897 - BEAUTIFULL, EARLY CIVIL WAR DRUM WITH NEW YORK REGIMENTAL BANNER.
This is without a doubt, the finest condition drum we have ever handled and it is in "world-class" condition. It is filthy dirty, but retains 98% of its original hand painted eagle motif. It still retains original heads and snare with a perfect makers label in the interior -"William Hall & Son/Manufactures of MILITARY and Toy drums/Musical Instruments/543 Broadway/New York". Hall received a Federal contract for regulation drums in 1861. The rope and a few leathers appear to have been replaced during its period of use. This drum is outstanding.

855 - ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR McCLELLAND OFFICERS SADDLE. IDENTIFIED TO LT. COLONEL CHARLES E. WALBRIDGE OF THE 100TH NEW YORK INFANTRY.
This saddle was purchased by well-known leather expert Walte Budd at auction not long ago. It is accompanied by a wonderfull transcribed journal (originally written by family members in 1873), original CDV photo and some other paperwork. The saddle and other items were placed in the auction by direct descendants of Col. Walbridge, who was from originally from Buffalo, New York. It is in good, strong condition and could probably be ridden today (although I don't recommend it). This regiment is included by Col. Fox among the "three hundred fighting regiments" of the war and earned its reputation for gallantry on many a hard fought field. It left the state for Washington on March 10, 1862, 960 strong, and soon after its arrival was assigned to Naglee's (1st) brigade, Casey's (2nd) division, 4th corps. It joined in McClellan's Peninsular campaign, its losses at Fair Oaks being particularly severe-176 killed, wounded and missing. The regiment was present at all the operations about Charleston harbor during the spring of 1863, and, under the command of Col. Dandy, engaged in the desperate assault on Fort Wagner in July. It then engaged the enemy at Port Walthall Junction, Chester Station, Swift creek, Procter's creek, Drewry's Bluff and Bermuda Hundred. Its losses during this campaign were again very heavy, amounting to 280 in killed, wounded and missing. It was next engaged in the assault on the works of Petersburg, the battles of Deep Bottom, Strawberry Plains, Fort Harrison, Darbytown Road and Fair Oaks. In the action at Strawberry Plains it lost 81 in killed, wounded and missing, at Fair Oaks, the loss was 17, and while in the trenches before Petersburg it met with frequent casualties, aggregating 28 killed, wounded and missing. It was actively engaged at the fall of Petersburg, April 2, 1865, when it made a gallant and successful assault on Fort Gregg and sustained a loss of 59 in killed and wounded. It then participated in the pursuit of Lee and was present at Appomattox.

811 - UNION, REGULATION SIZED CIVIL WAR REGIMENTAL BATTLE FLAG ON ITS ORIGINAL FLAG STAFF, COMPLETE WITH SPIRE AND TASSLES.
AS RARE AS IT GETS! I know I'll probably never find another one. This is an original Civil War Regimental Battle-Flag on its original staff with tassles. I purchased a fantastic Illinois Majors Frock Coat and Vest over a year ago from the same area that this flag came from. The set was ID'd to an Illinois Colonel who was killed leading a charge at Kennesaw Mountain. I was told by the picker that he had missed a regimental flag that the family had sold previously. I believe this to be the same flag that he had missed. After some study, I am certain that indeed, this is a pattern that is found to be used most often by Illinois Regiments. It is 100% original and untouched and needs some help from a good collector. It is in generally fine condition but suffers from the problem of flaking paint on the right wing, tail and regimental banner. This could easily be mounted and/or conserved. I am not interested in making a killing on this flag. I have priced it very low in the hope that a good collector will buy it and have it properly mounted and/or conserved. You don't have to be wealthy to own this fine flag. It will be offered on a first come, first serve basis and I expect there to be many inquiries. Again, this is a flag that conserved could demand $25,000 - $35,000.00 or more when conserved and mounted. I want it to find a good home and am offering it at a fraction of that range.

545 - SPECTACULAR, SOLID SILVER EAGLE-HEAD SPURS WITH FANTASTIC HISTORICAL PRESENTATIoN TO A COLONEL KIA AT THE WILDERNESS.
One can argue that these may be one of the finest and most historical sets of spurs ever to come on the Civil War marketplace. This is the only known set of solid silver Eagles out of the Schuler, Hartley and Graham catalog that I am aware of. Figural spurs such as these and Dolphin Heads are of the rarest and most desirable of known examples, far exceeding those of floral, geometric or plain design and of course, the American Eagle is tops in all areas of Historical American collectables with military attribution. The Eagle is America and was The Union. In my opinion, these are the best of the best other than those which may be attributed to the most famous generals of the conflict such as Lee, Grant, etc. These full-form eagles with broad wings have been immaculately hand-chased after casting to produce the finest details. They are in nearly flat-mint condition. In addition, they are inscribed to a battle-worn officer who gave the ultimate at The Battle of the Wilderness in 1864. Both are inscribed, " Presented to Col. Alford B. Chapman by the enlisted men of his regiment, 57th N.Y.V. as a Souvenir of their regards and esteem. May 1864". Chapman served in the 7th NY Militia for 7 years prior to the outbreak of the war. He mustered into the 57th as a Captain in August of 1861 and participated at Fair Oaks, White Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, Gaines Mill, Bull Run, and Antietam. He is metioned in the Regimental History in several of these engagements. He was promoted throughout these campaigns and became Lt. Colonel and Regimental Commander in the field after Col. Pierson fell mortally wounded at Antietam. During this batlle, Captain Gilbert Frederick described the action that the 57th undertook; " The action was furious, the losses monstrous" as the 57th advanced on "Bloody Lane" (the Sunken Road) with the 66th following the Irish Brigade and finally over the ditch running, walking and stumbling over Rebel dead and wounded as they advanced and captured the colors of the 12th Alabama. General Hancock mentions Chapman in his official report on Antietam. Chapman was then heavily involved at the Battle of Fredericksburg, where it is noted in the Regimental history that during the fighting "Colonel Chapman stood by his horse and an orderly said to him, " Colonel, please don't expose yourself unnecessarily." Just then, a bullet struck the orderly on the right side cutting his suspenders and frizzling his flesh. He turned and said,"That was a providential escape." "Yes", said the Colonel and the next moment Chapman was struck, fatally it was thought, in the chest by a miniball. In his pocket were some folded letters and a blank book which stopped the mini from killing him. Horrific reports from the 57th at the battle speak of shells striking bodies of men and filling the air with pieces of flesh, clothing and accoutrements. One shell struck a man in the back, splitting him in two and sending his entrails flying in all directions. Major Throop, who led the 57th after the wounding of Chapman was killed. Chapman and the 57th saw action at Chancellorsville, and at Gettysburg the 57th under Chapman were heavily engaged in the Wheatfield. At The Wilderness, Chapman had a premonition that he would not survive the day. At noon on the 5th of May, 1864 Chapman was ordered to take command of the skirmish line on the brigade front. He was engaged in these duties until 5 o'clock, when the line pushed forward directly into the path of Hill's Confederate Corps, beginning one of the most horrific and fiercest battles in history. As the 57th charged over the ground, they found Chapmans body on his back, a note clutched to his chest which read, " Dear Father I am mortally wounded. Do not grieve for me. My dearest love to all". These words are engraved on his tombstone in Greenwood Cemetery.

427 - 35-STAR CIVIL WAR CAVALRY GUIDON.
This Guidon was in my personal collection until recently. It needs to be re-mounted, as it is basically complete but shows some material gaps from shifting of the silk. A good re-mount should stabilize it. The colors have run into each other (as is common) and the gold painted stars are turning to a green patina. This happens when a copper alloy is used in the original paint and the oxidation process takes over after several decades. It is 100% original and looks striking with a nice frame. The last guidon in this general condition sold at auction in the last year or two for close to $10,000. As flags seem to be one of the hottest items on the market today, I'm sure this one won't last long at my price, which is more than fair.

A106 - Original Colt Dragoon Broadside.
This is an original broadside advertising Colt's .44 caliber Dragoon Revolver, and contains directions for loading, shooting, and caring for the huge weapon. The reverse side is written in French, and is reported as being identical instructions in that hand for the market in France. I'm certain that is not the case, and in fact, probably for the New Orleans market of the early 1850's and done by representatives of Mssr. Armand Soubie. Soubie was a great fan of Colt's revolvers, and sold these arms throughout the South and Texas.
