2080 - CIVIL WAR INSCRIBED AND INSPECTED AMES FOOT OFFICERS SWORD.
This wonderful Ames Foot was sold by us a few years ago and it has just returned through trade. It is highlighted by a presentation, silver oval plaque on the left side of the throat, beautifully inscribed as follows, "Lieut. M. Chappell, From the Romans". This is an excellent condition Ames Foot, inspected and dated 1861. The sword is gorgeous retaining most of its original gold gilt and an outstanding blade with virtually all of its frosting save for a few specs and stains. The scabbard is excellent as well. Chappell served with the 117th New York and was from; guess where? Rome, New York. The 117th saw much action thoughout the war resulting in 9 officers and 129 enlisted men killed and mortally wounded; 1 officer and 136 enlisted men by disease and other causes, a total of 274, of whom 21 died in the hands of the enemy. "From the Romans" is a fitting presentation and certainly presented from this officers hometown that obviously held him in high regard, even before his service. It is now accompanied by a folder containing all of his service records including pension and Regimentals. The condition is outstanding and we're lucky to have gotten it back.

2079 - OUTSTANDING, COLT CIVILIAN THIRD MODEL DRAGOON.
This is one of the best Dragoons that I or anyone else, be it dealer or auction house, has offered in the past 5 years. The pictures speak for themselves. It retains about 70% original blue on the barrel (mostly on the side lugs and barrel bottom) blending with untouched patina. The cylinder retains a nearly perfect, deeply rolled cylinder scene. The balance of both the barrel and cylinder is a mixture of plumbing blue and light brown patina. The lever and hammer show smokey case-colors and the frame shows 95% bright colorful case-hardening on both sides. The grips have all their varnish with minor handling marks. This is a great Dragoon.

2077 - WORLD-CLASS, CONFEDERATE FIRST NATIONAL FLAG, UNQUESTIONABLE CAPTURE HISTORY AND PROVENANCE DIRECTLY FROM THE FAMILY.
This wonderful, world-class Confederate naval flag has come directly from the Rear-Admiral Charles H. Davis family. It is, the only flag from the Battle Of Memphis to ever be offered for sale. Early in the Civil War, Davis was made Acting Flag Officer, in command of the Western Gunboat Flotilla. In the early morning hours of June 6, 1862, the citizens of Memphis gathered in excited anticipation as the Confederate River Defense Fleet steamed out into the Mississippi River to meet the descending Union Gunboat Fleet. The Confederate fleet was comprised of 8 converted wooden paddlewheel steamboats (Little Rebel, Colonel Lovell, Sumter, General Price, General Beauregard, General M. Jeff Thompson, General Bragg, and General Van Dorn), and was armed with a total of 18 cannon and protected by 'armor' of cotton bales and oak planking. The Union fleet (Carondelet, Benton, Cairo, Cincinnati, Louisville, Mound City, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis), commanded by Commodore Charles Henry Davis, carried 79 cannon and was clad with iron plating. These ships were followed by nine new unarmed "Ellet" rams. At approximately 5:30 a.m. the fleets engaged in a fierce long-range cannon duel, fighting for 90 minutes with little effect. Suddenly two unarmed Union rams darted through the smoke and joined the action. The Queen of the West immediately sank the Colonel Lovell but was rammed by the Beauregard. The Monarch damaged other vessels, while the ironclads closed to a deadly range. The citizens exuberance turned to gloom as, one after another, the outgunned Confederate ships were knocked out of action. The raging battle wound to a close with three "cottonclads" sunk, three grounded, one captured, and one escaped. On the Union side, one ram was run aground and another heavily damaged; the rest of the fleet suffered damage but all other ships remained afloat. Charles Ellet, Jr., the designer and commander of the Union Ram Fleet, was the only Union casualty, dying a few days later from a marksman's gunshot wound. The city of Memphis, with Confederate troops having previously ordered away to Corinth, Mississippi, was now defenseless and U.S. Marines were sent ashore to occupy the city. Mayor John Park refused to surrender but conceded that he was powerless to prevent the city's fall. The loss of Memphis, the Confederacy's fifth-largest city, home of a naval manufacturing yard, and a key Southern industrial center, now opened up the Mississippi River to Union invasion all the way south to Vicksburg, Mississippi, and opened West Tennessee to occupation. This was one of the most important battles of the war, having helped to split the South, yet it remains obscure to historians. This flag was captured from the CSS Gunboat General Bragg and is thought to have at one time flown atop the Gunboat "Sumter" at an earlier date, as besides having a stitched-on capture tag, the flag is additionally marked in ink on the fly, "Sumter". The flag remained in the Davis family until it was sold last year. Most likely, this is the only known Confederate Flag that ever flew above two different Confederate vessels. It is in wonderful condition with vibrant colors, a few small bullet or fragment holes and about the most spectacular (stitched-on) capture tag ever found on a Civil War Artifact. We are proud to have acquired this fantastic Confederate Civil War Flag and are certain that it will wind up in a world-class private or museum collection. In terms of condition and history, it is one of the most significant Confederate Flags to ever come to market and the only known survivor of this battles to be offered for public sale.

2074 - MEDIUM QUALITY MEDITERRANEAN FLINTLOCK PISTOL.
This pistol is very nice but not of extremely high quality that one might find in a $3,000+ gun. I had to take this in a deal for a few other guns in a small collection where the owner would not allow anyone to cherry pick the collection. I just need to blow it out at what I paid for it. Someone will essentially be getting a 30% discount as I feel its a $1750 gun. It has a clean crack through the wrist that is nearly imperceptible when compressed. A little glue and it will be quite presentable.

2067 - TIFFANY CIVIL WAR CAVALRY SABRE WITH HISTORICAL PRESENTATION.
I took over 20 photos of this sword and none of them did it justice. The blade is the BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN ON ANY SWORD, OF ANY ERA. I am still researching this sword and will try to post some better photos. If you love the Civil War Products of Tiffany, you need to call about this sword. The blade gleams as if coated with glass.

2055 - ORIGINAL, FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR PERIOD POWDER HORN WITH PERIOD MOTIF.
This is a somewhat primative horn in that the carving was not done by a pro of the time, probably a beginner. The motif is classic F&I WAR and most likely carved by a British or Militia soldier. It is all original and from an old collection that underwent an upgrade to their flask collection. It is a nice horn, but not a barn-burner so the price is extremely reasonable.

2054 - OUTSTANDING, NEAR MINT, PRESENTATION GRADE AMES FOOT OFFICERS SWORD. HISTORICALLY INSCRIBED.
We have not completed research on this fantastic sword as of this writing, but it is priced appropriately as to the value of the sword with no premium added for its beautiful, 8-line presentation inscription to Captain Richard Raynor of the New York Veteran Corps of Artillery in November of 1852. This Corps eventually became part of the 4th NY Artillery of the State Militia and was mustered into service for brief periods during the Civil War and Raynor remained an officer during this period. The sword is utterly remarkable. In my mind, it is nothing short of the finest high-grade, early Ames Foot Officers sword ever discovered. It is nearly flat mint showing 99% of its original gold gilt, a beautiful, screaming mint etched blade and a wonderful leather scabbard. This sword needs to be placed in one of the top Ames sword collections in the world and nothing short of that.

This is a nice rig.
