tranter revolver, case & contents cannot be unequivocally tied to General Buell, the vast majority of documented family & photographic evidence indicates ownership & use by General Buell. CONDITION: frame & bbl. show 70% blued finish mixed w/ oxidation. Cyl. shows traces of blue in the nipple recesses otherwise, it seems to have been polished bright likely during its useful life. Trigger guard & buttcap show about 30% blue remaining. Grip is lightly worn w/ no notable damage.

SHORT LAND PATTERN 1777 BROWN BESS MUSKET. Cal. 75. NSN. This exact weapon is pictured & described in Bill Ahearn’s 2005 text “Muskets of the Revolution”, pages 64-66.

Ramrod engraved “352”, the lock has GR cypher forward of cock & “TOWER” vertical at tail. The thumbplate is engraved “60” over indiscernible 2nd battalion marking. The 60th regiment of Foot was among the most famous units of the war taking part in fighting from the earliest days in 1775 to the end.

The 60th captured Sunbury, Georgia January 1779, fought Colonel William Moultrie at Port Royal in February & in March fought in the swamps approaching Savannah killing over 200 Americans & capturing many more. By the fall of 1779 the 60th was defending Savannah & elements were assigned to other Carolina, Florida & Georgia posts. By 1781, troops of the 60th were reassigned to West Indies & some going back north. This musket was reportedly found near the ruins of Ft. Ticonderoga (page 66-Ahern) by a Civil War veteran in NY cavalry, Joseph Myers who was hunting near Ft. Defiance, unlikely as this story sounds, this arm was part of Ft. Ticonderoga museum collection deposited by his daughter October 5, 1936 & it remained in museum till 1994 when transferred to his grandson.

Thunders Tail biographical information supplied by Mr. Grangaard states "Thunders Tail was born in 1850, the son of the great chief Black Twin." & "Thunders Tail rode with Crazy Horse his entire adult life".

BREECHLOADING CARBINE. Cal. 52. S# 43154. This carbine from direct family descent was used to shoot a deer in 1947-1948 by descendant of a trooper in Springvale, Maine which was the 2nd largest buck shot & listed in Boone & Crockett that year according to consignor. This carbine is still loaded with six original & scarce Civil War 56/.52 cartridges that are still in loading tube in butt. Regardless of this interesting anecdote, this is a very nice example of the most popular Civil War used carbine w/ over 90,000 purchased by the government. The Spencer was the first repeater rugged enough for military service. So formidable was its rapid fire that it was named the "horizontal shot tower" by the Confederates. The heavy casualties at Chickamauga inflicted by the Spencer rifles of Wilder's' brigade proved the value of the repeater in war. The many battlefield captures of Spencers by Confederates were often not used due to lack of cartridges. Copper was scarce in the South & one hundred percussion caps could be made from the metal required for one Spencer cartridge. This gun has an overall fine dark uncleaned patina w/ solid stocks w/ discernible cartouche. Standard configuration 22" bbl., marked on receiver flat "SPENCER REPEATING / RIFLE CO.

CARTRIDGE BOX. This 91 rd. Blakeslee cartridge box is arguably the rarest American Civil War cartridge box w/ only a few surviving specimens known. It was invented by Col. Erastus Blakeslee who commanded the 1st Connecticut Cavalry during the Civil War. His unit was armed w/ 52 cal. Spencer carbines early in 1864. Blakeslee saw a need to increase the effectiveness of the Spencer carbine by increasing its rate of fire. This box allowed the soldier to load 7 rds. from a tin tube in roughly the time it took to load 1 rd. prior to his invention. The box can be found in 6, 10 & 13 tube variations allowing the soldier 42, 70 or 91 quick loading rds. enhancing the effectiveness & rate of fire. This box was produced by Emerson Gaylord in 1864-1865. The box is embossed on the front "BLAKESLEE'S CARTRIDGE BOX / U.S. / PAT'D DEC. 20.1864 / E. GAYLORD / CHICOPEE / MASS.". It is leather covered wood w/ 13 interior tin tubes. Seams are stitched. There is a front implement pocket w/ leather closing flap & brass finial. The top closing tab is stitched & riveted. Suspension strap rings are also stitched & riveted as are the belt loops on the reverse. CONDITION: box shows light wear overall w/ some crazing & loss of finish on the implement pouch & the top closing tab. (02-12850/BF). $7,000-10,000.

PERCUSSION CARBINE. Cal. 50. S# 4498. For a gun that over 5,000 were made, this gun produced in early 1864 is hard to find as most saw hard use in the field. 4th Model improvements made cartridge insertion & withdrawal easier by a dbl. jointed breech action & a easily removable hinge bolt. A defect in the design of the dbl. jointed breech was soon identified. The breech block had first to be rotated forward & then the lever moved upward. Reversing the sequence resulted in dented or dislodged bullets. The problem was solved by the creation of a guide pin in the frame & a groove in the breech block which guided the breech block through the proper sequence making it impossible to utilize incorrectly. The Burnside saw service w/ NJ, Michigan, Indiana, Rhode Island, Ohio, West Virginia, NY, PA & Illinois cavalry regiments. CONDITION: good to very good overall. Complete & original. Metal overall is a mottled brown/gray. Markings all discernable. Stocks are sound & well fit, forestock has numerous dings & dents, buttstock has less.

Howard Madaus in his article "The Maynard Rifle & Carbine in the Confederate Service" (ASAC Bulletin 52, pages 66-79) state that "as many as 2000-2600 1st Model carbines were purchased by the states of Mississippi, Georgia & Florida". He also notes that archeological evidence shows that Maynards issued to Florida troops along the Applachicola River were using 35 cal. cartridges. This gun confirms to other 1st model carbines, iron mounted, tape primer system, patent information & manufacturer stamped on either side of frame, 20" 2 stage bbl. w/ fixed rear sight, front blade sight & adj. long rare rear sight.

These include 21.5” round barrel with 3-line address forward of rear sight which is marked only “R S LAWRENCE” in tiny letters.

Stocks do not appear to have ever been refinished but show considerable wear, most likely due to being ridden through sage brush, etc. Some marks are quite deep & it appears that right side of butt got too close to a campfire one night & is somewhat scorched. Two tacks are driven into toeline of butt near buttplate. Forend shows considerable wood loss at front bbl. channel, again w/ considerable deep marks w/ subsequent wear, mostly on right side. Although the exterior condition is a bit rough, bore was obviously well cared for & is quite shiny w/ strong rifling throughout w/ scattered light pitting at breech end.

ALTERATION. Cal. 69. NSN. This rarely seen alteration was done for the state of NY by Lt. James Noble Ward in 1857. His contract was to alter 1200 muskets, but Ward died December 6th 1858 & he had altered 300 muskets. The muskets were issued to the 12th NY infantry. The regimental inspector reported that the Ward altered muskets were not satisfactory & "are already condemned by the men" & recommended their recall. The 12th NY disbanded prior to the Civil War. 40 Of these muskets were issued to the 50th NY infantry in 1864. George Moller in his text "American Military Shoulder Arms, Vol. 3" Pg. 76 states "Surviving examples indicate that a variety of muskets were altered by Lt. Ward." The alteration here is an 1823 dated ASA Waters Model 1816 musket which had already had an arsenal conversion to percussion. Ward added his patented mag. hammer marked "J.N.Ward U.S.A. / PATENTED JULY 1 1856". The patented hammer has 2 compartments, one holding a gear to advance a roll of caps & the other which is operated by a spring retained pivoting door & holds the caps. Small assembly numbers are stamped inside the primer mag., its cover & the upper surface of the lock's pan flange. Moller notes these alteration numbers do not match on any of the known examples.
