PC3280 ID Disc This Civil War period identification disc is from a collection from Petersburg, VA. Civil War soldiers would wear these discs, just like dog tags of more modern eras, so they could be identified in the event of injury or death. This disc is in good condition but shows a good deal of wear. The front shows a worn eagle clutching arrows and olive branch, along with "WAR OF 1861" above, and "UNITED STATES" below. The rear is where the name, company, regiment, city and state would be stamped. In this case, this information was either only partially stamped or has been worn off from use. It appears that a few of the letters are present but not enough to provide any information to make an identification. The accompanying watch chain was added at a later date. This disc and chain would make an excellent display piece. The disc is approximately one inch in diameter $475.00 Order Information or Questions? |

PC3200 Original US Cartridge Box with Reproduction US Plate This US cartridge box plate is in good condition with both tins present. On the inner flap the manufacturer's stamping of "J. B. THAXTER / PORTLAND, ME" is present with every letter visible. The overall stitching in the leather is in very good condition. The leather has some crazing, shows wear with a tear in the top flap strap at the eye. Both roller buckles are present but one is unattached and stored inside one of the tins. The US plate is a reproduction which was added at some point. An authentic US cartridge box plate could certainly be added provided the distance between the two attachment loops measures exactly 2 3/8 inches. This cartridge box is perfect for display purposes and would look great in any campsite grouping. $250.00 Order Information or Questions? |

PC2046 Carbine Muzzle Holder This carbine muzzle holder is in excellent condition and is stamped with what I believe to be "J. E. and possibly the letter "T" on its strap. This may have been the inspectors mark. This item is the last of 4 muzzle holders from a collection of relics assembled over several decades by a father and son in Northern, Va. $80.00 Order Information or Questions? |

PC2015 Soldier's Oil Cloth Back Pack This Civil War period oil cloth back pack is most likely an un-issued US government surplus piece most likely purchased and re-sold by Bannerman's, a now defunct dealer in surplus goods. It is in overall good condition and still retains its hooks, straps and buckles. The leather appears to be in decent shape but is somewhat stiff and flat. About five inches of one of the strap tips is broken off and missing but the remaining straps appear complete. The pack has two brass "J" hook hangers and and one other brass hook hanger. These are the same hooks that are commonly dug by diggers as the oil cloth sacks simply disintegrated over the years. One of the straps is inspector marked "R VALENTINE" with "US INSPECTOR" just underneath. The mark is light and can be viewed with a light and magnifier. This fine Civil War period pack will work perfectly in any campsite relic collection. It measures roughly 17 x 18 inches. $225.00 Order Information or Questions? |

PC1937 Huge Pioneer Axe This pioneer axe is a massive relic. The cast steel blade edge itself measures approximately 6 1/2 inches top to bottom and the axe head width is about 8 1/4 inches. The wooden handle is approximately 18 inches long. There are 2 labels, one is the original manufacturer's label that is affixed to the handle and the other is a modern label that explains that it is a pre-Civil War axe. The manufacturer's label is only partially legible. NOTE: It has recently been brought to my attention that the handle is a replacement handle but I have not yet been able to confirm this. This axe is from a collection of relics assembled in northern Va. over several decades and would blend in well with any campsite collection arrangement. $195.00 Ordering Information or Questions? |
