SA-1838 Among the rarest of all Civil war items we
have ever offered. This is the numbered, Civil War Sailors
Campaign Medal, with custom solid gold hanger. This hanger
is wonderfully engraved with, "William Durst", "United
States Navy, First Monitor", "First Class Fireman",
"Hampton Roads, March 9TH, 1862.". The planchet is rim
numbered "646". The original research was done in the
1990s and is quite extensive, including testimony of his
service, desertion after service with the Monitor and
re-enlistment under an alias and further service until the
War's end. He was crewman #29 on the USS Monitor as a Coal
Hauler and was on board during the famous combat with the
Merrimac and further service. He was a participant in what
is certainly one of the most famous naval engagements in
history and what historians call the first modern battle.
He served with the USS Monitor from February 25TH, 1862
until it returned to port for repairs in November 1862. He
was ill from constant exposure to smoke and fumes, and
when he was supposed to return to his ship was still
unwell. Instead of returning he recuperated for another 2
months and re-enlisted under alias, Walter David, and
served till the Wars end. By 1912, he was believed to be
the last survivor of the crew of the Monitor and was not
determined that he was not until his death in 1916.
Loads of research on this set. He is even shown in the
famous crew shot of the Monitor shown in the listing. He
is the second seated Sailor, from the left. The medal can
be seen in the newspaper photo as an old man. It is to the
immediate right of the large circular disc around his
neck. Possibly the only opportunity to have an item from
the crew of this most famous Naval Ship. $7250

SA-1817 Civil War Non Regulation Officers Sword
identified by name from the family that owned it, since the
Civil War. German Import blade. Etching is well worn, blued
scabbard has some spotting and roughness, but hasa great
appearance. There is a note from the original family who
inherited it from a former boarder when it was left in their
boarding house in Abington Illinois. The first photo of this
Officer is phenomenal and shows the day he was
promoted!! He still wears his First Sergeants Tunic, but is
wearing an Officers sword belt, sash and sword. Some
research was done but I don't know if it is 100% accurate.
We know his 1ST name is Robert and his last name is either
Quinn or Gwynn. We we know for sure is he lived in Illinois
at some time after the War. We know he rose to the rank of
1ST Sergeant, before being promoted to Lt. We also know that
his unit made it to New Orleans, as he had his portrait
taken there in his Officers frock coat. Should be an
interesting search.
My quick research turned
up a likely match. Robert P. Quinn who enlisted on 9/14/61
as a Sergeant in E Company of the 47TH New York Volunteers.
He rose to the rank of 1ST Sergeant in 1863 and was finally
promoted to 2ND Lt of Company "F" of the 47TH New York.
Strangely he was dismissed from service in January of 1864,
reason unknown. $1795

SA-1642 Rare set of Spanish American War unit
stencils for the 8TH Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry.
On January 7, 1899, the 8th Massachusetts began its service
abroad, steaming for Cuba. It arrived three days later. In
Cuba, it served as part of the occupation force on the
island. The unit would continue in this role until April 4,
1899, when it began its trip home to the U.S., arriving on
April 9, 1899. One appears to be made specifically
for canteens and the other for haversacks and other
equipment. Local Boston maker. It appears the stencil was
held in place by a clamped frame on top of the object to be
stenciled and then they stencil brush was used. Can be
shipped with or without frame. $175

SA-1616 Phenomenal Mexican Revolution, Punitive
Expedition, machete with bold engraved a wild lion like
creatures with the slogan "Soy el Teror De Los Traydores"
which loosely translates "Death to the Traitors". It is
unclear if this was carried by Government supporters
referring to Pancho Villa's men as the "traitors" or if it
was carried by one of Villa's men who looked upon the men
supporting President Caranza as traitors. One of the most
interesting Mexican Revolution its I have ever seen. $895
