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. 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. $275.00 Ordering Information or Questions? |

PC2012 Sword Belt Plate on Buff Leather Belt This sword belt plate and buff leather belt is in very good condition. The belt, though moderately stiff, does not have any breaks. The stitching appears to be in good condition. The plate has a very pleasing attic aged patina and is missing the wreath that once surrounded the eagle. The brass keeper, attached to the other end of the belt, has the faint number 741 stamped into it while I am unable to detect a corresponding number on the plate. This handsome belt and plate are from a collection of relics assembled in northern Va. over several decades and will make an excellent addition to any collection. $495.00 Ordering Information or Questions? |

PC2090 State of New York Militia Cartridge Box This SNY cartridge box is in very good condition and is complete with plate and both tins. The leather is in great shape and both roller buckles are present. The inside flap is clearly marked with the manufacturer's stamp of "Baker & McKenney N-Y". The plate, with its dull brass patina, is in excellent shape, has both attachment hooks, and is attached by a bit of the leather thong at one attachment loop. Notice that the letters "SNY" on this plate are that of the "broad letter" style and an example of which can be found as plate 548 on page 337 of O'Donnell and Campbell's book "American Military Belt Plates", 2nd edition. This cartridge box will make an excellent addition to any collection. $1,395.00 Ordering Information or Questions? |
