Dixieland Civil War Relics

Dug

  1. This is a pewter flag staff pommel and quite rare to find.  This specimen has the typical hole for mounting to the pole.  This fine relic came from a Gettysburg collection.  $25.

  2. I thought I would list all the items left in the Shiloh collection.  Here we have 26 items.  All are wonderful and dug from Shiloh.  There are relics such as a sardine ration can with bayonet holes, a stirrup,  a musket hammer, two musket nose caps, hooks for a knap sack, a confederate spur frag, a horse shoe made into a pot hook and much more.  There are at least $200. worth of relics here.  I am pricing the whole grouping as a Fourth Of July special  at  $100.  On Hold

  3. This is a great group of six toe plates and two boot plates that have seen a few miles marching.  The clover design is a bit harder to come by.  These nice relics come in the glass front case and is ready for your collection.  $27.

  4. Cool brass scabbard mount for a Confederate ''Dog River'' scabbard.  This nice little artifact has retained its shape well.  Dug here in middle Tennessee.  $35.

  5. Great Confederate gun tool for the Richmond rifle.  This fine relic is stable a would make a great addition to a gun tool collection.  Excavated in Virginia.  $55.On Hold

  6. This is a great little 4'' pocket model barrel dug from the Battle Of Griswoldville, Georgia.  It looks to be a .31 Colt or maybe a Bacon.  Comes with two .31 caliber balls for display.  $60.On Hold

  7. This is another great relic from Shiloh.  This is a unmarked saddle shield and is in wonderful condition.  It appears to be a bit different than the Federal specimens that I have seen.  I am not sure of what type saddle this came, but I will be a monkeys uncle if it don't look Confederate.  SOLD

  8. This is a great and very early hand forged iron cavalry stirrup excavated at Shiloh.  The iron is in wonderful shape and is very strong and stable.  I love all the different varieties of stirrups.  SOLD

  9. This is another wonderful relic from Shiloh.  This Confederate style saddle shield is in wonderful shape and was no doubt lost by a southern Cavalryman.   This shield adorns a wonderful brown patina.  These make lovely center pieces.   SOLD

  10. Here is a really cool 1816 model bayonet altered to a pot hook or body hook.  The soldier took his time with this one.  This one is missing a small potion of the socket but it does not take away from this fine relic.  Excavated at Shiloh, Tennessee.  SOLD

  11. Wow!  Check this out.  This is a wonderful numbered butt plate for the Confederate JS over anchor Enfield.  These were hand numbered from the Confederate Arsenal and this one is #5292.  This is a great CS item that I am sure saw lots of service in the Confederate Army.  Excavated in central Virginia.  SOLD

  12. This is a great large sized Cavalry martingale.  This fine example was excavated in a Federal Cavalry campsite in Collierville, Tennessee.  When excavated there was a little rim damage on the lower half.  The top rim from the 10:00  position to the 2:00 position was all there as well as the integrity of the complete heart.  Just the rim was repaired from the 10:00 down and the 2:00 down.  This is a great Cavalry relic that looks great and priced wonderful.  $395.

  13. This is a neat group of whittled, flattened, and carved lead.  Here we have a couple of small lead sticks used for pencils, and a flattened .69 caliber three ringer, a carved on carbine bullet, and a carved on .69 Tower, and more...  Lots of Civil War lead for little money.  $20.

  14. If you like extremely rare items and ones you most likely won't see again, you will love this one!  This is one of several military footwear remains from the Civil War trash pit located in Nashville, Tennessee on the site of where the Titans stadium was built..  The odd thing about this one is that it is clearly a drummer boy's boot and pretty much completely intact.  Note the brass toe tap attached to the front.  There were many artifacts from this pit ranging from Cavalry boots, brogans, saddle blankets, cookware, and uniform fragment.  There were even some really cool Confederate items found in this pit as well such as 1/2 of a Confederate shell jacket with the Georgia buttons attached, and Spanish moss saddle blanket remains.  This could have been worn on either side but most likely a Federal issue.  The boot measures 6'' in length and 7 1/2'' high.  As you can see in the last picture I have used my son Greyson's shoe for scale.  This is the only excavated example that I have ever seen, and this boy must have been awfully young.  This fine relic comes in a 3'' deep solid oak showcase.  This may be your only chance at a relic like this.  $495.On Hold

  15. This is a very rare bullet mold.  This is a .36 caliber Confederate copy of the Colt double mold for the conical and round ball.  This crude mold looks to have been severely struck causing the handle to bend and break.  This relic adorns a pretty green patina and was excavated in Forrest's and Van Dorn's campsite in Spring Hill, Tennessee.  $150.

  16. This is something you hardly ever see.  This dug musket tampion is in great shape and still retains most of the original cork.  This wonderful relic was excavated at Totopotomoy Creek, Virginia.  $35.On Hold

  17. This is a very nice Confederate solid cast Leech and Rigdon style sword hanger.  This beautiful relic adorns a pretty field green patina and is a solid relic for any collection.  Excavated at Shiloh.  $45.

  18. This is a puzzling relic.  I am not 100% sure exactly what it goes with, but I have seen more than a few that have came from Civil War campsites.  It looks to be a brass base part to a rifle bayonet, or rare band to a rifle as it also has a channel for the ram rod.  If anyone has any idea which gun it goes to please feel free to email me.  This neat relic was found in a Confederate campsite in Moore County Tennessee.  This could be really rare, but I am going to price it as a neat relic.  $20.

  19. Cool little Confederate lead pack stud.  Some believe that these were carved from a bullet, while others as I believe they were arsenal made.  You do not see these come around often.  $20.

  20. This is a cast flag staff pommel.  These are quite a nice artifact and a cool trait to mention is that the lower hole is were the flag pole was carried in the saddle till it wore through the brass.  You see this trait in a lot of specimens carried by the Cavalry.  This neat relic came from a Gettysburg collection.  $25.

  21. This is a really cool relic.  This is 1/2 of a marked Confederate ''Memphis Novelty Works'' cavalry spur.  These have been commonly found broke in the center, as that was were the mold came together and under hard usage would break at the pressure point.  This is a beautiful displaying half with the ''S'' and the star that is nice as is or could be used to restore the other half.  What a rare relic.  $625.

  22. This is a cool little oddity.  A field made spur dug in one of Jeb Stuart's Cavalry camp in Virginia.  It would not have been strong enough to hold up under hard usage.  It was made from brass banding that has been riveted together and a field made rowel is screwed in place.  This is a nice inexpensive conversation relic.  $55.

  23. Great little Confederate ''Memphis Novelty'' spur found in Forrest and Van Dorn's campsite in Spring Hill, Tennessee.  This little booger has been through the ringer and displays great as is.  $80.On Hold

  24. These are very neat.  An Enfield trigger guard and butt plate found near Spring Hill, TN.  They appear to be very battle weary.  $25.

  25. Nice unusual Confederate scabbard tip dug by Andy Bryant on the Perryville Battlefield in Kentucky.  This is one you may not have in your collection.  $35.
