U180:   PROVIDENCE TOOL CO. CAVALRY OFFICERS SABER:  This is a very rare version of the cavalry officers saber made by Providence Tool Co. This saber can be identified to this company because of the unique engraving on the hilt. It is hand-engraved with emblishments on the inside and outside branches, outside of the knucklebow, and the pommel cap is engraves with laurel leaves and fancy work. The grip is wood with black leather and double strand wire, which is loose but all there. The grip is worn but complete. The hilt has great original patina. The blade is bright with no major problem, but is not marked. This is unusual because the few other known examples are marked. This could possible be an early version made prior to 1862, which would account for the wear. The scabbard has a dark brown patina and show heavy weather exposer on the drag. This saber is often missing from most cavalry officers saber collections. It came out of Donald Balls collection, and is a great addition to any collection.  $1975.00

U199.  AMES M1840 CAVALRY SABER, DATED 1855:  This is an Ames M1840 Cavalry saber dated 1855, which is a rare dates since only 500 were delivered that year.  The hilt has great patina and is tight with original leather and wire, as well as the original white buff leather washer.  The pommel cap is double inspection marked " JH" and "R.H.K.W."  The blade is nothing less then perfect.   It is bright , AMES marked and dated 1855 and inspection marked "US JH."  The scabbard is dent free and marked "JH" on the drag.  $2700.00

F57.  COLT M1849 POCKET PISTOL & BULLET MOLD:  This is a Colt Model 1849 pocket pistol with a 4” barrel.  This is the way I like to find these pistols!   It has a great even brown patina with no rust or pitting.  The gun has  all matching serial numbers (240990) to include the wedge and the cylinder, but not the barrel.  The serial number falls within the Civil War period 1863-1864. The cylinder is the 6-round version and does not appear to have any scene on it. It also has each chamber numbered on the top so one can see when it is being fired and to know how many rounds are left.  It has all the original screws and the action is tight.  The barrel is marked “ ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK AMERICA”.   The front site is worn down.  This pistol comes with its original 31 Cal. Bullet mold.   $975.00

CSB02.  RARE SMOOTH WREATH "ARTILLERY" COMFEDERATE 2-PIECE SWORD BELT BUCKLE: This is a rare "Artillery" style buckle you don't see every day. The pattern is illustrated as palte #051 in the Confederate belt buckle book by Steve Mullinax.  He lists the wreath as a rarity of 9 out of 10.  The wreth is in fine shape and is accompanied with an excellent original "CS" toungue that is like that illustrated as plate #032 in the same book.  This is the Memphis designed tongue with a Leech & Rigdon wreath.   There are absolutely no repairs whatsoever, no damage, no nicks or scratches.  They fit well together, and have a great matching green deep-woods patina.   These are found within camps of the Army of Tennessee predominantly, with a few found down here in Mississippi.  The buckle is accompanied by the original listing fromShiloh CivilWar Relics.  $2500.00

C123.  CONFEDERATE BOWIE KNIFE, BOYLE & GAMBLE:  This is an unmarked Boyle & Gamble Bowie knife complete with its original scabbard.  It is a 14" bowie in great condition.  The blade and guard display a light gray patina with even pitting, which also appears to be due to poor casting.  The walnut grip is tight with great patina, and peened throught a small copper washer.  The scabbard is very nice with minimal flaking and its stitching intacted.  It is missing its frog stud, but otherwise is an outstanding scabbard.  This knife was sold a few years ago by Shannon Pritchard of Old South Military Antiques and recently aquired from Lee Hadaway.  Included with the knife is a copy of both the original description from Shannon Pritchard and a letter from Lee Hadaway.  An outstanding Confedeate Bowie $6500.00
