C611. CONFEDERATE - SOUTH CAROLINA- KRAFT GOLDSCHMIDT & KRAFT SWORD: This is a Civil War Confederate Kraft Goldschmidt & Kraft Columbia South Carolina sword. Some believe it is an officer’s version because of the straighter and shorter blade with a steel scabbard, which makes it rarer and more desirable. The sword is 36 1/2 inch long with a 31-inch blade. This grip is 100% original leather with single strand steel wire and a brass ferrule common to KG&K swords. The 3-branch brass guard and pommel cap have matching deep reddish-brown patina, and show great casting flaws. The pommel cap, grip and blade are tight, but the guard is loose with side-to-side movement. The straight blade has a wavy unstopped fuller, and is more like a foot officer’s sword being shorter then a saber. It was not sharpened, but has some very minor nicks and a sharp point. The bottom seam scabbard is in great condition with original brass ring mounts and steel rings. The steel throat and drag both have lots of original lead. A similar example sold at auction for just under $7000.00. Shipping & Insurance included. $4600.00

CN11. CONFEDERATE CANTEEN - IDENTIFIED TO 2 DIFFERENT 17TH REGIMENT ALABAMA INFANTRY SOLDIERS: This Confederate Canteen was carried by two different soldiers from “K” Company, Alabama 17th Infantry: J. Wilkers & Joseph S. Black. On one side of the canteen is carved “Wilkes” above the letter “J” and on the other side “J. S. Blac” and “JS.”
Since there is no identifying unit name or number on the canteen, a deep and thorough search of the Civil War data base and the NationalParks records was conducted to see if any Confederate unit had two soldiers with these names. All Southern states were checked and a line-by-line comparison was conducted, and only one match was found: “K” Company, Alabama 17th Infantry. Both soldiers at different time served in this unit.
It appears Private J. Wilkes enlisted into for “K” Company, Alabama 17th Infantry when the unit was formed in August, 1861. He was wounded at the Battle of Shiloh and later died at a temporary Confederate hospital located in Macon Mississippi.
Following the Battle of Shiloh April 6-7, 1862, the injured and wounded were loaded on trains and sent to surrounding communities for care. For a battle which lasted only two days, there were nearly 24,000 dead, wounded, or missing and there were just not enough facilities to care for everyone. Shiloh is not far from Macon just north of Corinth, a little over 160 miles, so many of those wounded men ended up in Macon, Brooksville, Shuqualak, and other towns along the railroad lines. The communities opened their churches, schools, and homes to the wounded setting up temporary hospitals to treat the wounded.
A date of death, or cause, was not given for Private J. Wilkes; however, his personal effect and most likely all his equipment, to include his canteen, were received 2 September, 1862. Since this was early in the war and the supply systems was still being established, most equipment and weapons were retained by the original command for reissue.
A few months after the death of Private J. Wilkes, Private Joseph S. Black enlisted on Feb. 26, 1863 into “K” Company, Alabama 17th Infantry. He would be issued a weapon and military equipment to include a canteen. Black would go on to fight at the Battle of Franklin and Battle of Nashville on December 16, 1864 and was captured and sent to Camp Douglas as a Prisoner-of-War. His name would appear on a Muster Sheet Roll of Prisoners of War at Camp Douglas, Ill being mustered into 6th U.S. Vol. Infantry April 3, 1865.
No doubt the canteen became a war trophy and survivedcomplete with its original Confederate leather strap. Include is a history binder. Shipping & Insurance is included. $4500.00
