2077 - CONFEDERATE FIRST NATIONAL FLAG, UNQUESTIONABLE CAPTURE HISTORY AND PROVENANCE DIRECTLY FROM THE FAMILY WITH FANTASTIC HISTORY.
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.

2045 - CIVIL WAR SAUERBIER, HIGH-GRADE, PRESENTATION CAVALRY OFFICERS SABRE OF BREVET BRIG. GENERAL CHARLES A. HOUGHTALING (FIRST ILLINOIS ARTILLERY), HERO OF "THE SLAUGHTER PEN" AT STONES RIVER. TOGETHER WITH HIS STAFF FROCK COAT, SWORD BELT, SWORD SASH AND PILES OF COMPLETE DOCUMENTED HISTORY.
What happens when your strength of character, bravery and actions under the most severe battle conditions save your division from losing a major battle in the Civil War? You get presented a very fine and rare sword from 15 officers from the very regiments whose collective asses you saved. The Battle of Stones River, which was fought near Murfreesboro, Tennessee, occurred in late December of 1862 and lasted through January 2, 1863. The Confederate forces took the Union Army by such surprise here that only one division in the Army of the Cumberland, the third division under General Phil Sheridan, was alert and prepared to fight. The Confederates, headed by troops from Alabama and South Carolina, rushed out of the woods towards Sheridan’s position, only to be met with artillery fire and small arms volleys from the Yankees. However, the defense did not hold and soon the borders of Sheridan’s defense began to collapse. Only his brigade of men from Illinois and Missouri stood strong. Positioned by Sheridan to man key elevations overlooking the battlefield at Stone's River, Houghtaling was ordered to hold his position and rake the enemy with shot and shell at all costs. This he did for what must have seemed endless hours of non-stop action. Throughout the battle Houghtaling raked the Confederate lines with death and destruction, repulsing attack after attack at what has forever since been called "THE SLAUGHTER PEN". With every one of his horses killed, nearly half his men killed or wounded and completely out of ammunition the Confederates were finally able to over-run his position with Houghtalings men defending their ground with everything they had, turning from guns to knives to bare knuckles and even removing their cleaning rods from their muskets and whipping the boys in gray. As they abandoned their guns the retreating men of his command dragged Houghtaling's wounded body down the rocky slopes leaving a trail of his blood the entire length of retreat. Many or most of Houghtalings fellow officers were killed or wounded as were all 3 brigade commanders. Houghtaling was promoted to Major soon thereafter and went on to participate in the Atlanta campaigns to be wounded again at Kennesaw. He was then promoted to Colonel in August of '64 and finally Bvt. Brigadier General for services during the war. His sword is a presentation-grade Sauerbier with fantastic gold-washed scabbard that is florally engraved its full length. It is in excellent to near mint condition as are the other items in the grouping. The coat is a beauty. These items came directly from Houghtalings family to a collector who brought it to the Las Vegas show in the winter of 2008 during the economic scare. One of my contacts bought it for me on the spot and it has remained in my collection to date. The sword alone is worth 17 - 18K, check out the presentation in the second set of photos. It doesn't get much better than this. Great sword, great coat, great history. A letter of authenticity and features from famed sword author John Thillmann comes with this group. See additional photos below for close-ups of this magnificent sword.

2024 - CONFEDERATE WOOD CANTEEN. PERIOD CARVED, INSCRIBED AND IDENTIFIED.
In terms of ID'd Confederate accouterments, this canteen ranks right near the "top-of-the-food-chain" in terms of rarity and history. It was carved personally by David W. Gardner, Private in Company C, 48th Mississippi Infantry. Gardner was one of the unlucky, having survived the war but also having experienced some grave hardships such as typhoid fever, wounding at Spottsylvania and capture & imprisonment. The 48th had one of the most illustrious histories of all Confederate units, seeing action in most every major battle engaged by the Army Of Northern Virginia. Armed with Enfield Rifles, the 48th saw action at Yorktown, Seven Pines/Fair Oaks, Gaines Mill, 2nd Manassas, Sharpsburg (Antietam), Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, Spottsylvania, etc. Gardner saw action in many, but not all of these battles as he was sick for a period in late 1862 and was captured in May of 1864, serving several months at Elmira. He fought at Gettysburg and witnesses the carnage first-hand as he did at many battles. The canteen has several desirable motifs carved into both sides. Gardner's name and unit designation is carved on both faces of the canteen along with a battle Flag, Regimental Flag, Mason Sign, etc. This is not a high-art canteen, but a folksy rendering by a regular soldier in the field that wanted to ID and decorate his own, very valuable piece of field equipment. If you are a true collector that has waited for a great piece of Confederate history, a piece that was carried while its owner fought through the battlefields of the Civil War with a unit that saw the death and the glory, this is a great opportunity. Items such as these are NOT coming to the market, even in our economic downturn as one might expect. Similar artifacts are almost never offered for sale except at auction or in an "under-the-table" transaction. This may be the last opportunity to acquire such an item as next year begins the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, and prices on such items could rise significantly.

2022 - CIVIL WAR MARTINGALE, ARTILLERY TYPE, HISTORICALLY INSCRIBED !
UNQUESTIONABLY, a world-class Civil War Artifact. This piece of history is about as rare a find as can be imagined. I have recently acquired a new item for my own collection and will have to part with this gem. Note: There are only a handful of inscribed Martigale plates known to exist. This is a presentation shield affixed to an Artillery Officers Martingale and there is no doubt that this rig was at the lines. The leather is dyed Artillery red and the plate affixed by brass rivets. This is a very rare and important item. The inscription reads in 6 lines, "Presented To, Maj. A. F. Brooker, 1st Regt. Conn. Arty., By the Line Officers of The Regt., Siege of Petersburg, Va. Oct. 1st, 1864." Brooker mustered into the 1st Conn. in May of 1861 and saw all of the most important action wrought by the Army of the Potomac being noted as serving with honor, distinction and gallantry. He assisted in the defenses of Washington and proceeded to the Peninsula Campaign including the Siege of Yorktown and Seven Days battles under McClellan. He bore a prominent role at Malvern Hill and later received words of praise from Burnside for service at Fredericksburg. He was present at Gettysburg and then fitted out the siege train for Petersburg where he again received praise for his "brilliant performance during the siege operations" from General Butler. This is an artifact unlike any you will probably ever see, and if I hadn't have run across a great new sword for my own collection, it would not be offered for sale. A great opportunity and a wonderful display piece.

2009 - CIVIL WAR BUGLE, MAKER-MARKED AND INSCRIBED & IDENTIFIED.
This is a Civil War Era bugle that is original and authentic in all respects. It is inscribed as being a member of the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry or at least the property thereof. It has a beautiful inscription as such and is also adorned with the makers label of C.H. Norton of Philadelphia. This is probably the most well-known maker of Civil War Bugles. This bugle would have been a premium quality instrument in its day, being fashioned of German Silver and most likely presented to a Regimental Bugler at the beginning of the war. It shows all evidence of having been carried throughout the conflict as it shows worldly use. There are a few areas on the bugle that show dents and breaks from carry and use. These have been filled by dripping or swathing molten lead into any breaks to keep the instrument in working order. They are definitely field repairs and when you look at this piece, it speaks louder than most any Civil War Drum, Sword or Firearm that I have ever come across. This is an absolutely wonderful artifact and I have seen a few fancy presentation bugles that were "after-the-fact" presentations of post-war or post-battle type sell for well over $10,000.00. If this item interests you, give me a call. You'll likely never see another in your lifetime.

1231 - OUTSTANDING, ORIGINAL CONFEDERATE FIRST NATIONAL FLAG WITH SOLID, DOCUMENTED CAPTURE AND DISPLAY HISTORY.
This is an out-of-the-woods Confederate 1st National Flag with complete capture documentation. It was brought home from Tennessee by Captain Charles E. Gibbs of the 69th Ohio Volunteers and save for the stars being ripped out of the canton by souvenir hunters, it is outstanding and the perfect 4' x 7" size for display. Further research may actually reveal the unit it was taken from. I don't have time to do this myself as I'm too busy buying and selling to pay for my own vices (Tiffany & Inscribed Swords).

1123 - IDENTIFIED CIVIL WAR CAPTAIN OF CAVALRY UNIFORM TO INCLUDE FROCK COAT, STAFF OFFICERS VEST AND CAVALRY OFFICERS PANTS.
RARE, RARE, RARE, and desirable as it gets. This is a beautiful outfit with classic frock coat. It sports all of its C-buttons and a set of beautiful, double gold-bullion bordered Captain straps. The vest is equally impressive with only 3 remaining buttons that are wire-loop backed rather than stitched. Original replacements for the missing buttons can easily be found. The pants are FANTASTIC, WITH THE ORIGINAL YELLOW PIPING DOWN EACH LEG, VERY, VERY RARE, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. The set has a great story and it pays to dig when hunting these items. This uniform was in an auction and the auctioneer I/D'd the set WITH THE NAME OF THE CONSIGNOR RATHER THAN THE THE NAME OF THE CONSIGNORS ANCESTOR. When I couldn't find the name of the soldier through the archives, I called the auction house and found out who the consignor was and called him the morning of the auction to find that the true ID was to his great, great grandfather, William N. Berry of the 5th Illinois Cavalry. Berry first served for 6 months in the 26th Illinois Infantry. The men who composed this gallant Regiment always had the honor to remember that the man who first led them in defense of their country's flag became the most illustrious soldier and distinguished citizen of the age and generation in which he lived, Ulysses S. Grant. Berry left the 26th a few months after Grant was promoted to General, being discharged for promotion as 2nd Lieutenant in the 5th Illinois Cavalry in December of 1861. This unit saw much action in the Western Theatre. They were organized at Camp Butler in Nov., 1861, and mustered in for three years. On Feb. 20, 1862, it moved to Benton barracks, St. Louis Mo., and on March 27, marched to Doniphan, arriving there on April 1, driving out the enemy, capturing his camp, killing 3 and taking 7 prisoners. In October, a forage train was attacked by the enemy and 79 of the regiment were captured, after losing 1 killed and 6 wounded. In the spring of 1863 it entered the Vicksburg campaign and on June 3, made a reconnoissance to Mechanicsburg, drove the enemy 10 miles, skirmishing heavily. On the following day it formed a junction with two regiments of infantry and 8 pieces of artillery, attacked the enemy and defeated him, the regiment losing 1 killed and 7 wounded. In July, it accompanied an expedition to Canton, Miss., arriving there after some fighting, and after destroying the public workshops, railroads, etc., returned to the main army at Jackson. On Aug. 21, it encountered and defeated Blythe's Confederate cavalry at Coldwater, the regiment losing 1 killed and 5 wounded. In October it took part in a cavalry charge at Brownsville, routing the Confederate Gen. Wirt Adams, and driving him from his position, the regiment losing 2 wounded and 1 prisoner. On Jan. 1, 1864, many in the regiment reenlisted as veterans, and in March, were furloughed home, returning to the command on May 10. The remainder of the regiment's term of service was spent in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, engaged in scouting and guard duties. It was mustered out at Springfield, Ill., Oct. 27, 1865. Berry served with distinction with the 5th and he himself was captured while a first Lieutenant in Jones County, Mo. in June of 1863 and was imprisoned at Macon. I don't know how or when he got out, but he was made a Captain on 12/30/64 and further research may find him on Staff. This is a great set.

811 - UNION, REGULATION SIZED CIVIL WAR REGIMENTAL BATTLE FLAG ON ITS ORIGINAL FLAG STAFF, COMPLETE WITH SPIRE AND TASSLES.
AS RARE AS IT GETS! I know I'll probably never find another one. This is an original Civil War Regimental Battle-Flag on its original staff with tassles. I purchased a fantastic Illinois Majors Frock Coat and Vest over a year ago from the same area that this flag came from. The set was ID'd to an Illinois Colonel who was killed leading a charge at Kennesaw Mountain. I was told by the picker that he had missed a regimental flag that the family had sold previously. I believe this to be the same flag that he had missed. After some study, I am certain that indeed, this is a pattern that is found to be used most often by Illinois Regiments. It is 100% original and untouched and needs some help from a good collector. It is in generally fine condition but suffers from the problem of flaking paint on the right wing, tail and regimental banner. This could easily be mounted and/or conserved. I am not interested in making a killing on this flag. I have priced it very low in the hope that a good collector will buy it and have it properly mounted and/or conserved. You don't have to be wealthy to own this fine flag. It will be offered on a first come, first serve basis and I expect there to be many inquiries. Again, this is a flag that conserved could demand $25,000 - $35,000.00 or more when conserved and mounted. I want it to find a good home and am offering it at a fraction of that range.

642 - CONFEDERATE D-GUARD BOWIE KNIFE, ARMORY OF MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA MANUFACTURED D-GUARD BOWIE KNIFE.
Now this is a really great Bowie. A wonderful example of the products made at the former prison in Georgia that was turned into a manufactory. The clip-point blade is 16 1/2" long with a 5" false edge and the knife is 21 1/2" long overall. The blade is just about perfection, buttery smooth with a wonderfull, deep patina and showing no corrosion save for a few specs of raised rust. The guard shows generous traces of original black paint and the wood grip is fine. A similar example with its very rare scabbard was recently priced on another website at triple this amount. It sold already. Mine doesn't have the scabbard but should be considered a great buy. Arsenal D-guards are rare and usually show remarkably superior workmanship to the alternatives.

427 - 35-STAR CIVIL WAR CAVALRY GUIDON.
This Guidon was in my personal collection until recently. It needs to be re-mounted, as it is basically complete but shows some material gaps from shifting of the silk. A good re-mount should stabilize it. The colors have run into each other (as is common) and the gold painted stars are turning to a green patina. This happens when a copper alloy is used in the original paint and the oxidation process takes over after several decades. It is 100% original and looks striking with a nice frame. The last guidon in this general condition sold at auction in the last year or two for close to $10,000. As flags seem to be one of the hottest items on the market today, I'm sure this one won't last long at my price, which is more than fair.

201 - ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR ARTIFACTS - WONDERFULL GROUPING OF A TROOPER FROM THE 3RD IOWA CAVALRY, WITH A NOTARIZED LETTER OF PROVENANCE FROM HIS DIRECT DESCENDANT.
Found in an old chest in St. Paul, Minnesota years ago, these items were originally the property of Lt. Clinton McChord of Co. B, 3rd Iowa Cavalry. McChord enlisted on 8/30/61 and served until muster-out in August of 1865. The set includes a good condition Colt Pocket Revolver, Roby Cavalry Sabre, Cavalry Sword belt & hangers, a piece of his sabre knot, Telescope w/original case, 2 original tintypes of McChord in uniform, a CDV of our hero taken post-war with cardstock describing his service, some transcribed excerpts from original letters that were so tattered they went south long ago(unsalvageable), and Volumes I & II of Harper's Lithographs of the Great Rebellion saved by our trooper. All items are in very good to fine condition with the exception of the two volumes which I rate as fair. You don't see many groupings coming out these days, and I was very happy to aquire this one. I can't keep everything, but I was tempted on this one. The 3rd Iowa saw some violent action at Pea Ridge, LaGrange as well as many smaller skirmishes throughout the war. They had more losses than most Cavalry units in the West, losing 5 officers and 79 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded in action. For those of you that like ID'd material and would like a little of everything that a Cavalry officer may have attached himself to, this is one-stop shopping. A small collection in itself, and ID'd Iowa items are not easy to come by.
