                US Belt Rig with Plate, Cartridge Box and Cap Box
 
 This belt rig is in good condition and includes the cartridge box with US plate, the cap box and US belt plate.  The leather is in overall good condition.  The cartridge box includes both tins and US plate which is attached with a piece of wire.   The box is in good shape with the exception of one roller buckle which is detached but still inside the box.  The cap box is in good condition and still includes the wool and pick.  The belt plate is in excellent condition and has a very pleasing dull brass patina.  The rear has the puppy paw style attachment hooks and the lead is in good condition.  The belt itself is in fair condition and it appears that the loose end was sliced off at some time most likely due to shredding from use.  This belt rig will make an excellent display piece for any collection.  SOLD

                 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

                 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?

                 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?

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.
