Price reduced from $1995.00. Excellent Spencer M1860 Cavalry Carbine. The photos speak for the condition of the weapon, and better show it than hundreds of words could say it. Excellent wood, metal, bore, mechanics etc. Has a sharp and clearly visible cartouche. This is a no excuses, stories, or missing parts issued and used Civil War Carbine.
Manhattan .36 caliber Navy revolver with 6 1/2" barrel length. This a Series II firearm and has matching serial numbers of 10695. The Series II was manufactured between January, 1860 and September, 1861 and consists of serial numbers starting at 4200 and ending with 14500. As such, this particular weapon would have been produced very early in the War. Nicely visible single line address, 5 shot, with some cylinder scene still visible, nice grips, excellent mechanics and a very pleasing overall appearance.
UCV M1860 cavalry saber and scabbard, Emerson and Silver 1864 and is so marked This particular sword came out of a Franklin, Tenn UCV Hall, and was likely captured at the Battle of Franklin. There are traces of the old gold paint present on the scabbard, as well as the Confederate Veterans name painted on the blade itself. Cannot quite make out his name but I am working on that and will pass it along with any history found if I can decipher it. Nice sword with CS connection priced is if were a "plain Jane."
Model 1840 import Cavalry saber and scabbard, marked with the classic PDL in oval with serrated edges. Shows use as seen in photos but overall is a nice example with clear markings and pleasing finish. The letters L D F appear on one of the guard branches. I will do some research to see how many L D F's appear in the NPS Soldier and Sailor Database, and if I get very lucky, may be able to pin the initials down to a few individuals. But hopefully only one. Unmolested, and came out of a Tennessee Estate. These M1840 sabers were a favorite of Forrest.
This is the standard .58 Caliber Civil War cartridge box tin, which has been fitted with the wooden conversion block for use with the First Allin Conversion, M1865 Springifield .58 caliber rimfire rifle/cartridge.

This is a classic Civil War fife manufactured by Crosby. German silver ends. First rate condition overall. Every collection should have one of these. There are very few Civil War collectables that can be purchased for under $200.
