C675. AMES MODEL 1840 ARTILLERY SABER – UNMARKED – 1861 DATES – VIRGINIA CONTRACT: Prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, the state of Virginia had a contract with the Ames sword company to purchase Cavalry & Artillery Sabers and NCO & Musician Swords. Many of these swords are dated 1860, but it is believed that some were dated 1861 because Virginia did not vote to adopt an ordinance of secession until April 17, 1861, which was ratified on May 23, 1861. Ames continued to fill the contract up to secession, and may have covertly continued past that date. Often these later provided swords were void of the maker and matching inspection marks on the guard, pommel cap, scabbard drag, and blade.
This Ames Model 1840 Artillery saber is marked US / J.H. /1861. on the blade, but does not have the matching inspection stamp on the pommel cap; guard; or scabbard drag, and is void of the Ames maker mark. The pommel cap has L.D and the blade has J.H. and nothing on the guard. Matching marks were required by the US government, and the fact they are missing or non-matching is a good indication this saber went to the state of Virginia.
The saber is tight with no movements; the blade has the original edge with a few tiny knicks, and a strong point; 100% original leather and twisted wire, an undisturbed pommel cap tang; and properly fits the scabbard. Shipping & Insurance is free. $1500.00

F553. REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY REVOLVER – STAR INLAY: This Remington New Model Army Revolver is serial number 54075, which places its production in January 1864. The gun retains much of its original blue finish that is turning to a light brown patina. It properly functions and is very tight. The grips are also tight with a bone inlay 5-point star on both sides, but no cartouche. The meaning of the star is unknown, but could represent a Corps badge: both the 12th and the 20th Corps use a 5-point star. Most likely a private purchase by either an officer of cavalry soldier. Shipping & Insurance is free. $2300.00

C674. BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG – CAPTURED & IDENTIFIED GEORGIA BOWIE SIDE-KNIFE: This Confederate Bowie Side-Knife is identified to Sergeant William M. Jones of the 50th Georgia Infantry Regiment, and was taken from him when he was captured at a Confederate field hospital with wounds he received during the Battle of Gettysburg at the Battle for the Wheatfield at the Rose Farm.
The knife conforms to a design associated with the Columbus Naval Iron Works and has similar characteristic found on other known Naval Iron Works edge weapons. The Columbus Naval Iron Works (originally established as the Columbus Iron Foundry in 1853) in Columbus, Georgia, was the Confederacy's second-largest industrial manufacturer.
The knife has a spiral designed wood grip; a 5-inch iron cross guard; is 20 1/2 inches long with a 15 1/2 x 1 7/8-inch cast blade which is peened tight with an iron washer.
On the left side of the blade is a period tag that identifies the knife as being taken from Sgt William Jones 50th Gettysburg in hand writing different then the Reference Number 114 for GAR 19.
Sergeant William M. Jones served in Company K of the 50th Georgia Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War. He is most notable for his service at the Battle of Gettysburg, where he was severely wounded and subsequently had to have a leg amputated.
Injury at Gettysburg: On July 2, 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg, he was badly wounded in the leg, which was later amputated below the knee. He was left behind at a field hospital in the rear and taken as a prisoner of war.
