1034 - CIVIL WAR COLT MODEL 1860 FLUTED CYLINDER ARMY WITH FACTORY LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR OF OHIO, WILLIAM DENNISON.
Shipped in June of 1861 with 49 other guns, this very good condition Flute is one of the few that factory letter offering the owner a glimpse of its use during the Civil War. These guns were ordered by Dennison and issued to Volunteer Officers in the State of Ohio who unlike enlisted men, normally had to purchase all of their equipment. This gun is in good to very good condition and shows wear and use. Markings, edges and action are good. Colt Fluted Army Revolvers are among the most sought after of Civil War handguns. Any more, they are rarely offered for sale and command high premiums over the standard models.

997 - JOHN WALCH TEN SHOT DOUBLE-HAMMER POCKET REVOLVER.
If I had been a Civil War Cavalry Trooper, I'd have had 2 of these in 36 caliber in my pommel-holsters, one in my belt and others stashed about my person. With 4 of these in 36 caliber, a soldier would have close to 50 shots before he ran empty. What some people fail to note about these pocket sized guns is that they were made by New Haven Arms along-side the famed Henry Rifle. Each draw of the hammers (2-hammers) allowed for pulling of the trigger twice, firing 2 separate shots. And they worked! One company of the 9th Michigan armed themselves with these pockets. This one is in very good condition with strong action, edges, and markings. The left grip panel is cracked. A great little gun in smooth light brown/gray patina.

945 - CIVIL WAR, CONFEDERATE KERR REVOLVER WITH ROCK-SOLID FAMILY DOCUMENTATION TO A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
This is a sharp, crisp Kerr Revolver that has direct documentation as having been carried by Azariah Guin of the 26th Alabama Infantry. This is not an over-used, over-cleaned example, but one that was used during the conflict and then very well cared for regardless of its lack of finish. It is untouched with a very fine light brown patina. The edges and action are crisp as are the beautifull checkered walnut grips. Retains all the appropriate markings of a Confederate used Kerr.

906 - CIVIL WAR ERA ENGRAVED ADAMS PATENT REVOLVER WITH FACTORY IVORIES AND UN-RESEARCHED DOCUMENTED HISTORY TO COLONEL JOHN T. WILDER OF INDIANA, COMMANDER OF THE FAMED "IRON BRIGADE".
This item is currently being researched to authenticate the provenance of its past presentation and ownership. We ask that anyone familiar with this piece or the backround associated with the information provided on the brass plaque to contact us to help with the proper identification of this artifact. It was supposedly the former property of Margaret Wilder Wieser who's husband and direct descendant of John T. Wilder, died in 1972. This gun was reported (on the plaque) as having been presented to Colonel John T. Wilder by the "Friends and Citizens of Greensburg, Indiana". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

872 - CIVIL WAR ERA, ENGLISH ADAMS PATENT REVOLVER MANUFACTURED BY THE LONDON ARMORY COMPANY.
This gun was probably manufactured prior to the Civil War but walked into the Richmond Virginia gun show a few weeks ago and had been in the same family for at least 80 years. I have no doubt it saw Civil War use. It shows about 80% aging blue on the barrel and frame and about 40% of the same finish on the barrel. The grips are finely checkered and in great shape. For those unaware, this is actually a very rare configuration. It is a large bore gun (prox. 40 caliber) on a smaller-than-average frame, something an officer and gentleman of the South would have been proud to carry.

871 - HISTORICALLY INSCRIBED, CIVIL WAR MANHATTAN REVOLVER w/KIA, KILLED-IN-ACTION HISTORY.
This is a beautifull, untouched little gun that I bought years ago at the Gettysburg Civil War Show when it used to be held inside the Eisenhower Inn. It is as pure and untouched of a little gun with history that you will ever find. Bernard Mauch was born in Germany in 1826 and immigrated to the United States in 1847. He was a Lieutenant in the famed 1st Michigan Volunteers, which was the first western regiment to arrive in the Nations Capitol near Alexandria, Va. At Manassas Junction, the First Michigan fought wildly trying to recapture Ricketts battery in a maelstrom of surging and retreating men, acrid smoke, firing muskets and exploding shells alongside the 11th New York. Mauch was badly wounded in the battle, captured and had a leg removed at the hip. Upon his death, Colonel Wilcox of the 1st (who was also captured and visited with Mauch at St. Mark's Hospital in Richmond) wrote, "Our fears are realized. Poor Mauch died at 9 o'clock last night. He suffered much. His German friends will take the body and give it a Christian burial. Of this brave man who has met his fate in the engagement I cannot speak in too high terms. The regiment will cherish the memory of his gallantry". The 6" barreled gun is beautifully engraved on its frame, has a near perfect cylinder scene, retains perhaps 30% blue on the barrel and the balance of the gun is in brown patina. The grips are excellent and the inscription gorgeous. This is one of the nicest guns I've owned and has been in my collection for sevral years.

860 - REMINGTON 1858 NEW MODEL ARMY REVOLVER.
This is a super sharp and crisp gun, fully martially marked. It is in buttery smooth brown patina with traces of blue and fine grips with cartouche. I have been told that some users shortened the hammers on some guns but I don't buy that. This one appears to have just broken off, probably due to a flaw in the metal. This gun is super crisp.

681 - 20TH CENTURY CASED, COLT 3RD MODEL DRAGOON WITH 8" BARREL AND HISTORICALLY IDENTIFIED.
Now here's something special. This is a fine condition 8" Dragoon that is just as sharp and crisp as during its period of use but with all its finish flaked or aged off. It retains most all of its cylinder scene and almost all its original varnish on the grips. This gun would retail for $13,000.00 - 15,000.00. It is cased in a 20th century, custom manufactured box that is inscribed on a plate on the lid stating that the gun was carried by William Bevery Caldwell during the War between the States. It was given to his grandson, David Keller Caldwell by his parents upon his graduation from Washington & Lee University in 1949. Well, my researcher checked this out and indeed, David did graduate from W&L on that date and became an author of books on sea life. He can be found on the net. His parent checked out as well, and were from prominent Kentucky families. Last but not least, we found William Beverly Caldwell, father of George Danford Caldwell and grandfather of David as a Major in the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry, CONFEDERATE. Now, I can't prove that the gun came in this box, but it is made up for an 8" Dragoon. I also can't prove the former ownership. I did track down the facts as best as possible. I have priced it at the value of the gun alone and the box and accessories certainly add to the value. If I would have gotten this directly from the auction through the family, it would be $20,000+. This is a great item priced right for someone that wants what is almost certainly a Confederate outfit. There is even a locket with a dag of who I presume is Caldwell and his lady as well as a womans pocket watch.

590 - IDENTIFIED CONFEDERATE 3RD MODEL COLT DRAGOON OF THE "C.L. DRAGOONS" OF MOBILE, ALABAMA.
Most of you know about these rare guns. This is a Colt 3rd Model Dragoon with rare 8' barrel and this fine Dragoon saw service with a crack Confederate Mounted Unit called "The C. L. Dragoons", or Crocheron Light Dragoons, named after their material equiptment supplier and backer, John Crocheron. After initially mustering in to guard the port city of Mobile, this unit became Halloway's Company of the 3rd Alabama Cavalry and rendered escort and courier for Braxton Bragg, Joseph E. Johnson and John Bell Hood. The history of these rare revolvers was brought to light in the January 1991 issue of "The Gun Report Magazine". This example is one of the best in a deep smooth brown patina on its metal parts, 30% original varnish on fine full grips and about 70% light cylinder scene. It would be hard to improve upon this example.

557 - MANHATTAN NAVY REVOLVER WITH FACTORY PEARL GRIPS, FACTORY ENGRAVED AND HISTORICALLY INSCRIBED TO CAPTAIN ANTHONY BOWEN OF THE 173RD OHIO.
This wonderfull gun was sent in from California where it has resided for years. This is a factory engraved gun with factory pearl grips, a very arre gun in and of itself. It has a beautifull inscription on the backstrap, "Presented to Capt. A. W. Bowen By Co. E, 173rd O.V.I.". Our recent research on this gun shows that Bowen was originally mustered into the 6th Ohio in 1861 as a private and was wounded at Chickamauga to muster out in June of '64. He would have also seen service at Shilo and Stones River. He was commissioned into Company E of the 173rd in August of the same year to see service at Nashville. This gun has seen fairly heavy use but has a wonderfull look. The grips are gorgeous and the engraving is still nice. It has a silver plated finish that is contemporary to the period, but appears to have been done after some use or after the war for preservation purposes. It has turned a deep, silver-blue patina and looks awesome. I believe there is a likelihood that this gun is one of two things. It was either captured from the enemy and then plated, inscribed and presented to Bowen, or it was plated by Bowen after the war to preserve it and the memory of his service. Regardless, it is a great, inscribed veteran of the conflict to a soldier that had great history and one who was wounded in battle.

415 - COLT, SECOND MODEL DRAGOON, MARTIALLY MARKED.
This is an extremely fine 2nd Model with generous amounts of blue scattered in protected areas about the barrel. The balance of the gun is a deep, rich, blue-brown patina. The scene, edges, markings, action, grips and cartouches are excellent. This is an early 2nd, with v-shaped mainspring. Worthy of a fine Colt collection, this fine 44 surely saw action during the Civil War and was issued to the U.S. mounted Rifles prior to the conflict. It could have been used by Northern or Southern Troops.

Beautifull, Gustov Young engraving and retaining prox. 90% original factory silver plate. Near mint grips. The case is an aftermarket casing in the French style. The accessories are silver plated.

He was publisher of "The Army and Navy Journal" after the war as well as Galaxy Magazine which was eventually merged with Atlantic Monthly. He later was co-founder of the National Rifle Association.

336 - CONFEDERATE REVOLVER - LEECH & RIGDON CONFEDERATE CIVIL WAR REVOLVER IDENTIFIED TO PINKNEY WALLS, 1ST NORTH CAROLINA CAVALRY.
One of our most historic Confederate offerings to date, this piece of history is being offered for sale to the public for the very first time. This good condition Leech & Rigdon came to us last March with a frozen cylinder. We have done our homework on this gun, and together with family members have compiled a complete genealogical history of the Walls family. Together with photos of all descendents to include current family members, Walls' military history and a notarized letter of ownership, we have completed a package of impeccable provenance on this gun. Born in 1834, Walls was a self-employed farmer and merchant who joined the 1st North Carolina 5/28/61 at the age of 25. Regarded by many Southern commanders as the best Cavalry Regiment in the Army of Northern Virginia, the 1st was engaged at all the major conflicts of the Eastern War under J.E.B. Stuart. Wall's muster rolls find him present through July of 1863 and on detached service from Aug. 7,'63 through July of 1864 when he was with Ward's Battalion at Lynchburg. This L&R is in good condition with all major parts being original with the exception of the loading lever latch. The right grip shows a chip to the front toe, and the gun shows black staining on various areas of the steel parts. All numbers are original and matching. This gun has never been cleaned, enhanced or messed with in any way. A true piece of identified Confederate history.

294 - CIVIL WAR GUN. ADAMS REVOLVER, FACTORY ENGRAVED AND FACTORY PRESENTED IN 1864. CIVIL WAR VINTAGE DATED 1864.
This is a great Civil War era Adams Revolver that is factory engraved and inscribed on its top strap; "Major Rawlings from Robert Adams" followed by the adams address. This inscription is 100% original and extremely rare, however I can make no claims as to any association to any Confederate Officer or Soldier with whom these guns were so popular, as I have not had time to have the name researched. I will leave that up to the buyer of this outstanding engraved specimen. The gun is in excellent overall condition to include prox. 80% original blue and near mint action, markings and grips. A vintage Civil War era Adams, the likes of which we may not see again for a very long time.

255 - CONFEDERATE LeMAT REVOLVER - ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING, MUSEUM QUALITY FIRST MODEL LeMAT REVOLVER.
According to more than a few well known Confederate dealers and collectors, this is one of the very finest First Model LeMat Revolvers in private hands today. It is exquisite. I bought this wonderfull gun with the intention of keeping it, but found something recently that tickled my fancy a bit more, and I just can't keep it all !! This gun is super sharp and crisp with generous amounts of original blue. The grips are also outstanding. This is one gun that I will not soft-sell. Some say that LeMats are soft right now, but not a two digit 1st Model with finish. It is a very important Confederate artifact that is worthy of the finest museum or personal collection. I would be as interested in a trade as a sale, so if you want to own one of the very best in Confederate collectables, give me a call.
