Attention
Customers. My updated Site will now include a link to a NEW
World War Relic Page. Please check out the new fun relics that
I am now importing from Europe. To answer questions on whether
I'm leaving my first love Civil War with the recent WW postings...
: ) Absolutely not ! My new direction on this site is to keep
it exclusively Civil War and provide HIGH QUALITY Civil War
and Indian War Relics with emphasis on excavated relics, however
I am also now handling many local estate collections of Civil
War items on consignment, and WELCOME any relics you may want
me to market for you. My interest in Civil War started as a
youngster when my parents would take my brother and I on trips
to the South to visit a different Battlefield every year. I
have a great picture to post of us climbing up a cannon at Lookout
Mtn, Tn. and I have had a passion for history ever since then.
Thank-you to all who have visited my site and to all the friends
I have made in this Hobby.
God Bless ! Mark

RARE - CONFEDERATE
Excavated lead filled VIRGINIA MILITIA "V" Buckle
Plate ( Mullinax Reference pg. 219 )
This is a very nice and super rare
Confederate V buckle that is an incredible cross collectible.
It is believed that these were first used by the Voltigeurs
in the Mexican War and that later many Virginia Militia regiments
were issued the plate during the Civil War. This fine plate
after the 1839 infantry waist belt plate, the V buckle was made
of die-struck rolled brass face with a lead filled reverse and
iron wire attachment hooks. Countless variations of this basic
pattern were produced with a wide array of motifs and different
sizes. Letters, numbers, patriotic eagle designs, and even plain
unadorned smooth faced plates were manufactured. Based on the
number of V buckles recovered from areas occupied by Virginia
troops during the war the V buckle has long been considered
a Virginia plate as they have been recovered in the Spotsylvania
and Orange, VA Confederate camps. This plate measures 51 x 76mm
and has a Milk Chocolate patina, sound lead with edge and rim
loss as seen in the pictures. This is one that would be a fine
addition to your Confederate state buckle and plate collection.
These sell in perfect condition for $6000 plus. ( Mullinax Reference

RARE Large BATTLEFIELD SAN
JUAN Spanish American War FIELD HOSPITAL MEDICAL GUIDON Silk
Flag !
This incredible piece of history
was in a soldiers estate from Oklahoma an is a large 26 inches
by 40 inches fragile silk with beautiful embroidery insignia
Hospital Flag that was brought back from the fighting. The flag
has been mounted on a foam board with a large original photograph
picture of Ft. Sill 1908 attached. The flag tears could be restored
and this piece would look great in glass. Here is an excerpt
by Teddy Roosevelt from his memoirs..."That afternoon we
made camp and dined, subsisting chiefly on a load of beans which
we found on one of the Spanish mules which had been shot. We
also looked after the wounded. Dr. Church had himself gone out
to the firing-line during the fight, and carried to the rear
some of the worst wounded on his back or in his arms. Those
who could walk had walked in to where the little field-hospital
of the regiment was established on the trail. We found all our
dead and all the badly wounded. Around one of the latter the
big, hideous land-crabs had gathered in a gruesome ring, waiting
for life to be extinct. One of our own men and most of the Spanish
dead had been found by the vultures before we got to them. A
man of L Troop who also showed marked gallantry was Elliot Cowdin.
The men of the plains and mountains were trained by life-long
habit to look on life and death with iron philosophy. As I passed
by a couple of tall, lank, Oklahoma cow-punchers, I heard one
say, "Well, some of the boys got it in the neck!"
to which the others answered with the grim plains proverb of
the South: "Many a good horse dies."We improvised
litters, and carried the more sorely wounded back to Siboney
that afternoon and the next morning; the others walked. One
of the men who had been most severely wounded was Edward Marshall,
the correspondent, and he showed as much heroism as any soldier
in the whole army. He was shot through the spine, a terrible
and very painful wound, which we supposed meant that he would
surely die; but he made no complaint of any kind, and while
he retaine d consciousness persisted in dictating the story
of the fight. A very touching incident happened in the improvised
open-air hospital after the fight, where the wounded were lying.
They did not groan, and made no complaint, trying to help one
another. One of them suddenly began to hum, "My Country
'Tis of Thee," and one by one the others joined in the
chorus, which swelled out through the tropic woods, where the
victors lay in camp beside their dead. I did not see any sign
among the fighting men, whether wounded or unwounded, of the
very complicated emotions assigned to their kind by some of
the realistic modern novelists who have written about battles.
At the front everyone behaved quite simply and took things as
they came, in a matter-of-course war; but there was doubtless,
as is always the case, a good deal of panic and confusion in
the rear where the wounded, the stragglers, a few of the packers,
and two or three newspaper correspondents were, and in consequence
the first reports sent back to the coast were of a most alarming
character, describing, with minute inaccuracy, how we had run
into an ambush, etc. The packers with the mules which carried
the rapid-fire guns were among those who ran, and they let the
mules go in the jungle; in consequence the guns were never even
brought to the firing-line, and only Fred Herrig's skill as
a trailer enabled us to recover them. By patient work he followed
up the mules' tracks in the forest until he found the animals.Among
the wounded who walked to the temporary hospital at Siboney
was the trooper, Rowland …. There the doctors examined
him, and decreed that his wound was so serious that he must
go back to the States. This was enough for Rowland, who waited
until nightfall and then escaped, slipping out of the window
and making his way back to camp with his rifle and pack, though
his wound must have made all movement very painful to him. After
this, we felt that he was entitled to stay, and never left us
for a day, distinguishing himself again in the fight at San
Juan. 1898 Memoir. by Theodore Roosevelt The Rough Riders after
battle.

NICE Excavated Relic Colt
Pistol with "ROUNDS STILL IN THE CHAMBERS " OLD WEST
CIVIL WAR PERIOD Arizona Territory !
Here is a cool relic
that is complete except missing the trigger guard and handle
frame but displays incredible with 4 rounds still visible in
the chambers. From a California estate collection. In July 1861,
Confederate military forces under the command of Lt. Colonel
John Robert Baylor invaded the U.S. Territory of New Mexico.
John Baylor was a famous Texas lawyer, politician, frontiersman
and Indian fighter who had served as an ardent advocate of secession
at that State's Secession Convention in February 1861. On August
1, 1861, after defeating the Federal garrison of Fort Filmore
(located near Mesilla), Baylor declared the creation of a new
Confederate Territory of Arizona and installed himself as Governor.
One of the most serious problems Governor Baylor faced when
he assumed power in Arizona was the depredations of the various
Apache bands, who were at the time engaged in what one contemporary
source has called "a saturnalia of slaughter" so severe
that "the last glimmer of civilization seemed about to
be quenched in blood." Apache raiding parties (such as
the one shown above) burned wagon trains, raided and looted
mines and ranches, and even besieged sizeable towns such as
Pinos Altos and Tubac. Prisoners taken by the Apaches were often
tortured horribly. The entire Territory was in a state of terror
and chaos, and it was up to Baylor to find a way to restore
order.Taking a page from the history of his home State, Baylor
decided to raise a regiment of Rangers for frontier defense.
Like the famous Texas Rangers with which he was familiar, this
regiment of Arizona Rangers would consist several companies
of cavalry, which would patrol the frontier areas of the Confederate
Territory of Arizona. Recruiting for this regiment began in
December 1861, with Sherod Hunter (a native of Tennessee who
had settled near the present town of Deming, New Mexico, in
the mid-1850s) commissioned as Captain of the first Company.
The company was enlisted for "three years, or the war,"
and was composed of (to qu ote the MESILLA TIMES, the largest
newspaper in Arizona at that time) "picked men, inured
to the hardships of frontier life, and conversant with its details."
The company was mustered into the Confederate service on January
25, 1862 at Mesilla On May 5, 1862, these men were among a foraging
party which had been sent from Tucson to gather stray cattle
in the vicinity of the abandoned Butterfield Overland Stagecoach
Station at Dragoon Springs, located about 16 miles east of present-day
Benson, Arizona. As they entered a narrow box canyon wherin
the springs are located, the party was ambushed by a large band
of Apache warriors (such as the one shown above), numbering
as many as 100 men and commanded by the great war chiefs, Francisco
and Cochise. Most of the Confederate force managed to escape
with their lives, but they left behind 25 horses, 30 mules,
and four of their comrades...the men who have found their eternal
rest at Dragoon Springs.

INCREDIBLE
AND RARE TO FIND ! Excavated Battle Damaged ARTILLERY WATER
/ TAR Bucket Recovered WINCHESTER, VA. !
This incredible relic was unearthed
as I understand in the vicinity of 1st and 3rd Winchester and
is an incredible battle damaged artillery bucket that clearly
shows a section carried away with the elements adding their
handi-work.... I have only ever seen minty ones available from
time to time at shows. A rare chance to add an impressive relic
to the war room that displays very nicely. " As Early moved
troops south from Stephenson’s Depot to meet the Union
attack, Sheridan sent portions of his army north of the Berryville
Pike (Va. Route 7) to confront the southerners’ movement.
The ensuing fighting at First Woods, Middle Field, and Second
Woods along Redbud Run – including the Huntsberry property
– was fierce, close, and devastating. Nearly 1,500 men
were killed or wounded in this area of the battlefield alone
and one soldier remembered the area as “that basin of
Hell .” Winchester was the largest and most desperately
contested battle of the Civil War in the Shenandoah Valley ,
resulting in more than 9,000 casualties. The Union 19th Corps
sustained 40 percent casualties (2,074 men) and lost every regimental
commander during its assaults on the Middle Field and Second
Woods…The Middle Field ranks with some of the most sanguinary
fields of the Civil War, witnessing more than 3,000 casualties.”

the loops but displays perfectly. Camp Lowell was first established

patrolling the border and conducting offensive operations against
the Western and Chiricahua Apache Indians. Troop strength at
Fort Lowell averaged 130 officers and 239 enlisted men. Serving
at Fort Lowell were companies representing the 2nd, 4th 5th

PAIR OF RECOVERED
1874 HOTCHKISS Revolving Cannon Primers AS USED in THE BATTLE
OF WOUNDED KNEE ( Ft. Douglas AZ. )
A pair of 1874 37mm Hotchkiss Revolving
Cannon Primers found on private property with permission in
the Camp Harry Jones area of Douglas, Arizona.When that Camp
closed in the early thirties the Army had to dispose of some
of the old ordinance laying around.These primers were dumped
right on the surface. One look at the pictures reveals the sun
baked disk on the left and the half buried one on the right.They
have a Union Metalic Cartridge primer marked with a U. The rivets
that held the primer to the casing are visible but for the most
part are rotted off. After the American Civil War, the U.S.
government showed little interest in funding new weapons. In
1867, Hotchkiss moved to France and set up a munitions factory
in Saint-Denis, near Paris, named Hotchkiss et Cie. At about
this time, he developed a revolving barrel machine gun (in French:
"canon-revolver") known as the Hotchkiss gun (which
would see use in the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890); the gun
was made in four sizes from 37 mm to 57 mm ..Cool Relics from
a rare weapon.

books and collecting artifacts since 1994. I make no claims to
be an expert and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't learn
something new relating to arms and equipment of these brave soldiers.

I accept as payment - check, money order, paypal, and of course

REFUND POLICY
I offer a full refund on any purchase within 10 days of purchase
for any reason, however, item must be returned in same, unaltered
condition as when originally purchased. When pricing an artifact
I use many price guide references including NSTCW and Warmans
as well as comparing prices of my peers websites. Many factors
influence the market value of an artifact at the time of posting
and from time to time you may see changes in my posted price as
I adjust to fair market values. That being said I have repeated
compliments by my customers that I usually sell artifacts much
less than they see available. My mission statement is to provide
the most unique, high quality artifacts at a price much less than
book value and in turn offer it for sale. For me the joy is "
In the hunt "

The
following was penned by a Confederate soldier from Georgia while encamped
near Fredericksburg Va.
I asked
God for strength, that I might achieve--I was made weak, that I might
learn humbly to obey.
I asked for help that I might do greater things--I was given infirmity,
that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy--I was given poverty, that
I might be wise.
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life--I was given life, that
I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for--but everything I had hoped for.
Despite myself, my prayers were answered. I am, among all men,
most richly blessed!

God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory, by
Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:19
John 3:16
- " For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting
life. "
" Trust
in the Lord with all thy heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. "

all these
shall be added onto you " Matthew 6:33
