SCARCE CUSTER RANGE COLT CAVALRY SAA REVOLVER

Lot #3132 (Sale Order 150 of 841)

WITH KOPEC LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY. Cal. 45 Colt. S# 6713. This particular SAA was just added to the database July 2019. This gun falls into lot seven (no. 6157-7527). Group seven (issued in 1874) typically is considered outside the Custer S# range however there are at least 3 documented Custer seventh Cavalry guns in this group. There is little doubt that this gun was the property of a deserter of a U.S. Cavalry regiment as "US" markings have been purposefully removed. A deserter would not want to be found w/ evidence of a Government owned gun. This is a very nice example of a no doubt Indian War Cavalryman carried early SAA in original configuration w/ 7 1/2" bbl. w/ traces of original blue & case color having correct 1 line Hartford address. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: accompanying this gun is a detailed 2 page letter from well known Custer authority & historian John A. Kopec. CONDITION: all major portions of this gun are original & overall in very good condition. The only items not original to its 1874 mfg. would be a replaced 2nd style ejector housing & the base pin screw has been changed to a knurled cap screw, which is a most interesting alteration. S#'s are found on bbl., frame, trigger guard, backstrap & inked inside backstrap channel of grip. As noted previously, the inspector cartouche on left grip has been scratched off. Grips have fine hand worn patina overall including area where inspection was removed, chipped inside left front toe, light tacking marks. Ainsworth "A" sub inspector marks are found on bbl., trigger guard, cyl. & backstrap. The "A" on cyl. is only partially seen as there is a distinct gouge mark removing it. Left side of frame has 2 line patent markings & did have "U.S.", signifying government ownership, but both letters have been obliterated leaving just the periods behind the 2 letters. Whoever stole this gun from the U.S. Cavalry took good care of it as it still has crisp action & a crisp rifled bore. (01-16836/JS). ANTIQUE. $20,000-25,000.

SCARCE CUSTER RANGE COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION

Lot #3133 (Sale Order 151 of 841)

ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER. Cal. 45. S# 6565. This serial number was just added to the database in mid-2014. It is only 6 serial numbers removed from a single action (Sn 6559) that belonged to Custer’s 7th US Cavalry at the date of the Custer battle, June 25, 1876. John Kopec noted author & historian is the accepted authority on Custer Era Colt single action revolvers. His letters of authentication document history & physical characteristics of the specific gun. His letter accompanies this SAA. Usual configuration other than bbl. has been shortened 5-5/8”, this gun also was found & ivory grips which have been properly restored w/ wood. Correct 1 line script letter address, left side of frame has 2 line patent dates & "U.S." stamped upside down (there are 8 other guns in this serial range w/ this same most unusual “upside down US” ranging from serial number 6538-6764). Tiny "A" (Orville W. Ainsworth) sub-inspector initials found on several parts including bottom of bbl., trigger guard, backstrap & cyl. Matching S#'s were found on the frame, trigger guard, backstrap & cyl. Ejector housing is 3rd. type w/ new bullseye ejector rod head. A bbl. stud has been affixed to the bbl. when this gun was modified w/ shortened bbl. & new ejector. Base pin is correct type w/ dimpled ends. Revolver has early features consisting of a sharp toe on the buttstrap & lg. cyl. stop notches w/out approaches. This revolver was part of Lot 7 from which the 1st, 2nd & 7th Cavalry regiments were issued the "new" revolvers in 1874 w/ the 7th Cavalry receiving unknown number of revolvers from the S# range 6517 – 7527. Probably the most significant Custer identified Lot 7 revolver is serial number 7047 which was recovered from the Custer Battlefield in 1933. The fact that this revolver has remained in original configuration until today is indicative that it escaped the recalls of the 1890s & early 20th century & further promotes the idea that it may have been captured by hostiles in June 1876. CONDITION: good overall. Bbl. address, s#'s & inspector marks are discernible. As noted, grips are proper restorations, there are several replay screws, ejector is replaced, bbl. was privately shortened & a modified front sight was added. Even though well used, cleaned & restored; this gun presents beautifully w/ crisp markings, only top line of patents on frame is weak & the well struck upside down US is quite the novelty. (01-16837/JS). ANTIQUE. $15,000-20,000.

RARE & EXTREMELY FINE MARTIALLY MARKED COLT

Lot #3155 (Sale Order 173 of 841)

MODEL 1860 ARMY RICHARDS CONVERSION REVOLVER. S# 98539/729. Cal. 44 Colt CF. Springfield Armory produced an extremely low number of these rare conversions shortly before Colt began manufacturing single action army revolvers. These are among the rarest of US cartridge revolvers. The Book of Colt Firearms by Wilson indicates there were only approximately 1200 conversions in two uniquely numbered series. The first variation utilized an “A” w/ the conversion number; this was omitted on second variation pistols. These conversions are typically found w/ very little finish after a life of hard use as the first military issued cartridge revolver. This revolver is one of the highest condition examples known. It features blue & color case hardened finish w/ 7-7/8 rnd bbl, single line address and German silver front sight. A small “US” is located on the left side of bbl lug. “COLTS PATENT” located on the left side of frame. This second type conversion has mixed S#s all of which are accompanied by the conversion number “729?, which also appears on the bottom of the wedge, trigger guard, in two places on the bottom of the bbl lug, ejector lug, frame, cylinder arbor, butt strap & cylinder. The blued steel back strap and silver plated brass trigger guard w/ matching 1 piece walnut grip w. S# “729? inked in the back strap channel. Left side of the grip “OWA” (Orville W. Ainsworth) cartouche that is in very good shape. Various parts including externally trigger guard, bbl. & cylinder are marked w/ a small “A” inspector initials. CONDITION: a very fine to extremely fine all matching example. Bbl. retains approx. 95% strong arsenal blue. Aside for some light fading on the left recoil shield and the loading gate the conversion retains approximately 95% strong arsenal case colors on the loading gate, frame, hammer & conversion ring. The cylinder retains approx. 98% of the Ormsby Naval battle scene roll marking and approximately 30% original thinning blue, which is bright in rebated area. Cylinder shows little signs of use. Traces of silver plate remain on the trigger guard. The back strap retains 60% thinning arsenal blue. Grip sound & well fit, tiny chip right inside toe, moderate edge wear, retaining most of its original oil finish. Mechanics are excellent, bright shiny bore. A truly exemplary example of the 1st cartridge issued American martial side arm w/ only a few insignificant cosmetic blemishes. PROVENANCE: Jeffery Braksted, Great Falls, MT; Lewis Yearout, Great Falls, MT, 1992. Estate Collection of Lewis & Leyton Yearout, 2014. (01-16835/JS). ANTIQUE. $15,000-20,000.

Leech & Rigdon had a contract w/ the Confederate Government for the manufacture of 1500 revolvers so, at Greensboro, they continued to manufacture pistols in fulfillment of that contract. “Records from the Augusta Arsenal indicate that from September of 1863 to March of 1864, some 903 revolvers were received from Leech & Rigdon, 814 of which were issued. SN 571, was no doubt, one of the 814 issued”. This gun is well above average for Confederate primary revolver, w/ matching serial numbers throughout.

FINE RIGDON & ANSLEY CONFEDERATE REVOLVER CARRIED

Lot #3297 (Sale Order 338 of 841)

BY CAPTAIN LUTHER M. CLEMENTS, CO. F, 41ST ALABAMA WITH ORIGINAL HOLSTER. Cal. 36. S# 1915. This Confederate revolver & holster are new to the market just coming from Clement's estate & never previously offered (or known). This pistol is accompanied in the following lot by his Leech & Rigdon sword w/ his name etched on blade. This revolver was made in Augusta, GA & is the first known S# made w/ large style S# dies. Top of bbl. flat is properly marked & inspected “CSA”. This gun represents the final refinements to Confederate navy revolvers originally made by Leech & Rigdon & finally by Rigdon & Ansley w/ 12 stops, Navy style latch & cap release groove. The earliest known lg. die S# previously was 1920 w/ the highest known number 2359. This gun appears all original, matching & "as found" attic condition. No doubt this gun has been maintained in its accompanying holster for many years & maybe since the War. This gun does not appear to have had a screwdriver on it since the War so we did not attempt to take it apart. External S#s are all matching as found on bbl, loading arm, cylinder, frame, trigger guard & backstrap. Grips are inspected with a script cartouche "WH" (Wescom Hudgins). A cryptic “J” is found on the trigger guard just rear of S# toward trigger bow. This example is particularly crisp w/ original bright finish. There are very few Confederate handguns w/ ironclad provenance as to the person who carried them & Clements was part of a hard fought regiment entering service May, 1861 & serving the entire war up to Appomattox, even though being wounded at the battle of Chickamauga. The 41st had numerous casualties during the War. Of the approx. 1,400 men on the rolls, over 500 were killed or died during service. Captain Luther Morgan Clements born in 1825 from prominent Tuscaloosa, Alabama family. He attended the University of Alabama and Jefferson Medical College. He entered service April 22, 1861 in Company H, “Warrior Guards” 5th Alabama infantry. He was elected 2nd lieutenant December 16, 1861. By April 1, 1862 Luther was a 1st lieutenant in Company F, 41st Alabama infantry. Luther was wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga, and February 14, 1864 he was promoted to captain, which rank he held till Appomattox where he was paroled, April 1865. Luther Clements died November 30, 1903 in Tuscaloosa. A more detailed service record and biography accompanies revolver and sword. Clements family papers are housed in special collections at University of Alabama library donated by Charles Brasfield whose estate this revolver descended. CONDITION: very good to fine overall. All matching. Iron is mix of mottled grey/plum w/ areas of staining & pitting. Gun shows light muzzle wear. Patches of bright blue are found scattered on gun, especially in protected areas on bottom of bbl., left side of bbl. housing & cyl. The frame has a mottled silver/gray patina w/ areas of rust & pitting. There is a quite noticeable casting flaw on the bottom right recoil shield highly characteristic of this maker. Grips are well fit w/ hand worn patina retaining much of their original thin factory varnish. Inspector's cartouche on right bottom grip is crisp & well defined. Mechanically gun does not function though mainspring is still quite strong & cyl. does not rotate when cocked. Rifled bore is crisp w/ scattered pitting. Holster is overall fine & supple. Fits gun snugly like a glove. The plug at muzzle is long gone & has wear & patina commensurate to it being missing since the War. Holster overall retains much of its original brown finish w/ craquelure & scuffing. Still a superior condition for a bona fide Confederate made military holster. PROVENANCE: Barbara Brasfield estate, Lubbock, TX, 2019. (01-16971/JS). ANTIQUE. $25,000-35,000.

RARE & "AS FOUND" LEECH & RIGDON "FLOATING CS"

Lot #3298 (Sale Order 339 of 841)

OFFICER'S SWORD INSCRIBED TO LT. LUTHER M. CLEMENTS 41ST ALABAMA. This rare sword is among the most aesthetically pleasing officer's swords made by Leech & Rigdon of Columbus, Mississippi & later Greensboro, Georgia. The hilt is florally decorated w/ lg. stylized multi petaled flower on bottom of guard & top of guard in 2 different designs. The top branch of guard has cutout letters "CS". An assembly or S# "121" is found on blade, each scabbard mount & leather body of scabbard. An 8 1/4" etched panel contains a lg. floral wreath surrounding presentation "Lieut L. M. Clements". Clements was promoted to 2nd lieutenant in December 1861 when a member of Co. H. 5th Alabama infantry, “Warrior Guards”. He probably obtained the sword in early 1862 after being promoted to 1st lieutenant with the 41st Alabama, the rank he held through his wounding at the Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863. He was promoted after his convalescence at home following Chickamauga, February 1864. His sword is quite special and rare in that it has his finely etched name with rank on blade, there are very few numbered Leech & Rigdon swords with this feature, most have plain blades. CONDITION: very good overall. The 29 1/2" blade was probably just over 30" as tip is broken. Blade is gray overall w/ several nicks in cutting edge reminiscent of sword to sword contact. The leather wrapped grip is in fine condition w/ hand worn patina. The twisted brass wire wrap is complete & intact. Brass guard shows old polish, medium mustard patina w/ scattered stains. Scabbard mounts have mixed mustard/olive patina. The tooled leather scabbard body is sound & supple w/ crazing & scuffs. The scabbard body is complete in length but missing the drag. PROVENANCE: Barbara Brasfield estate, Lubbock, TX, 2019. (02-13177/JS). $12,000-15,000.

NAVY REVOLVER. Cal. 36. S# 467. 13 1/16" Overall, 7 7/16" oct. bbl. Comparing the S# dies of this gun & four known Columbus Firearms revolvers, numbers on this gun are very similar if not identical dies. This gun is thought to be a product of Columbus, Georgia firm of Louis Haiman and Brother. S# "46" w/ oct. bbl. housing in the Hayes Otoupalik Collection is also unmarked, made by same maker as subject gun. S# 94 also has octagonal bbl. that is marked "COLUMBUS FIREARMS".

CONFEDERATE HOLSTER TAKEN AS SOUVENIR FROM APPOMATTOX BY OFFICER ON GENERAL JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN’S STAFF. Cal. 36. S# 94315. This “as found” Colt Hartford Navy Revolver most likely was one shipped South in 1860. A nearly identical condition Colt navy & consecutive serial number (94314) was sold by Julia’s auction in 2015 inscribed to a Charleston South Carolina soldier in the Washington Light Infantry. Considering that a majority of the 3000 or so Hartford Navies made in 1860 were shipped to South Carolina & Alabama in this serial range, this fine example most likely made its way to the Confederacy, as the accompanying holster is classic well made Confederate style & family history of it being souvenir from Appomattox. Though unmarked, holster has features seen on Confederate contracted examples copied from the English including the placement of tab folding up, style of sewing finial w/ a circular sewn backing. The finial is most unique being a cone shaped brass pedestal that I have not encountered before, lead & wood finials are the most classic Confederate, but early war, brass was not uncommon as here & such a unique example. There are examples of holsters housing Confederate primary pistols such as Leech & Rigdons or Griswolds of nearly identical form. Unfortunately, we have no history on this pair other than they were Union souvenirs. But regardless; it is a beautiful untouched example of among the most popular Confederate side arms in Confederate holster & superior condition. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: a notarized affidavit from descendent stating provenance of his ancestor. CONDITION: very good. All original & matching serial numbers. Iron overall is a mottled gray/brown patina w/ pitting. Cyl. scene is about half visible. Tiny traces of finish in protected areas. Crisp markings.

Holster is very good to fine & better than most militarily used. Some crazing to body, tab is sound & solid though there is a crack at closure, sewn belt loop & the muzzle plug also sound & solid. (01-16540/JS). ANTIQUE. $3,000-4,000.

PAIR OF CONFEDERATE MORSE CARBINE CARTRIDGE BOXES.

Lot #3308 (Sale Order 349 of 841)

As far as we are aware, the only examples of these rare Morse cartridge boxes were found in a Morse wooden shipping crate pictured on pg. 197 of "Confederate Carbines & Musketoons" by Murphy & Madaus. There were 6 sets of these boxes found on their original cotton web waist belts when the crate was found. This crate was found at the headquarters of a local South Carolina State Homeguard in Pendleton, SC in the mid 1960's. Home still standing today. The actual battlefield use of Morse Carbines based on excavated examples are late war 1864 & 1865. The cartridges were so valuable that each tin tube that retains them had a cushion made of a few square inches of wadded newspaper or some scrap homespun cotton webbing. The scraps of paper & cotton removed from another box offered as next lot in this auction were from scarce 1864 Columbia South Carolina newspaper, "Southern Weekly". War news is found on every fragment of examples examined date from late 1864. Black leather cartridge box, approx. 10.5" wide by 4" in height by 1.5" in depth. Designed for use w/ 50 caliber brass cartridges for the Confederate Morse carbine. Body is formed w/ a single piece of leather which functions as the back & folds over the top to serve as the outer flap. The outer flap secures to the back w/ two closure tabs sewn to the underside of the flap at either end. Interior of the box comprises 12 tinned iron cylindrical tubes encased in leather which is stitched to the back. 2 Brass loop tabs placed between the 2nd & 3rd tubes from each end function as both loops for the waist belt & finials for the attachment of the closure tabs. Tanned finish on outer flap. Typical of Confederate products, Morse cartridge boxes show variations in stitching, size, & materials such that no two are alike. At the same time, all were almost certainly made in the same place (Greenville, SC), by the same makers, & at approx. the same time (1863-1864). As such, these are among the rarest of any Civil War cartridge boxes. You will note, interiors on these 2 boxes are identical, outer flap on 1 is larger than the other however. CONDITION: fair overall. One box w/ the larger flap is mostly intact & complete, though missing 1 of its brass belt loops. This box is quite stiff even though it has been coated w/ an emollient (possibly Lexol), it still can only be opened partially. The other box w/ sm. flap retains both brass belt loops are equally dry, has not been treated w/ emollient, but much of the thin leather cover to each tube is cracked or broken as can be seen in photos. Regardless; this is such a rare pair of boxes they can be conserved & can be more flexible. PROVENANCE: Found in Historic Home Pendleton, South Carolina about 1963; Meeham's Antiques, Pendleton SC; William A Floyd; George Wray Collection; Atlanta History Center 2005.

1861 CONFEDERATE CONVERSION OF A HALL FLINTLOCK

Lot #3320 (Sale Order 361 of 841)

RIFLE TO CONFEDERATE CARBINE POSSIBLY SOUTH CAROLINA. Cal. 54. NSN. A Confederate arsenal/armory conversion of an 1819 Hall flintlock rifle mfg. in 1834 (probably in South Carolina). The overall length is 41 3/4". The rifled bbl. has been cut from 32 5/8" to 21 3/4" & has deeply stamped "25" on the underside (internally), 1 1/2" forward of the breech. The sights remain offset to the left to clear the hammer. The breechblock has been altered to percussion by removing the frizzen & "knocking off" the frizzen supports, placing a percussion cone in the old pan & substituting a new percussion hammer for the flintlock cock. The stock has been thinned about the breech mechanism to prevent snagging the horseman's equipage. The Hall trigger guard assembly has remained intact. This is one of three known conversions of this type using Hall rifles stored in US Arsenals at the start of the war. Ammunition was a .52 cal. paper wrapped cartridge & a separate copper percussion cap. The Hall was the first US breechloader, but was never a popular weapon because of gas leakage at the breech. CONDITION: good to very good overall. Metal is a mottled brown/plum patina w/ areas of pitting especially at breech. Stock is sound w/ old varnish & several crack repairs below breech. Mechanics are sluggish & need attention. Bore is bright showing multi groove Hall rifling. PROVENANCE: Herbert "Bert" Murch Collection. (01-16413/JS). ANTIQUE. $2,000-3,000.

Lot #3322 (Sale Order 363 of 841)

BRASS FRAME BREECH LOADING PERCUSSION CARBINE. Cal. 54. NSN. This is an “attic” condition example of a rare Confederate carbine. The Keen, Walker & Co. carbine long known as the Confederate “Perry” or “Tilting Breech” carbine was the subject of much speculation as to where it was manufactured in early texts, scholarly research identifies it definitively as the product of Keen, Walker & Co. in Danville, Virginia. John Murphy & Howard Madaus in their comprehensive 2002 text Confederate Carbines & Musketoons devote a chapter on this manufacturer. They note a receipt for 101 breech loading carbines delivered May 19, 1862 to the Confederate Ordnance Department. Total production is thought to be 282 guns produced in 1862. The frame is of brass & unmarked externally. Internally Roman numerals would be found, but this gun has not been disassembled due to its fine aesthetic. The 22-1/2" bbl is rifled & marked only with a “P” proof on the left side. CONDITION: very good overall. Excellent for a Confederate arm. Iron has a mottled gray/plum patina.

S# & cryptic number are only visible on bbl. channel of stock "H 76". Long assumed to have been made from parts captured at Harpers Ferry that were thereafter assembled by J. B. Barret in Wytheville, Virginia, it is now clear that these rifles were actually assembled by N. T. Read & John J. Watson of Danville from carbines & rifles the state had received prior to the outbreak of the Civil War under the Militia Act. In the process of altering the rifles, the original Hall breech block & frame were replaced by a brass breech piece w/ a centrally positioned iron breech plug for the bbl. into which a nipple was screwed. The new breech piece is a sm., narrow insert, only the rear tang of which extends part way back along the top of the wrist of the stock. Original Hall parts are used as are the bbls., bbl. bands, buttplates, triggers, & trigger guards. The buttstock was of new manufacture. The forestock is original Hall joined w/ a staple.

The Type II variation of this rifle has a heavy cast brass breech support significantly larger than that of the Type I. This breech piece is bulky, w/ a heavy rearward extending tang which covers the top of the wrist of the stock & the top front part of the comb of the stock.

RED SILK UNIFORM SASH FROM DIRECT FAMILY DESCENT. Regulation general sash is buff in color, this sash is red & measures just over 100” plus 8” knotted tassels, 4” wide. Polk in wartime photo is seen wearing a red sash in his Maj. Gen.’s uniform, however; Polk in Civil War era CDVs dressed in his clerical bishop’s robe, wears a hand tinted red vestment which is similar to sash. Maybe that is the reason for the “Fighting Bishop” not opting for a buff sash. Polk was killed at Battle of Pine Mountain on June 14, 1864 & possibly he was wearing the sash, as a noted dealer Shannon Pritchard in letter accompanying states that a latent bloodstain reagent tested positive for blood. Identified relics from any Civil War general are rarely offered, especially w/ family lineage found in provenance here.

RARE CONFEDERATE KG&K, COLUMBIA, SC "WADE HAMPTON

Lot #3341 (Sale Order 382 of 841)

STYLE" CAVALRY OFFICER'S SABER. These massive Confederate cavalry sabers made by Kraft, Goldschmidt & Kraft of Columbia, SC are associated w/ General Wade Hampton as he & several of his officers are known to have carried them. It is thought Hampton personally had these swords made, as Hampton's cavalry were known to be real fighters & Hampton's officers would carry the largest of all Confederate Cavalry officer's sabers. These blockade run 38" long massive dbl. edged blades are finest Solingen, German made, 3 fullered & etched w/ patriotic motifs of crossed flags & crossed cannon. Possibly the heaviest of all Confederate manufactured cavalry swords, this huge sword, originally made w/ a leather finger ring to assist the user in holding on to this weapon when it is swung w/ enthusiasm. This sword exhibits a rare & unique combination of authentic beauty & deadly utility, which reflects Wade Hampton's tactical view that mounted cavalry would fight on horseback. Hampton himself, owned at least two of these swords & was witnessed to kill several Yankees w/ them. Lore tells of one instance when, w/ a swift downward stroke, he cleaved a Yankee's head in two, down to the neck. Interestingly, the other Civil War Cavalry General best known for horse mounted sword charges (other than Nathan Bedford Forest) was the Union's famous General George Armstrong Custer, who also carried this sword, which he captured from a South Carolinian, & was his primary battle sword of choice for the balance of the war. This most desirable pattern w/ distinct KG&K made Confederate massive "Prussian Style" hilt w/ overlapping decorated branches. The massive lap seamed iron scabbard is mounted w/ distinctive brass KG&K ring mounts, pinned throat & drag. With most of these rare swords in museums, this is a rare opportunity to find such a beautiful example available to the public. CONDITION: very good overall. Leather is mostly missing from carved wood grip which has patinaed dark matching remaining leather retained by original fine twisted brass wire wrap. Blade is overall grey w/ old cleaning & scattered areas of staining & light pitting especially on ricasso. Etched patriotic panels are discernible. Protective leather washer missing as is leather finger loop. Hilt is complete w/ crack at first branch entering guard. Scabbard is sound & solid, above average w/ rich patina to brass.

VERY FINE CONFEDERATE CAVALRY SABER IDENTIFIED TO

Lot #3346 (Sale Order 387 of 841)

THOMAS GOODE OF 3RD VIRGINIA CAVALRY. Louis Haiman was among the most prolific sword makers in the Confederacy. His cavalry sabers are quite distinctive showing a horizontal "flaw" at ricasso showing the braising of iron to steel. His hilt's are also distinctive w/ lg. thick pommel, heavy iron wire & often w/ oil cloth grips such as this one. Haiman scabbards are also distinct being lap seamed w/ lead solder, iron flange soldered throats & distinctive heavy brass mts. These swords are not rare, they are commonly encountered, but this example ranks in the top few percent of completeness & condition plus it has history of the original owner. Thomas Francis Goode, a Mecklinberg country lawyer & member of the Virginia Secession Convention carried this sword. He enlisted in the 2nd Virginia Cavalry in May 1861 & was elected Capt. of Co. E. Co. E became a part of the 3rd Virginia Cavalry where Goode rose to the rank of Col., commanding the regiment until Oct. 1862. The 3rd saw action at Yorktown, Williamsburg, the Seven Days Battle, the Battle of 2nd Bull Run, and Anteitam. He distinguished himself in battle under J.E.B Stuart, charging two companies of Illinois Cavalry w/ 100 men, driving them back into a lg. Union force. Gen. Bankhead recommended him for promotion to Brigadier General. J.E.B. Stuart wrote his wife a few days later saying, "the 3rd VA cavalry (Col. Goode) is now in my brigade & made a handsome charge". This sword was purchased from the descendants of Thomas Francis Goode by our consignor. CONDITION: 35 3/4" blade shows original tool marks, is overall gray w/ staining & chipped blade tip. Grips retains most of its original oil cloth still w/ bright black color though worn & chipped at high areas & about 5% missing under pommel. Brass has a medium mustard patina matching on brass scabbard mts. Scabbard is smooth & brown w/ 1 lg. dent near drag. There appears to be additional peening on pommel to tighten hilt, which is very tight now. It is missing its protective leather washer that would have normally kept sword tight. PROVENANCE: Herbert "Bert" Murch Collection. (02-12863/JS). $4,000-6,000.

CONFEDERATE BOWIE-BAYONET PURCHASED FROM NORM

Lot #3356 (Sale Order 397 of 841)

FLAYDERMAN. This exact Bowie knife was purchased from Norm Flayderman from his website as item E839 about 2013 a copy of listing accompanies. Norm described this knife “fine condition" & certainly professionally cutler made specimen w/ sturdy, beautifully shaped 12 inch single edge blade w/ “clip point” having sharpened edge. One of the key features of both those dbl. ringed mountings is the fact that they are unfinished on the inside of each of 2 circular rings which strongly suggest they were never intended to fit over the muzzle of a rifle bbl. & neither is there a provision to fit over the front sight or lock onto the muzzle of a rifle. There’s a key feature on not only on this specimen, but on all known specimens which immediately gives cause to believe that there is a possibility that this type of unique “bowie – bayonet” was of Confederate manufacturer & was made for dual use as a bowie knife & as a fitting on the end of a wooden battle pike shaft. The wood grips are identical on all models. These grips on this specimen are excellent condition w/ a nice deep, mellow age patina. Condition of the blade is also excellent w/ deep age patina, needs just like surface cleaning; at most there may be some minor rust surface blemishes. It is about the best condition of one of these we’ve run across in a long while. It’s identical to the 2 specimens shown on page 215 of the book “The Bowie Knife; unsheathing An American Legend”. CONDITION: as noted above, one caveat, Norm Flayderman rarely made mistakes, but in our opinion this knife is a facsimile, extremely well made, but no more than 50 years old. Regardless this knife is being sold unreserved. (02-13155/JS). $400-500.

UNIQUE CIVIL WAR HAND DRAWN MAP OF THE DEFENSES

Lot #3357 (Sale Order 398 of 841)

An intensely visually attractive map drawn on light blue paper showing the many defenses of Charleston Harbor. The Atlantic Ocean, Charleston Harbor, Cooper River, Ashley River & Stono River are depicted in dark blue. Marshes are shown in black. Fortifications & gun placements are rendered in orange. There are many written notations on the map that have been conclusively proven to be the handwriting of Captain Guy Dingus Huffman of the 46th Virginia Infantry. An inscription at the base of the map reads "For Capt. Huffman Co. K. 46. Va. Regt.". It is likely that Captain Huffman also drew the map itself & depicted ships attacking Charleston & blockading it's harbor. The map, among its many details & intricacies, depicts the gun placements of General P.G.T. Beauregard, fortifications & commanders, ironclads & ships of the line, railroad lines as well as a list of relative distances of various installations from Charleston proper. Captain Huffman was already a seasoned warrior by the time he reached the defenses of Charleston in 1863. He suffered a wound at Cemetery Hill but returned to service. He enlisted at New Castle, Virginia as a lieutenant & was quickly promoted to captain. Initially he had voted against succession, but loyally followed his home state of Virginia into rebellion. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: a copy of "North South Trader's Civil War" magazine Vol. 33 No. 1 / 2008 w/ an article about the map titled "Charleston Cartography" on pages 68-72.

Lot #3358 (Sale Order 399 of 841)

Cal. 58. S# 16. This carbine was no doubt a product of the Columbus Armory, though the lock is unmarked. Several Confederate carbines made by various makers in Columbus, Georgia & the surrounding area have similar features. Among these makers are J. P. Murray, Columbus Armory, Dickson-Nelson, and David & Bozeman. All these manufacturers share similar design. All these makers normally marked their guns, w/ exception of the Columbus Armory, where only 2 marked complete specimens are known. Based on this information, we know this unmarked carbine to be a product of the Columbus Armory. Earlier literature usually identifies these guns as J. P. Murray. Information on the Columbus Armory only recently has come to light in the marvelous book by John Murphy & Howard Madaus, Confederate Carbines and Musketoons. Murphy & Madaus, in their book, describe a letter from John D. Gray, of the Columbus Armory, describing his contract for carbines. Hammer & lockplate are “XVI. 24" Bbl. is stamped "3" under breech end & also stamped near the breech "PRO F.C.H. PRO" is an abbreviation for Proved & "FCH" are the initials of Major F.C. Humpfries, the officer in charge of ordnance activities in Columbus, GA. This is one of 80 carbines delivered on June 20, 1864 to Confederate Ordnance. Stock has roman numeral "IV" in bbl. channel.

He served as a brigade commander, division commander and corps commander in the Army of the Potomac. He and his troops saw battle at Cedar Mountain, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Winchester and Gettysburg. Williams was transferred to the Army of the Cumberland in October of 1863. He was commander of the 1st Division of the 20th Corps. During the Atlanta Campaign, Williams and his men saw battle at Resaca, New Hope Church, Kolb’s Farm, Peach Tree Creek and in the siege and capture of Atlanta. In November of 1864, Williams was made commander of the 20th Corps, the first troops to enter Savannah. On January 12, 1865, Williams was breveted the rank of Major General. In the Carolina Campaign, Williams fought in the battles of Averasboro and Bentonville.” Williams was not a West Point graduate, and was often passed over for promotions, but consistently earned the praise of his superiors, and is widely considered among the best non-professional Civil War generals. He was a quiet and unassuming man, and refused to put himself forward, or to lobby for personal advancement. To his soldiers, he was “Pap” Williams, a nickname he earned because he treated his men like they were his sons. Gen. Williams writes his daughter January 27, 1863 from winter quarters in Stafford Virginia concerning the presentation of the sword: “….some sixty officers, Colonel Knipe, now commanding the brigade, received me with a very flattering speech, opened the box, and took out a most magnificent sword and a belt and sash, which he presented on the part of the officers. I was so taken by surprise, so affected by the manner in the mode the testimonial was made, so filled with recollections of the past several months that this gallant brigade has been under my command, of the many changes that death has made, that I fairly broke down and for the 2nd time since I have been in service, tears flowed freely. You can hardly realize how attached I have become, too many of these officers who have been with me through so many trials, privatizations, and dangers. Of course it makes me very happy to know how they love me, as I know they do, sincerely. The sword is the most gorgeous thing I have seen, costing nearly $400. Nobody but the officers of my old brigade was permitted to subscribe…..” Just released in April 2019 is a definitive biography on Gen'l Williams' Michigan's Civil War Citizen-General. Alpheus S.

BATTLE SWORDS, PORTRAIT AND RELATED MATERIAL OF

Lot #3381A (Sale Order 423 of 841)

BRIGADIER GENERAL CORNELIUS G. ATTWOOD. We are exceptionally pleased to offer the Civil War carried swords of Brigadier General Attwood along with a remarkable archive of historical ephemera relating to his wartime, as well as post war life and experiences. General Attwood led one of the most valorous and hard-fighting units of the Union Army in the Civil War, the 25th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, earning enumerable accolades and several promotions. General Attwood could truly be called one of our national heroes of the Civil War. He was born in Bangor, Maine in 1836. In his youth he joined a local militia unit and in October of 1861 was appointed Captain of Company C, 25th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. The regiment merged into the 18th Corps and fought in the famed “Heckman’s Star Brigade,” becoming one of the Union Army’s top fighting regiments. Captain Attwood was promoted to Major on October 29, 1862 and commanded the unit in many subsequent battles included Burnside’s expedition into Virginia and North Carolina. He carried the first American flag ashore during the assault on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. Attwood and Burnside remained close friends for the remainder of their lives. By war’s end, the 25th Mass had fought in more than 25 battles and skirmishes. Besides the landing at Roanoke Island, they fought with bravery at New Berne, Goldsboro, Drury’s Bluff, Petersburg and Cold Harbor where Major Attwood was seriously wounded. With their remaining 300 men, the 25th mustered for General Grant’s futile onslaught at Cold Harbor, where they sustained 24 killed including 6 officers, 142 wounded and 49 missing. In total, at Cold Harbor, 7,000 men were killed, wounded or missing in less than an hour. After being withdrawn from the Petersburg trenches, the gallant 25th was mustered out of service on October 20th, 1864. Major Attwood was brevetted to Lieutenant Colonel and soon after to Brigadier General for “gallant and meritorious service during the war”. After the war he was appointed Deputy Collector of the Port of Boston and later Secretary of the Board of Trade. In 1876, General Attwood was appointed Inspector General of Massachusetts where he was principally in charge of the state militia. He held multiple GAR offices including Post Commander, National Quartermaster and National Adjutant-General. Attwood died January 19, 1888 in Roxbury, Ma. at the age of 52. During General Attwood’s career he acquired two swords. The first, a foot officer’s sword, bears the inscription: "Lieut. C.G. Attwood, Boston" on the top mount. The second, a staff and field officer’s sword is inscribed on the top mount: "Capt. C.G. Attwood, Boston". An elaborate inscription down the full length of the steel scabbard reads: "Brigadier Gen. Cornelius G. Attwood Boston Private Co. A, 1st Regt. M.V.M. Sept 29, 1856 2nd Lt. Co., 3rd Batt. Rifles M.V. Apl. 22, 1861 Capt. Co. C. 25th Reg. M.V. Oct. 12 1861 Major 25th Reg. M.V. Oct. 29. 1862/Bvt. Lt. Col. U.S.V. Mch. Brig. Gen. & Insp. Gen. M.V.M. Jan. 12. 1876 Battles 1862-3-4-- Roanoke Island. Newbern. Kinston. Whitehall. Goldsboro. Tranter's Creek. Trenton. Tarboro. Jumping Run. Deep Gully. Gum Creek. Port Wallthall. Arrowfield Church. Richmond Turnpike. Proctor's Creek. Drury's Bluff. Coal Harbor." The Attwood grouping, obtained from a Maine descendent, further contains his gold bullion General’s epaulettes encased in an identified carrying tin. The exceptional, heroic, war dated (1862) field done oil painting measuring 19" x 23" (sight size of painting) is in its large original neoclassic frame measuring 36" x 32". The painting depicts then Major Attwood with his arm resting on a cannon wheel, holding his staff and field officer sword. The painting, signed with the initials,"AR", has almost certain provenance to the well-known painter, Alexander Ransom. This extensive group further contains Attwood's postwar Lieutenant Colonel’s epaulettes, several CDVs, a signed regimental history and various other ephemera. Completing the archive is a beautiful large escutcheon in hand written calligraphy with Attwood’s photo, promotions, battles, corps badges and references to the GAR & MOLLUS. CONDITION: The Foot Officer's sword has a blade with overall gray patina and darkened spots near the tip and at the ricasso. The hilt retains a few areas of original gilding. Quillon is very slightly bent. Grip is separated at the seam, likely from drying. Wire is complete. Scabbard mounts retain traces of original gilded finish. Tip has a few shallow dents. Engraving on top mount is a bit worn, but easily legible. Scabbard body is somewhat flexible with some evidence of minor flaking.

The extreme tip has very light pitting and there are a few tiny nicks to the edge of the blade. Hilt shows some traces of original gilding in protected areas. Hilt is a touch

Scabbard shows gilded brass clover leaf style mounts on a brown finished body. At some time in the past, this sword has had its hilt replaced. The hilt is obviously a product of Clauberg & the blade is by Roby. This may have been done to replace a broken hilt during the war or may have been done spuriously many years after. It is apparent the blade & hilt were not born together. CONDITION: blade is extraordinary showing substantial original factory polish.

CIVIL WAR 1860 SPENCER BREECHLOADING CARBINE.

Lot #3486 (Sale Order 536 of 841)

Cal. 52. S# 27835. This is a nice example of the most popular Civil War used carbine w/ over 90,000 purchased by the government. The Spencer was the first repeater rugged enough for military service. So formidable was its rapid fire that it was named the "horizontal shot tower" by the Confederates. The heavy casualties at Chickamauga inflicted by the Spencer rifles of Wilder's' brigade proved the value of the repeater in war. The many battlefield captures of Spencers by Confederates were often not used due to lack of cartridges. Copper was scarce in the South & one hundred percussion caps could be made from the metal required for one Spencer cartridge. Cavalry units from Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio & Massachusetts were equipped w/ Spencer carbines. This gun has an overall fine dark uncleaned patina w/ solid stocks w/ discernible cartouche. Standard configuration 22" bbl., marked on receiver flat "SPENCER REPEATING / RIFLE CO.

Lot #3493 (Sale Order 544 of 841)

PERCUSSION CARBINE. Cal. 50. S# 4498. For a gun that over 5,000 were made, this gun produced in early 1864 is hard to find as most saw hard use in the field. 4th Model improvements made cartridge insertion & withdrawal easier by a dbl. jointed breech action & a easily removable hinge bolt. A defect in the design of the dbl. jointed breech was soon identified. The breech block had first to be rotated forward & then the lever moved upward. Reversing the sequence resulted in dented or dislodged bullets. The problem was solved by the creation of a guide pin in the frame & a groove in the breech block which guided the breech block through the proper sequence making it impossible to utilize incorrectly.

RARE CIVIL WAR GREENE OVAL BORE RIFLE W/ RARE

Lot #3504 (Sale Order 555 of 841)

ORIGINAL GREENE BAYONET. Cal. 53. S# 3294.The Greene Rifle was the first bolt action breech loader in the American military that would become the norm 30 years later & well into the 20th century. This unique gun designed by Harvard graduate James Green in 1857 utilized an under hammer ignition system & oval bore. 36” Rnd. bbl., receiver marked “GREENE’S PATENT / NOV. 17, 1857”. The bolt had to be operated twice in order to load the gun. Pressing release button rear of bolt unlocked, allowing the handle to be rotated 90 degrees & the bolt drawn. This odd & time consuming operation using Greene patent cartridge meant that the first loading of the gun was really only a blank, as the bullet was behind the powder & wad, thus the first bullet did not fire until the second cartridge was loaded, placing powder & wad behind the bullet in the chamber. The open breech now allowed cartridge to be inserted & bolt now can be closed w/ projectile & powder in chamber. Now the ring hammer can be cocked & percussion cap placed on cone for firing. The oval bore is much like that of Charles Lancaster whose patent for rifles were already in production in Britain. The Greene rifle indeed is a unique part of Americans firearms history. Like his earlier produced carbine, his rifle was accepted in markets outside the United States but the high cost relative to that of a muzzle loading rifle or musket precluded only 900 of these rifles being purchased by the US Ordnance Department in 1863. Over 3000 rifles were sold to Russia & Egypt. An unknown small quantity of these guns were used by militia prior to contract as excavated projectiles have been found on the battlefield of Antietam. The Greene rifle utilized a unique designed angular bayonet w/ locking ring & slot cut at back of socket. This bayonet is surcharged “JDG” (James D. Greene). Bob Reilly in his definitive 1990 text “American Socket Bayonets & Scabbards” states that the Greene Rifle bayonet “is among the rarest of American bayonets”. Indeed, surviving rifles are encountered more often than the very rare bayonets. CONDITION: very good to fine overall. Bbl. & action retain 60-80% thinning dark dull blue finish, stock is sound & well fit w/ 4”x 1” inset on left side above triggerguard, storage & handling blemishes. Bayonet is equally very good w/ matching patina, light scattered pitting; leather scabbard is missing its tip. (01-16615/JS). ANTIQUE. $3,000-4,000.

Between September 1863 & August 1864, the Starr firm of Yonkers, New York produced over 20,000 of these sturdy weapons.

EXTREMELY RARE & UNIQUE RECONSTRUCTION ERA

Lot #3526 (Sale Order 580 of 841)

SOUTH CAROLINA "RED SHIRT" FLAG. 35" x 22" Blue silk w/ painted & embroidered design of "CONNER LIGHT DRAGOONS, AUG 4TH 1877". This is probably the only Reconstruction Era Southern militia flag extent. Little is known of the Conner Light Dragoons, but James Conner was a Confederate General on Wade Hampton's staff & at the time this flag was made, he was the Attorney General of the state of South Carolina. He was also at the heart of the plan for Democratic "Rifle Clubs" that were established throughout South Carolina to suppress the freed slaves political power by violence & any means necessary. Conner as Attorney General had just been able to construct the "Bargain of 1877" which removed federal troops (mostly black troops) from the state insuring Wade Hampton elected as Governor & insured Rutherford Hayes be elected President over Samuel Tilden. Most likely this flag would have been displayed in honor of the Attorney General in the new Wade Hampton lead South Carolina government. There were more than 300 white militia, on "Rifle Clubs" at this time, mostly made up with ex-Confederate battle hardened ex-soldiers. This relic of a "red shirt" militia group is a poignant reminder of the violent overthrow of reconstruction in the South. James Conner's papers are institutionalized at the South Carolina historical society & possibly a little research there could ascertain more history on this Reconstruction Era rarity. CONDITION: relatively fine for a silk 19th century flag. Silk embroidered Palmetto tree is very good as are the painted decorations w/ typical cracking & sm. losses. Fringes missing about 4" at the bottom of fly & bottom edge. Hoist edge is missing 1 of its eyelets. (02-12906/JS). $4,000-5,000.

RARE 19TH CENTURY REVENUE CUTTER FLAG.

Lot #3527 (Sale Order 581 of 841)

The Revenue Cutter service was enacted in 1790 by Alexander Hamilton, first known as Revenue Marine service & was the only armed maritime force pre dating the U.S. Navy by 8 years. This distinct flag was designed to distinguish it from merchant ships. Enforcing US import duties was & still is a most important component to American revenue. The Revenue Cutter Service became part of the US Coast Guard in 1915 & The Coast guard still refers to its largest vessels as “cutters”. 59" Hoist x 66" on fly. The canton measures 46 1/2" across & 30" tall. Flag is wool bunting, other than partially sewn through & dbl. appliqué applied blue eagle & 2.5” stars.

Lot #3555 (Sale Order 609 of 841)

SOLDIER IN THE 37TH WISCONSIN VOLUNTEERS. Camp hatchets, like other utilitarian objects, rarely survive as they were continued to be used after the war. This is only the 2nd complete contract marked camp hatchet I have seen. Emerson & Silver of Trenton, NJ delivered 2,000 camp hatchets to the U.S. Army in 1863. They also delivered 10,000 hatchet handles showing attrition rate of the wood. This wonderful relic has seen plenty of use but has a wonderful hand worn patina. The 4 1/4" head w/ 2 1/2" cutting edge, 14" overall is stamped w/ lg. "US" & their makers mark, though portions are obliterated from use of hammer end of hatchet. What makes this hatchet wonderful is that Private Payson Dunn personalized the handle w/ carved "P. D. Co. F 37. W. V. 1865". Payson Dunn is the only set of initials that match in this unit. Payson Dunn enlisted w/ the newly formed 37th Wisc. Inf. March 28, 1864 and participated in attack at “the Crater” July 30 sustaining over 150 casualties. The regiment saw further action around Petersburg till the war’s end. It would be difficult to find another impeccably identified Civil War camp hatchet. CONDITION: good overall. "As found" w/ iron patina, old sharpening to head, hand worn patina to haft w/ several age cracks. (02-13150/JS). $600-1,000.

PAIR OF FINE CIVIL WAR REGULATION BUGLES.

Lot #3660 (Sale Order 717 of 841)

Civil war bugles are quite scarce & any brass bugles seem to be sold as Civil War, but regulation Civil War bugles have 1 loop, were approx. 15-16" long & had brass garland on bell, brass reinforcements & have a "zippered" dovetailed seam in the body. Bugles were used for all branches of service, but were most associated w/ cavalry. both of these examples are in beautiful condition & would be difficult to upgrade of 2 different contractors. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: lg. file of research including Chris Nelson's Great 2003 North South Trader article "Collecting Civil War Bugles". Nelson in this article shows regulations & numerous examples including both of these types. 1) Maker marked "KLEM & BRO / PHILA". Klem provided 1,800 contract bugles during the Civil War. CONDITION: w/ exception of flattened bell which has opened the garland. This opening of the garland is quite common & though many collectors have this restored & resized, when this is done however; patina is lost. This bugle has matching mouthpiece & brass reinforcements w/ identical patina. 2) Copper bodied unmarked bugle w/ brass garland. This particular contractor seems to be one of the largest as most excavated bugles seem to be of this pattern & unmarked. CONDITION: very fine overall. Several sm. dents in copper body. Mouthpiece fits well, but appears to be a replacement, mostly like a cleaned excavated example as mouth pieces are difficult to find other than ones dug in Civil War camps & battle sites. It is amazing that this instrument survived so well as the bodies are so thin & it didn't take much to dent them. No doubt that is the reason so many excavated examples exist.

The saddlebags are identified to Lt. William Stoughton Pillsbury who served as an ordinance officer w/ the 1st New Hampshire Heavy Artillery. Survival on regulation 1859 McClellan saddlebags in the Civil War configuration are scarce as they continued service well into the Indian wars & in the 1870s the saddlebags were disassembled to make model 1872 brush & shoe pouches. Today there are fewer model 1859 saddlebags in any condition, than there are specimens of the saddles for which they were intended. Unlike this well preserved set, many seen today are usually missing the leather closing thongs of the inner pockets & the long easily damaged straps & buckles. The thin, single thickness seats are usually torn or heavily repaired. CONDITION: good to very good overall, complete including straps & buckles, there is a weak area of seat of saddlebags but they are still sound & display nicely. Crupper & cinch are complete & solid.

CONFEDERATE MORGAN MULEY SADDLE & SADDLE BAGS.

Lot #3665 (Sale Order 722 of 841)

A popular, early saddle in the areas of the central Confederacy & the trans-Mississippi theaters of war, this pattern was in common use before the Civil War. “Muley” was a derivative of the French word meaning w/out the horn. A significant number of the saddles were produced by sm., private contractors, saddleries & supplied to the Confederacy. All such saddles feature a low flattened cantle, a wide rising pommel & have quarter straps which place the girth attachment far forward of other designs of the day. The specimen has a number of classic Confederate period features. The saddle is covered w/ undyed leather. The construction of the tree is heavy oak instead of lighter woods found in commercial saddles. The underside of this saddle is lined w/ burlap instead of leather. The leather cantle covering is fastened to the tree w/ small course headed iron tacks instead of stitching typically found on commercial saddles. Saddlebags w/ “crow’s foot” sewn closure have been associated w/ the Shenandoah Valley manufacturer in the past. These bags are totally unmarked as most others. Fair to good overall, more recent repairs, indicating long usage after the war, were made using split rivets on top of the old riveted leather fragments. Saddle is missing one stir up & cover, quarter straps & complete covers for the fall were quarter straps. Saddlebags are sound & complete including buckles & billets. Leather is fairly supple w/ emollient coating. PROVENANCE: Herbert "Bert" Murch Collection. (02-12869/JS). $1,500-2,000.

HISTORIC PAINTING OF LIBBY PRISON RICHMOND,

Lot #3670 (Sale Order 727 of 841)

VIRGINIA. Frame measures 30" x 24". Sight size of painting is 23 1/2" x 17 1/2". Gilded wood & gesso frame is correct for the period. Painting shows a front & left side view of the infamous Libby Prison used to house Union officers captured by the Confederacy. The painting shows a Confederate flag flying high over the prison. The 3 story brick prison was formally a warehouse located on Tobacco Row near the James River in Richmond, VA. The warehouse became a hospital & prison in 1861 & in 1862 it became an officers only prison. There were 8 rooms measuring 103' x 42' w/ low ceilings. Prisoners were held on the 2nd & 3rd floors of the dank, crowded facility. Painting shows a somewhat unskilled folky hand & is signed in the lower left corner. The signature appears to read “R. Russell 99”. The signature would indicate the painting was done in 1899 depicting how the famous prison appeared during the Civil War. The clothing worn by the 2 pedestrians in the center of the painting on the lower edge is indicative of Civil War garb. The infamous building was moved to Chicago in 1889 & displayed at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. CONDITION: frame has a few sm. losses to the gesso. Painting shows significant age & could use a thorough professional cleaning. There is some minor inpainting not affecting important areas of the painting.
