Hayt. The hilt is tight with no movement; has fancy chase work on both the guard and pommel cap; has a German Silver grip with twisted chain wire; and a Ruby Eye eagle quillion. The blade has frosty etching on both sides; never sharpened; has the original leather blade washer; and was retailed by Fitch & Waldo NY. The German Silver scabbard has finely chase-work brass mounts with the presentation is the field between the ring mounts.
Colonel William W.Hayt was born in Ithaca New York January 9th, 1824. He was a successful merchant in Corning New York, and in 1860 went to Albany and engaged in the lumber trade. His military career began as the Adjutant of the Sixteenth Regiment New-York State Militia, and afterward its Major. With the outbreak of the Civil War, William W. Hayt was commissioned as the Adjutant for the Twenty-Third Regiment New-York Volunteers. He served faithfully and heroically with this command during its active services for two years until discharged at the expiration of the unit’s enlistment: Mustered out May 22, 1863: expiration of term.
When the term of service with the 23rd New York Infantry regiment expired, William W. Hayt immediately accepted an appointment as Assistant Provost-Marshal for the military depot in Elmira, New York until the spring of 1864, when he rose to the position of Provost-Marshal. In this role, he would have overseen order and discipline for the military garrison and surrounding areas.
While he performed his duties as a Provost-Marshal, Colonel Hayt was unanimously elected Colonel by the soldiers of the One Hundred and Eighty-Ninth New York Infantry Regiment, which he accepted. He led the regiment to the field of battle at the Siege of Petersburg, drilling them, and placing then in comfortable quarters before Petersburg near Warren’s Station as a part of the body of the Army of the Potomac. Under his command, several companies were engaged at Boydton Plank Road, Hatcher’s Run. The Boydton Plank Road was a key supply and communication route for the Confederacy during the American Civil War, and Hatcher's Run refers to two battles during the Siege of Petersburg that involved fighting for control of the road: the First Battle of Hatcher's Run (also known as the Battle of Boydton Plank Road) in October 1864. On 5 November, 1864, Colonel Hayt went of City Point VA on business and suffered a severe illness and died of congestion of the brain at the age of forty years: 8 November, 1864.

The grip is two-piece slabbed oak wood held tight with three steel pins. The guard has an unusual Half-Bell shaped if looking at it upright, and a straight quillion ending in a diamond designed tip. The blade is pinned tight and totally undisturbed, and the knife is all original in flawless attic-founds condition. Truly a treasure!

C435. CONFEDERATE – GEORGIA – “TWISTED SNAKE GUARD” FOOT OFFICER SWORD: This is a Confederate Foot Officers sword with the unique “Twisted Snake Guard” made in by A. H. DeWitt who was a jeweler in Columbus,Georgia. Both the pommel cap and guard display casting flaws associated with a Confederate made sword; the grip retains 95% original leather and 100% original wire; and the unetched blade has an unstopped fuller; but the guard has a little movement since there is no blade washer. The scabbard is period and may be Confederate and original to the swords. The leather matches the DeWitt sword depicted on page 65 of Williams A. Albaugh Photographic Supplement of Confederate Swords book, though the ring mounts are a little different with both having a small circle cast on the top, which I have never seen on a Union scabbard. It perfectly fits the 30 1/4-inch blade and slides in and out with ease. This is a very rare sword! Currently, there is one on an internet auction site for $7495.00 and that has a Union Sauerbier foot officers' sword scabbard. Shipping & Insurance included. $6500.00

A131. SAUERBIER CAVALRLY OFFICER SABER – BUNTING PHILADELPHIA – MOLLUS COLLECTION: In 1886, several members of MOLLUS (Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States) began the formation of a Civil War Library and Museum to serve as a repository for their records, relics, memorabilia, souvenirs, artifacts, and awards. A charter and Certificate of Incorporation was granted on May 2, 1888 for the War Library and Museum of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th President of the United States, was its first President. The collection was kept in various locations in Philadelphia until a house was purchased at 1805 Pine Street in 1922 to display the collection and serve as the MOLLUS Headquarters. The Museum closed in 2008.
This saber came out of that collection and has the museum inventory number painter on the scabbard. The saber was made by Sauerbier and is an early Civil War production with a plan hilt with ornate chase-work depicting a canon and a floral design. It retains much of the original gold finish and 100% original leather grip and triple wire. The blade washer is unique to Sauerbier and it holds the etch blade tight. It retains much original frosting, has amazing etching, and is retainer marked S.C. Bunting Jr. Philadelphia. Bunting acquired swords from a variety of makers, and finding a marked example is extremely rare. The scabbard is original to the saber with all brass fitting unique to Sauerbier. This is a rare saber that came out of one of the best know Civil War collection. Shipping and Insurance included in this price. $4500.00

C513. CONFEDERATE – COLLEGE HILL FOOT OFFICER SWORD: This is a Confederate Foot Officer sword made by the College Hill Arsenal in Nashville, Tennessee, which was operated by L.T. Cunningham. It produced swords for the state and Confederate governments as well as private sales. Cunningham offered his services to the Secretary of War at least as early as June 29, 1861, and received an advance to establish his arsenal. Production was in full swing relatively quickly, but was brought to a halt less than a year later with the fall of Nashville to Union forces on April 1, 1862. College Hill sword are easily identifiable with the unique guard design and how it connects to the pommel cap. The open face hilt and pommel cap have a nice mellow patina; the grip is 100% original black leather with double strand twisted brass wire, and the 29 1/2-inch blade has an unstopped fuller with an even gray patina, but is missing the tip.

C595. CONFEDERATE – ISAAC & Co - IMPORTED BRITISH PATTERN 1853 SABER: This is a very nice example of a Confederate Imported British Pattern 1853 Enlisted Dragoon Saber, often referred to by collectors as an Enfield Cavalry Saber. This pattern of saber was the standard saber used by British Enlisted cavalrymen and dragoons. It is believed that approximately 5,000 thousand of these sabers were imported into the Confederacy during the American Civil War. These numbers are based upon extrapolated numbers from existing blockade-runner manifests, but it is possible that slightly more or less were purchased. Some of the sabers were purchased by the Confederate Government central government, but some were also purchased by individual Confederate States, and others were likely purchased simply on speculation by arms dealers and blockade runners looking to make some fast money. Most of the Confederate central government purchases were from S. Isaac & Campbell of London. These sabers are simply stamped ISAAC & CO on the spine of the blade, which indicates that the sword was purchased by the Confederacy. The sabers used by the British Military and their various colonial forces are typically well marked with British acceptance marks and often unit marks as well. The sabers produced for export to the Confederacy were mostly unmarked (with the exceptions noted above), and never bear British military marks at all.
The Confederate Imported; British Pattern 1853 Enlisted Dragoon Saber offered here is in about VERY FINE++ condition overall. The saber is full length and retains its original scabbard and the spine of the blade is clearly marked with the desirable ISAAC & Co mark. The blade has a bright finish with a light brown speckle patina; has never been cleaned; is nick free and never sharpened. The original blade washer is complete. The hilt is tight and the guard and pommel have a deep rich brown patina that matched the scabbard. The pressed leather grip panel in GOOD++ condition with no loss of leather and only a little srinkage. The scabbard is in VERY nice condition overall with a deep even smooth brown patina, and is the correct Civil War era pattern with its tall pointed suspension ring mounts. There are two bullet strikes; one near the top mount and the other near the drag. There is also a door pinch 6-inches above the drag. This was done to reduce the rattle of the blade, but also makes the blade fit tight in the scabbard. The original throat piece has the two original screws and is tight. Overall, this is a much better condition example than normally seen. Shipping & Insurance included. $2500.00

BARREL PROOF MARKS
F364.

The lock is TOWER marked and dated 1861 with a CROWN and no British governments markings, and properly functions in both half and full cock; and the nipple is original.

F385. RARE - CONFEDERATE HOLSTER & MARTIALLY MARKED SAVAGE NAVY REVOLVER: Confederate holsters are rare to find, and it is even more uncommon to find one for a Savage Navy Revolver. I purchased this directly from Tim Prince of (College Hill Arsenal) and just love its look! The holster is brown leather; complete with the flap, and has the complete back belt loop, but missing the retention button. It is worn at the hammer location and at the bottom where the barrel is visible. The Savage Navy revolver has an even brown patina; is missing the front site; properly cycles; has original grip which have a carved cross over the original cartouche, but does not hold in the full cock position.

CONFEDERATE 1853 ENFIELD RIFLE - DOUBLE MARKED SINCLAIR, HAMILTON & COMPANY ON STOCK AND OVAL SHC MARKED BARREL: During the Civil War, a large number of 1853 Enfield Rifle Muskets were supplied by the Sinclair, Hamilton & Company.

The barrel is proof marked * 24 * 24 * and has the rarely seen Oval SHC stamp. The lock is dated 1861. This is an early Enfield that no doubt saw action. $2900.00
