For Sale: Union Artifacts

CavMusician01.jpg (147378 bytes) Cavalry Musician's Shell Jacket.  Stunning Schuylkill Arsenal marked, regulation pattern with its arsenal-distinctive plaid liner intact.  The only flaw is minor repair on its right shoulder and three buttons have come off over time (I will provide replacements).  This arguably has the most desirable combination of features you could ask for: cavalry, great condition, awesome lining.  It would be hard to improve on this hard-to-find uniform piece.   $ SOLD
Bugle3rdPA.jpg (797736 bytes) Identified Civil War Bugle.  There are few surviving bugles that can be traced to their owners.  Here's one that was very likely present at Appomattox.  This one's Civil War vintage and regimental association is absolutely guaranteed.  Killer (and known to be Period) maker's mark, unit engraving, great condition.  It took me a while to piece together the mysterious "Battery I 3rd Penna. Artillery" inscription as batteries are scattered and poorly documented.  To make it even more convoluted, this unit's companies/batteries was cross-trained as heavy and light artillery, infantry and navy.  A rare opportunity for the advanced collector.  click here for description and a brief unit history   $ 4,200
Hotchkiss_2_6.jpg (22592 bytes) 2.6" Wiard Rifle Hotchkiss Case Shot.    Iron anvil, rarity 8+.  Shell has a piece broken off the nose and the heel is gone.  Only sixteen of these early-war fieldpieces were issued, all to Ohio Batteries.  This one was from a Shenandoah Valley collectors estate whose family lived near the New Market Battlefield. $ 300
LockUS.jpg (56731 bytes) US marked Ordnance Padlock.    These were used on limber chests and payroll boxes.  A fine example that is unlocked and ready of display. $ 75

Right01.jpg (117768 bytes) M1858 Forage Cap.  Regulation flat-top of classic enlistedman form with L. J. & L. Philips No. 1, Size 6 3/4" paper label.  Buttons have fallen off chinstrap and buttons and polished cotton liner is gone, else in very good condition for display.  Save a few hundred dollars and sew the buttons on yourself (original loose buttons are included). $ 2400
