PC4529 Confederate Imported P-1853 Saber with Scabbard This Confederate imported British Pattern 1853 saber and scabbard is in good condition and very well made. This example has a three branch hand guard and a two piece black, checkered, hard rubber (gutta-percha) grips attached to the tang of blade with 5 pins. Its overall length is 40 1/8 inches and its blade is 34 3/4 inches in length and slightly curved. Its fuller is unstopped and the spine of the blade is marked "ISAACS & Co", near the hand guard. There are no other markings. Its iron scabbard, with iron mountings, throat and drag, measures 35 1/2 inches in length. The scabbard and hilt of sword have an overall even and un-cleaned patina. The blade is bright with dark patches and some minor pitting near the tip. The material of the right grip is deteriorated along the edges (as shown in the additional pictures). It is believed that approximately 5,000 of these sabers were imported into the Confederacy during the American Civil War. These sabers are also referred to by collectors as Enfield cavalry sabers as this was the standard pattern used by British enlisted cavalrymen and dragoons. Some examples of this saber and scabbard are also marked with a "G" and it is believed that this mark indicated that they were for the state of Georgia. This solid saber will be an excellent addition to any Civil War sword or general relic collection. $2,675.00 Order Information or Questions? |

PC5012 Malvern Hill Commemorative Brick As a small child I remember a Malvern Hill brick resting near the fireplace of my family home. To me it represented a great war fought long ago, but only a few miles down the road. After the battle the Union troops would rest in tents in the farm fields just steps away from my back door. I never asked my father about the brick as it didn't need much explanation, I knew, however, that he was very proud of it, even though our ancestors had fought for the south. I suppose, like many of us, I wish I had asked him more questions. I eventually found out that these bricks were produced at a brick kiln at Malvern Hill, VA after the war and were sold as commemorative pieces. Though this example has some chipping on the bottom edge, this particular brick is in much better condition than my father's as this one has no cracks and no repairs. This would be a very cool item to use either as a bookend or even inserted as part of the bricks of a fireplace. The scene on the front of the brick clearly shows a cannon and the following lettering "Malvern Hill Jul 1st 1862" The overall condition is very good with some chipping and wear. Approx. 1 1/2 x 4 x 8 1/2 inches. $265.00 Order Information or Questions? |
