SA-1694 Rare Confederate Waist picked
up at the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee in 1864. Franklin
was one of the bloodiest fights of the Western theater with
over 10,000 killed and wounded. Many Confederate Soldiers
wore simple iron buckle belts with one or two very narrow
belts as closures on an overall wide wider belt. This one
includes a flap which conceals the belt closure when worn.
There is a similar example of this belt on page 16 of
"Collecting the Confederacy", by Shannon Pritchard. The belt
is stenciled "Franklin" across the back, most likely from
being displayed in a GAR Hall.

SA-1690 RARE, Spanish American
War Knapsack flag, captured by US Forces in Puerto Rico.
These rare flags were used by Spanish Soldiers for a variety
of reasons, including as a cover for personal items when in
garrison, a bandana and for unit pride. Approx 20 x 30
inches. $995
An account of how this unit's
knapsack flags were actually "captured" is recounted by
Sergeant John Warner, First Philadelphia City Troop,
Pennsylvania Vol. Cavalry. This unit served in Puerto Rico.
He said of the souvenirs, "The First Kentucky had the
pick, and left us very little. That lucky regiment, you
know, 'went through' everything the (Spanish) soldiers had
left behind, and they had taken very little with them; even
the coffee was untouched on the tables.
It was from the First
Kentucky, which we met at Ponce, that a great many of the
curios brought back by the boys were obtained. Among these
were the flags carried by each man of the Alfonso XIII.
Regiment. Sam Goodman has one—it is two and a half feet
square—made of bunting, with three stripes, a red one top
and bottom and a yellow one between,
upon which is the coat of arms of the regiment. Thanks
to Bill Combs for description and photo. |

SA-1661 Outstanding Civil War Sailors Grouping. This Sailor
began sailing with the Revenue Marine Service in 1861, at
the age of 15. In the Fall of 1862 he lied about his age and
joined the Navy under an Alias. I am not sure why he did
this, unless he deserted from the Revenue Marine Service or
thought by lying about his age he would be paid at a higher
rate. His physical height has 5 ' 1" and was 5"4" when he
was enlisted again in 1865. His pension record is shown, and
also proves this out. There are reproduced paperwork and
photos of this Sailor in his Revenue Cutter Service Uniforms
and His Navy Uniform. My basic research notes are also
present. He appears to have shipped out with the USS
Flambeau and served, boarding and fighting Blockade Runners
until 1864 when his enlistment expired. He then re-enlisted
in 1865, serving on the USS Colorado and sailing to Europe.
He was then stationed on the USS Wampanoag before release in
1868. The group includes his hand sewn white jumper with
hand embroidered decoration. It will need some restoration
as there are some holes as shown. It is stenciled with his
name in two places. As it is light cotton, this should be
fairly simple. Also included is an original CDV of him, from
the 1860s, Civil War unused stationary. His ink bottle and
brush for stenciling his belongings. There are 2 Sea Bags
present, one of which bears the initials of his Father. The
other one was later used by his Brother. His blanket (later
used by his Daughter), was one of 2 which originally was
found with this set. sheet with pillow cover bearing his
Mothers name. There is a hand towel with hanging loops which
appears unused. Civil War Navy material is rare in any form
and groupings like this NEVER come up for sale. Civil War
Navy blankets are almost unknown with just 2 in existence. I
believe it was due to "off the shelf" blankets being
distributed to the rising number of Sailors. When I
purchased this lot Family lore stated that he was on the USS
Hartford and was wounded. I have not been able to yet verify
this and it may have been a sea tale. Research packet is
included. The photos of this Sailor in uniform are copies as
is any paperwork. This was part of a
large grouping that had duplicates of everything except
trousers and photos. It was impressive enough that I kept
the other set for my collection!!
I added the scarf for display, but it is not from the Civil
War. Don't miss this one!!

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-1622 One of the rarest Revolutionary War items we
have ever offered. This bayonet and scabbard were purchased
from France by Benjamin Franklin and Silas Dean for the
American Forces as part of a large arms purchase in December
1776. This bayonet arrived in March of 1777 on board
the Ship Amphitrite. John Langdon was in charge of
Maritime Affairs for the State of New Hampshire and per
instructions of March 19TH, from the New Hampshire House of
Representatives, took possession of 2,016 muskets with
bayonets for 3 Battalions (term used interchangeably at the
time with Regiments). In April and May of 1777, Silversmith
John Ward Gilman was paid 16 pounds, 16 shillings to apply
regimental marking to both guns and bayonets. The muskets
were marked with "NH" followed by "1B, 2B or 3B" specifying
to which battalion it belonged followed by "No." and finally
the number. The bayonets were marked with the same die sets,
but only used the "No." with number. They are easily
distinguished by their marks. Without going into the great
history of the 3RD New Hampshire Battalion, it can be said
that this bayonet and scabbard was definitely used at Saratoga, in the
great American victory. This single action secured the direct support of
the French, and led to their sending troops to America.
Most probably this gun also saw service at the Battles of
Monmouth, Sullivan Campaign, Various Battles in New York and
the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. These are virtually unique
in the world of the American Revolution, in that we know what
happened to these bayonets every step of the way. A phenomenal museum
piece. To bring some pricing background. These muskets now
sell for between $25,000-40,000 depending on condition and
there are about 65-70 known in various condition. I believe
there are only about 35 bayonets known, so they are actually
more rare than the guns!! $3995

SA-1616 Phenomenal Mexican Revolution, Punitive
Expedition, machete with bold engraved a wild lion like

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. $995

SA-1598 Very unusual large bronze spike from

Constructed: in 1816-1864
at Portsmouth, New Hampshire by the Portsmouth Navy Yard.

with copper fastenings believed to have been forged at the
Revere Foundry, established by Paul Revere.
Large spike
is approximately 8 inches in length and bronze. There is a
small piece of copper bottom as well as some items recovered
on and around the ship. The
metalwork of the USS New Hampshire was produced by
Paul Revere's foundry in the war of 1812. (Revere, who died
in 1818, pioneered the use of malleable copper bolts in the
Navy's ships). The New Hampshire went on to serve in the
Union's blockade fleet during the Civil War; it later caught
fire and sank in 1922. Bears "US" stamp. $250 |

SA-1353 Rare Boxer Rebellion Unit Photo (13.5 x 16.5 inches)
of Company L of the 14TH just returned from the Boxer
Rebellion, also known as the China Relief Expedition.
During 1900 the 14th Infantry Regiment was deployed to
China to help put down the
Boxer Rebellion. The 14th was the spearhead in winning a
victory over the Chinese army at the
Battle of Yangcun. At the
Tung Pien Gate in
Peking, the regiment was taking heavy fire and was
unable to effectively engage the enemy. To counteract,
volunteers were called for to scale the wall and lay down
suppressive fire from the better vantage point while the
rest of the regiment followed. Corporal
Calvin P. Titus, a band member and chaplains assistant
from E Company, volunteered, and with rope slung over his
shoulder scaled the wall and laid down the suppressive fire
that allowed more and more soldiers behind him to follow.
For his actions, he was awarded the
Medal of Honor as well as receiving an appointment to
West Point. For their conduct of the operation, the 14th
Infantry Regiment was rewarded by the Chinese government a
large amount of silver bullion which was later fashioned
into an ornamented punchbowl with matching cups and other
dinnerware that is still kept in 2nd Battalion, 14th
Infantry Regiment headquarters. $250
