fine relic came from a Gettysburg collection. $25.

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.

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.

This
is a wonderful Civil War period double barrel shotgun. The
metal is smooth and the stock is in good shape with some nice
checkering. Many a southern man went to war on his own horse
and with his own gun. This gun was purchased from a Virginia
estate sale. $495.

Cool
brass scabbard mount for a Confederate ''Dog River'' scabbard.

here in middle Tennessee. $35.

Super
nice all original 1849 5" barrel length .31 caliber Colt revolver.
All matching serial numbers 235142 that makes it an 1863 production
date. The cylinder retains about 75% of the Stage Coach
hold-up scene. The action is as crisp as the day it was
produced. The plunger works very smooth and locks back in
place like new. Brass has nice aged patina with the metal nice
and no pitting. It does have a few small dings on the barrel.
The original walnut grips are in great condition. Colt patent
marks are very visible on the barrel and cylinder. This is an
all around nice Colt for any collection. $1050.

There
were many great relics out of the Shiloh collection that I
purchased, but I do believe this is one of the neatest. It is
a crude field made waist belt buckle that has ''southern'' written
all over it. The buckle measures 2'' wide and 1-1/4'' tall and
has a iron fork type tongue. This is a rarity you may never
see again and no doubt a poor Reb's camp made necessity. $75.

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

This
is a great large Cavalry 12mm pin fire pistol. It is the
desirable French Lefaucheux and has the correct LF markings. This
gun has some plusses and minuses. The tip of the hammer is
broken from usage, the ram rod is absent, and the once present
lanyard ring is missing. The cylinder rotates on this gun but
the inner spring mechanism is worn out. The plus side is that
the metal has a smooth grey patina, the walnut grips are in nice
shape. There is a pretty scroll work to this pistol. The
loading gate is present and accounted for. This is a over all
beautiful gun that for around $150. could be brought back as good as
new. The gun is beautiful as is and will not cost you 1,200. -
1,400. I am pricing this gun for the collector who sees true
potential in a fine firearm. $495.
-
This
is a beautiful and quite rare 22mm South Carolina local coat button.
This button adorns a smooth brown patina and there is not one dent
in it. The shank is missing but the condition more than makes
up for that. A great southern made button that anyone
would be proud to own. $175.
-
Nice
hard to find .54 caliber Wilkerson pattern bullet. These are
associated with North Carolina troops. There are a few scars
but it displays well and is priced wonderfully. $40.
-
Great
example of a very rare Georgia tongue portion of a Georgia local
belt plate. Note the crude casting of the southern
manufacturing process. This plate has a nice woodsy brown
patina and is solid. With the right wreath this is a $5000
belt plate. This is a fine example of Georgia pride excavated
at Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia. $1395.
-
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.
-
This
is a beautiful unmarked ''Memphis Novelty Works'' Confederate
Cavalry saber in an original Confederate brass mounted scabbard.
The brass mounts have a lovely aged patina as well as the Memphis
''butter knife'' guard and pommel. At some point during the
war the Cavalry horse went down causing the branch on the guard to
bend inward. This gives the sword great character in my opinion and
is pleasing to the eye. This saber retains the original wrap.
The original wire was fragmented and has been replaced. The
blade has the classic unstopped fuller with a smooth gray patina and
a few small service dings. This sword was purchased from the
Lee Hadaway collection in Virginia. This is a 100% authentic
Memphis Novelty sword and will be accompanied by a letter of
authenticity. $5,895.
-
This
is a desirable looking attic condition Civil War period double
barrel shotgun. The wood stock is in good shape and has a nice
checkered design. There is some pitting around the nipples
from muzzle flash. Many of these type weapons went to war with
Confederate Cavalrymen. The verbal history is that this gun
came from a estate sale in Virginia. $425.

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.
