PORTRAIT OF ADMIRAL MARIOT ARBUTHNOT, VICTOR OF THE 1781 BATTLE OF CAPE HENRY.

Lot #1023 (Sale Order 23 of 679)

JOHN RISING, RA (British, 1756-1815). “Portrait of Admiral Mariot Arbuthnot”, circa 1785. Oil on canvas, 30" x 25", within carved and gilded frame. Mariot Arbuthnot (1711-1794) was a British admiral who commanded the Royal Navy’s North American station during the American War for Independence. A native of Weymouth, England, Arbuthnot entered the Royal Navy in the late 1720s, became a lieutenant in 1739 and commander in 1746. That year, he captured 2 French privateers while in command of the HM Sloop Jamaica and was promoted to post captain in 1747. In 1759, he commanded HMS Portland during the decisive battle of Quiberon Bay, which established British naval supremacy and contributed to the fall of New France (Canada) to British forces. From 1775 to 1778, he was naval commissioner resident at Halifax and served as Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, 1776-1778. On 19 March 1779, he was named Vice Admiral of the Blue and later than year, appointed commander-in-chief on the American station. In December 1779, Arbuthnot conveyed the troops of Sir Henry Clinton to Charleston, South Carolina, and cooperated with him in laying siege to that city. On 26 September 1780 he was promoted to Vice Admiral of the White and in early March 1781, sailed his fleet out of New York in pursuit of a French one under Admiral Destouches that had sailed from Newport, Rhode Island to support American operations against the British expeditionary force in Virginia. Arbuthnot's fleet outsailed that of Destouches, reaching the Virginia Capes just ahead of Destouches on 16 March. After maneuvering for several hours, the battle was joined; both fleets suffered damage and casualties without losing any ships. However, Arbuthnot was positioned to enter the Chesapeake as the fleets disengaged, frustrating Destouches' objective. Destouches returned to Newport, while Arbuthnot successfully achieved the landing of 2000 reinforcements for the British under Major General Benedict Arnold before reembarking for New York and returning to England shortly thereafter. Aged and infirm, the 1781 campaign concluded Arbuthnot’s active naval career, although he advanced by seniority to become, on 1 February 1793, Admiral of the Blue and died in London the following year. John Rising was a successful portrait and subject painter who was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1785 until his death in 1815. Among many distinguished persons who sat to him were William Wilberforce, Lord Melville, Lord Nelson, and Sir William Blackstone. His portraits are pleasing in colour and executed with great truth and vigour; many of them have been engraved. Rising also painted various fancy and domestic subjects, such as ‘Juvenile Employment,’ ‘Ballad Singers,’ the ‘Sentimental Shepherd,’ and the ‘Infant Narcissus,’ some of which were mezzotinted by W. Ward, J. Jones, and others. Rising is said to have at one time assisted Sir Joshua Reynolds with the backgrounds of his pictures. CONDITION: Painting recently cleaned and revarnished by a professional conservator (report accompanies the painting) and mounted in a custom, reproduction frame; only a few minor, scattered spots of inpainting, mostly along edges of stretcher.

This is a scarce 1774 dated map of New England mounted on card stock and linen at the time for convenient folding by panels measuring about 6" by 10" and carry in a pocket or folio. The user added period brown ink title inscriptions on the reverse of the linen so as to appear on the front and back when folded into book form, reading "New England" on both sides, with addition of his intials "W.H.C." on one side. The map includes panels showing a plan of Boston Harbor "from an accurate survey" at lower right and a plan of the town of Boston at upper left, showing the layout of streets, etc. Both are telling inclusions given the revolutionary ferment taking place in the town at the time, with open warfare to break out in 1775. The title cartouche at lower right reads, "A Map of the most inhabited part New England containing the provinces of Massachusetts Bay and New Hampshire with the colonies of Conecticut [sic] and Rhode Island divided into counties and townships: the whole composed from actual surveys and its situation adjusted by astronomical observations." Below this is a vignette of pilgrims landing beside a rock reading "Plymouth / MDCXX" and being welcomed by an Indian and a woman attired as Columbia or Liberty with a hat on a pole looking suspiciously like a Liberty cap, which took on rather special significance in Boston starting in the 1760s. The map shows some coloring and covers part of New York west of the Hudson, including the Mohawk River and Sir William Johnson's hall. The maker's address line at the lower right border reads, "November 29th, 1774. Published according to act by Thos. Jefferys Geographer to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales near Charing Cross." CONDITION: Very good as mounted for contemporary use. The are minor stains to the linen, narrow paper losses along the fold lines and one or separation lines of the linen between the panels, but the map holds together and displays very well. It is very uncommon to find a contemporary map actually used on ship or land. The map would have special significance and importance during the early stages of the war, not only the period of Lexington and Concord, the fighting on Boston Harbor Islands, Bunker Hill and the siege of the town, but extending as it does over the New York border it would be significant for British campaigns along the Hudson and into the Mohawk Valley intended to sever New England from the other colonies well into 1777 and beyond.

EARLY REVOLUTIONARY WAR PERIOD UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE MAP DEPICTING PORTIONS OF NEW YORK CITY.

Lot #1026 (Sale Order 26 of 679)

Scarce and important map of New York City that was printed in Universal Magazine in 1776 shortly after the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. This magazine issue plan is considered to be the second earliest obtainable map of New York City. After the Revolutionary war commenced, there was renewed interest in the American colonies throughout Britain. Early in the war, the British experienced great success especially with their New York Campaign in which the Continental Army fled New York City. This map was issued as a result of the renewed interest of the American Colonies especially because of Britain's successful conquests thus far. The map illustrates the lower part of modern day Manhattan from around 14th street to the Battery. Also pictured are significant portions of Brooklyn which is just across the east river. There is also a legend that was a cut from the magazine and identifies points of interest around New York Island. CONDITION: The map exhibits scattered foxing and there is evidence of water damage, especially around the corners of the frame. The map exhibits slight fading and has yellowed over time. The frame is damaged and taped around the back as reinforcement. Despite the wear, this map is still a very significant piece of American history. Overall good. PROVENANCE: Ex-Lattimer Collection.

For an example of a nearly identical hilt, see plate 124.SS on page 345 of "Battle Weapons of the American Revolution" by George C. Neumann.

This mid-18th century example features a straight unfullered single-edged blade. The iron basket hilt has round and triangular piercings on each panel, bottom panel engraved "I / No. I".

AMERICAN PARADE HALBERD IN THE GERMAN STYLE

Lot #1032 (Sale Order 32 of 679)

Late parade halberd in the German style, most likely American. By the outbreak of the American Revolution, the halberd was being used as both a defensive weapon and a symbol of rank, especially for Sergeants. This example was too late for the Revolution, but was most likely used for parades. The construction asserts this, as the halberd is composed of 2 pieces: the point, and the blade and beak. The point is screwed into place and the blade and beak are loosely held in place by iron wires. The blade and beak feature German style decorations including crosses while the hearts are a more American feature. The halberd is also marked with what appears to be a museum number which reads "P11". The blade measures 8 - 1/2" and the point measures 10". The halberd has both of its original iron straps which secure the blade to the wood haft with six iron nails on each side. The halberd measures 89" overall and ends with a spike base. CONDITION: The blade, beak, and point all exhibit delamination marks that are consistent with hand forging. There are also areas of scattered pitting and light surface rust. The haft exhibits handling marks but remains sturdy. Overall good. PROVENANCE: John K. Lattimer Collection. JLD Blade Length: 20" Overall Length: 89"

U.S. NAVY USS CONSTITUTION QUARTER PIKE.

Lot #1034 (Sale Order 34 of 679)

Once deemed the "rarest type of naval boarding pikes" this example of a boarding Pike, is the so-called "quarter pike". These pikes first appeared on a 1797 dated document of ordnance allowance which described "100 boarding or quarter pikes" for the USS Constitution. These pikes appear again on pages 143-144 of the book "American Polearms, 1526-1865" by H. Rodney Brown as well as a pictorial appearance in a lithograph that was featured in Maclay's "Naval History of the United States Navy (1898). There has been much dispute over the authenticity of these quarter pikes, but it is now known that these polearms were fabricated in the twentieth century and their appearance was based on 18th century records. Although the USS Constitution was outfitted with 100 boarding pikes including these so called quarter pikes, none are known to have survived. These quarter pikes were made famous in the 1920s when the USS Constitution was being restored. Although the exact representation of the quarter pike is conjectural, these pikes still reflect the appearance of eighteenth century short boarding pike. This example features a flat double edged blade that measures approximately 8 - 1/4" with an iron ferrule. The blade is secured to the wood shaft that measures 28 - 1/2" inches long by 2 iron languets which are fastened to the shaft by screws. The screws have all been filed down and are hard to see. The blade is marked with the inventory number "420" above the initials "JKL" denoting that this piece is from the John K. Lattimer collection. CONDITION: The blade and iron components exhibit an attractive gray patina with scattered pitting throughout. There are file marks on the languets. Overall good. Despite their controversial history, these pikes still hold value and have been adopted as collectible polearms. JLD Blade Length: 8" Overall Length: 36 - 7/8"

In August he was in the battle of Grand Port at Mauritius, resulting in the destruction of the Sirius, was present when Mauritius fell in December, and “brought to England” (presumably as temporary commander, but at least as crew member) the prize ship La Manche.

In 1814 he was with Cochrane’s fleet in the attack on Baltimore, which puts him on the scene for the bombardment of Fort McHenry and the composition of the Star-Spangled Banner. He was subsequently wounded and captured in December during another cutting-out affair on the Potomac. He was freed with the declaration of peace shortly afterward and in March 1815 promoted to lieutenant.

LOT OF 2 WHALING HARPOONS.

Lot #1078 (Sale Order 78 of 679)

During the middle of the 19th century, inventors were struggling with how to circumvent some of the issues with whaling, including trying to combat a particularly resilient whale (especially in poor weather), penetration of the blubber, and trying to close the distance to a whale. Early firearms were employed, but the whale would quickly sink and the whole harvest would be lost, leaving the age old default of a barb and a killing lance the long preferred method until the advent of the bomb lance was perfected, where it became the preferred method of whale hunting. Lot consists of a pair of bomb lances, (A) of Christopher Brand's improved patent with tri-blade head as developed by Oliver Allen and sold to Christopher Brand, (B) is of the Pierce design with 4 fins and lacking a harpoon head. CONDITION: Very good. (A) has acquired a smooth chocolate patina with some flashes of black enameling present, and still has a heavily faded label reading "C. BRAND / IMPROVED BOMB LANCE / PAT. June 22nd 1852". Pierce lance has non factory labels from display and is missing the harpoon head and has a chip missing at top but brass has a rich, untampered with mustard appearance.

Lot #1079 (Sale Order 79 of 679)

Circa mid-late 19th century wood cannon. The style of cannon and mount would suggest that this piece could be earlier, but due to the construction this piece was most likely crafted in the mid 1800s. The cannon features four functioning wheels with domed, slotted screws holding each wheel in place. The wood trunnions end with a metal washer and a domed, slotted screw and are held in place by metal straps, each one is secured by 7 flat, slotted screws. Once decorated with paint, the cannon is now devoid of color and only exhibits faint evidence of the once applied paint which is flaking from the sides and wheels. This cannon most likely sat in a GAR hall after the Civil War and was used as a display piece. CONDITION: The wood exhibits various cracks and blemishes but remains sturdy. The last remnants of paint are cracked and the colors have faded. The wheels function properly. Overall good. JLD Serial Number: NSN

(A) ROGERS & SPENCER ARMY MODEL PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

Lot #1108 (Sale Order 108 of 679)

The Rogers & Spencer Army Model revolver was built in Willow Dale, New York in 1865 only with a total quantity estimated at 5,800. The United States Ordnance contracted for 5,000 revolvers in November 1864. 1,500 had been delivered by the end of April 1865, with the balance delivered in September of 1865. The Civil War officially ended on May 13th, 1865; less than a month after the order was delivered, as such there are no records indicating any issue of this revolver during the war. Francis Bannerman of New York acquired almost the entire lot at government sale and offered them to collectors through their catalog for many years. It is also the reason why the majority of examples found never saw any use, which is the case with this revolver. If you've never handled one, the quality and finish is second to none. The bluing is like that of the early Colts and almost fire polish blue topped only by the nitre blue small screws, with the hammer and loading lever case colored and sporting a pair of near mint flared base walnut grips. The left grip has the inspector stamp "RPB" for Robert P. Beals who inspected the entire shipment. Gun features heavy full octagon barrel, closed top, six shot, single action. Top of the frame is stamped "ROGERS & SPENCER UTICA NY". Military inspector stamp "B" is found on the side of barrel and frame on both left and right side, along with a "P" on right side of loading lever. There is a "B" stamped on the cylinder. "XP" stamp near trigger guard. Base of both grips is stamped "B" as well as a "B" on the bottom of grip frame. CONDITION: There are a couple small flakes off cylinder that are soft patina and a light drag line. Revolver retains 98% of the original high polish factory blue. Near mint bore. About as fine a condition as you could find for one of these revolvers. From the G. Thomas Puett Collection.

(A) MODEL 1854 PINFIRE REVOLVER MARKED F.S. BARTOW, COLONEL 8TH GEORGIA, KIA BULL RUN

Lot #1177 (Sale Order 177 of 679)

Francis Stebbins Bartow was born in 1816 and was a Georgia attorney and politician who served in the state House of Representatives and the state Senate. A fervent secessionist, he led the seizure of Fort Pulaski from the U.S. government, voted to leave the Union as a delegate to the state’s Secession Convention, and was briefly chairman of the Military Committee of Confederate States Provisional Congress at Montgomery. He took his militia company, the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, to Richmond in order to join the Confederate service in violation of Governor Brown’s wishes to retain the state’s control of its forces, and was joined there by other Georgia militia units acting on their own, which were formed into the 8th Georgia Infantry under his command. Posted first in the Shenandoah, Bartow joined Beauregard’s forces at Manassas in June, and was given a brigade command, leading the 7th and 8th Georgia into battle on July 21. During the battle his horse was shot out from under him and he continued to rally his men. While continuing to encourage his men forward, he reportedly yelled “Follow me boys!” and was struck by a bullet. He was killed in action shortly after receiving this wound while reportedly saying, “Boys, they have killed me, but never give up the field.” He was the first Confederate brigade commander killed in battle, though still a Colonel. This 1854 pattern Brevete Lefaucheux patent 12mm pinfire revolver is stamped on the backstrap “F.S. Bartow” in small block letters matching stamps used by Samuel Sutherland in marking guns sold through his Richmond firearms and military goods establishment. He advertised as both “manufacturer and importer of fire-arms,” starting in business at least by 1845, expanding into cutlery and then into a variety of military goods during the Civil War, after which he changed into a more general “hardware merchant.” (See Bazelon, Vol. 2.) A Sutherland company marked example dated “circa 1861,” sold at Christies in 1998, supporting not only Sutherland’s sale of the pattern, but its 1860 date with serial number 6953. These pinfire revolvers were made exclusively for the Spanish Army in a state factory located in Oviedo Spain. The revolver is dated 1860 on top of the barrel and marked JRL on the left side of the frame. The Spanish Army had made this their official revolver and very few were exported to the south or Union Army. Sutherland knew that Colts wouldn't be available when the war started and ordered this revolver probably as a sample for customers. The gun is accompanied by a binder of research which includes copies of Bartow’s military records and research pertaining to Samuel Sutherland stamping patterns. CONDITION: Good, with virtually all of the original finishes turned an even chocolate patina with wear at high edges and handling marks throughout. Grips are strong with no major signs of distress. Action needs attention as hammer will not fully cock. Bore is frosted with well-defined rifling.

PRESENTATION COLT 1862 POCKET POLICE OF CAPTAIN ANDREW P. CARAHER 28TH MASSACHUSETTES IRISH BRIGADE,

Lot #1178 (Sale Order 178 of 679)

Andrew Patrick Caraher had more than twenty years of army service. Born in Ireland, he was a 32 year-old manufacturer when commissioned Captain in the 28th Massachusetts, an Irish regiment, on October 8, 1861. The unit served under Burnside on the Carolina coast, joining the Army of the Potomac in the 9th Corps in mid-1862. Caraher was in command of the regiment for the Maryland campaign of 1862 and at Antietam. In November 1862 he was promoted to major and the regiment joined Meagher’s Irish Brigade. For a time, Caraher served as Meagher’s aide-de-camp, and suffered a concussion from a shell fragment in the disastrous bloody charge on Marye’s Heights at Fredericksburg, where Union forces were constantly repulsed by the Confederate Army resulting in high casualties and a Union retreat. Caraher received a post-War brevet to captain for gallant and meritorious service in the battle. He returned from sick leave in April 1863 and was marked present on the rolls for June and July 1863 and after the war received a second brevet to major for “gallant and meritorious service in the Battle of Gettysburg,” where the regiment fought in the Wheatfield, a field contaminated with smoke, blood, and the final battle for General Samuel Zook who was mortally wounded in the fighting. He was compelled to take a sick leave on July 31 from the effects of his old wound and was transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps as Major and Lt. Colonel, reportedly being captured on his way to Chicago and was taken to Libby Prison before being exchanged for a Confederate Major. Caraher would later become the commandant of Camp Douglas prison in Chicago. He was subsequently commissioned Colonel in the U.S. Volunteers and was tasked with organizing the 2nd and 3rd U.S. Volunteers and posted to Fort Riley, Kansas, a post in which he commanded for a time. He mustered out of the US Volunteers in late 1865 and the Veteran Reserve Corps in 1867, having taken a commission as First Lieutenant in the 43rd US Infantry, with transfers to the 1st Infantry and then to the 8th Cavalry in 1870, where he was promoted to Captain in 1872. True to his calling as a soldier, he died in the saddle while on patrol near Langtry, Texas, in 1885 during the campaign against Geronimo. Caraher was a true fighting Irishman who served an impressive military career, experiencing battles such as Gettysburg and Fredericksburg, brevets, wounds, time as a Prisoner of War, serving in a regiment which ranked 7th in losses for all Union regiments in the Civil War, and finally giving his life during the Indian Wars. Caraher’s Colt 1862 Police is worn, much like an old soldier who has fought in many battles. The presentation is on the backstrap and reads “Presented to Capt. A.P. Caraher” and continues on the butt which appears to read "Boston Dec. 14th 1861.” The revolver itself is an 1861 vintage Colt 1862 Pocket Police percussion revolver, serial number 8305. 6 – 1/2” round barrel in .36 caliber with Colt New York barrel address, cone front sight, and hammer notch rear. Fluted 5 shot cylinder. 1 piece plain walnut grips. CONDITION: Fair, with virtually all of the original finishes turned an untouched heavy brown patina with consistent heavy storage and handling marks throughout. Brass is turned a pleasing mellow patina with darkness at high edges, but inscriptions remain mostly legible. Grips are good, with age related darkness throughout from handling, crack through right grip panel, and are shy to front strap. Action needs attention as hammer has no spring pressure and cylinder doesn’t advance when hammer is pulled rearward. Bore is dark. The revolver is accompanied by a comprehensive binder of research that details Caraher's service as well as the 28th Massachusetts.

Lot #1187 (Sale Order 187 of 679)

The Model 1840 cavalry saber, commonly referred to as the Model 1840 "Wristbreaker” was one of the most well used cavalry sabers by the United States mounted forces in the years leading up to, and throughout the Civil War. This particular example was produced by Ames and is complete with its scabbard and a Pattern 1841 Dragoon saber belt. The blade is plain and devoid of decoration only being marked by the maker on either side the ricasso. The obverse ricasso is marked "AMES MFG. CO. / CABOTVILLE / 1849" and US / WD" on the reverse ricasso. The blade ends at a heavy brass guard which is followed by a grooved wood handle that is covered in brown leather wrapped with double twisted brass wire that fits nicely in the grooves. The length of the saber ends in a domed brass pommel which is marked "WD / J.W.R.". The hefty iron scabbard is equally plain and features two ring mounts which are held by a fine example of a Pattern 1841 Dragoon saber belt. The belt is nearly complete with the original brass parade hook and brass finals on the saber straps but is missing the cross strap. The age of the brass, leather, and stitching are all consistent.

Vey nice example of Confederate foot officer's sword complete with scabbard that was manufactured by Louis Froelich. The 33" blade is classically Confederate and features an unstopped double fuller with signs of slight casting flaws. Like most Confederate makers, Froelich’s sources for brass, iron, and steel varied in quality. The guard features typical floral scrolls and a cast and chased shield that contains the letters "CS". The reverse of the guard, directly under the shield features the letters "LF" for Louis Froelich. Following the guard is the grooved, center-swelled wooden handle that is wrapped with leather and held together with braided brass wire. More foliate scrolls lead to the angled, domed pommel which exhibits evidence of the varying quality of brass through the dark red spots. The sword is complete with the leather scabbard. The scabbard body is excellent in its black color and finish along with its tight seam. The scabbard features 2 brass mounts which are identical to those that are encountered on other Louis Froelich scabbards, one example is featured in the book "Louis Froelich Arms-Maker to the Confederacy" on page 44. The mounts and drag are gilded or gold painted and show evidence that this sword was perhaps hanging in a GAR post after the war.

CONFEDERATE CIVIL WAR FOOT OFFICER SWORD.

Lot #1189 (Sale Order 189 of 679)

Nice example of Confederate foot officer's sword complete with its leather scabbard. The 29" blade features an unstopped fuller with signs of slight casting flaws. This example is unmarked but the blade is similar to those found on Dufilho swords. Like most confederate makers, sources for brass, iron, and steel varied in quality which is evidenced through the discolored brass guard that exhibits a dark reddish brown hue. The guard features typical floral scrolls which are often encountered on foot officer swords. Following the guard is the grooved, center-swelled wooden handle that is wrapped with leather and held together with braided brass wire. More foliate scrolls follow the handle and lead to the domed pommel. The sword is complete with its original leather scabbard. The scabbard features 2 brass mounts which are similar to the mounts on Dufilho scabbards, as well as a brass drag. CONDITION: The bade exhibits a pleasant dark gray patina with areas of pitting and surface rust. About 1/16" of the tip is rounded.

The scabbard exhibits flaking, cracking and areas of leather loss but remains flexible. Both of the mounts are loose and slide on the scabbard. The lower mount is missing the nail that would hold the mount in place. The drag is also missing the nail and will slide off of the scabbard. It appears that it was once reattached, as there is evidence of glue under the drag. The brass components of the scabbard have darkened with age. This is a very nice example of an honest confederate foot officer's sword. Overall good. JLD Blade Length: 29" Overall Length: 34 - 3/4"

SCARCE CONFEDERATE HAIMAN BROTHERS CAVALRY SABER WITH SCABBARD.

Lot #1190 (Sale Order 190 of 679)

Classic example of a Louis Haiman & Brothers cavalry saber. Patterned after the U.S. Model 1840 Cavalry Saber, the Haiman Brothers' version did not quite meet the quality standards of its pre-War counterpart. These sabers were known to have casting flaws on the ricasso near the tang, the grips were wrapped with black painted oil cloth instead of the superior leather, and a single strand of iron wire was wrapped around the grips instead of brass which are found on northern counterparts. Like most existing examples of these sabers, this example is unmarked. The unadorned blade is met by a heavy brass guard. The grip features a grooved, center-swelled wooden handle wrapped in black painted oil cloth. The cloth is secured to the grip with brass wire that fits neatly in the grooves of the handle. The handle is followed by a domed pommel. The saber is complete with its original scabbard. The scabbard correctly features and iron drag, throat, and rings which are secured to the scabbard by brass mounts. The expected crude seam is present running the length of the scabbard. CONDITION: Surprisingly, the blade does not exhibit significant forging flaws, which are commonly encountered on these sabers. However the blade does exhibit a pleasant dark gray patina with pitting throughout. There are several chips along the edge. The crude guard exhibits marks from use. The grip exhibits loss of the oil cloth covering and the wood is exposed, especially at the top. The iron wire has loosened over time. This is a fine example of a rare Confederate Haiman & Brothers cavalry saber complete with its original scabbard. Overall good. JLD Blade Length: 34 - 3/4" Overall Length: 40 - 1/2"

DESIRABLE CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE CLOVERLEAF PIKE.

Lot #1191 (Sale Order 191 of 679)

Unmarked Civil War Confederate cloverleaf pike on shortened haft. Cloverleaf pikes like this unmarked example are known to have been manufactured in Georgia after the outbreak of the Civil War. Some of the notable manufacturers are Stevens, McElroy, and Griswold. During the Civil War, Georgia militia troops were armed with these pikes which could be used as lances or for cutting the bridles of enemy cavalry, although few saw combat. This example features the correct pike head that is composed of three double edged blades. The center blade is in the shape of a peach leaf, and measures approximately 10" long. Flanking the center blade on either side are two blades that measure 3" from tip to center. The pike head is secured in place by a metal ferrule with two wrought iron languets that are held in place by three rivets on each side. The languets appear to have a japanned finish, and the upper portion of the shaft was painted black. These pikes were manufactured with a 6 foot shaft, however this example was shortened at some point and the shaft measures 19" from the top of the ferrule to the bottom. CONDITION: The blade has grayed with age and in some light exhibits an attractive chocolate patina. The edges remain sharp and there is scattered pitting throughout. The shaft remains sturdy and exhibits typical wear. This pike was once part of the renowned John K. Lattimer collection. Overall good. JLD Blade Length: 10" Overall Length: 29"

CIVIL WAR EXCAVATED CONFEDERATE BRIDLE CUTTER PIKE.

Lot #1192 (Sale Order 192 of 679)

This bridle cutter pike was aboard a Confederate munitions train sent out of Charleston in April 1865 on the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, where it was intercepted, set on fire, and destroyed by Union forces. The incident is recorded on the Official Records, and the site was located and excavated in 1980. Pikes of various designs were rushed into production early in the war as a quick way of arming the populace and soldiers not yet issued firearms. The bridle-cutter design features a hooked blade in addition to a spearpoint, to enable the user either to hook and drag a mounted opponent from his saddle or at least snag or cut his reins, making him lose control of his horse.

BATTLE DAMAGED PRESENTATION SWORD OF CAPTAIN RODNEY B. NEWKIRK 120TH NEW YORK.

Lot #1193 (Sale Order 193 of 679)

Engraved inside the hilt "Capt R.B. Newkirk", this is likely the sword recorded in the regimental history as presented to Captain Rodney B. Newkirk on November 19, 1864, by the members of Company B, 120th New York and mentioned along with another presentation ten days earlier: “The presentation in both cases was made by Lieutenant-Colonel Tappen in brief and appropriate terms, to which the recipients of the swords made fitting replies. The soldiers were much interested in the ceremonies, expressing their good wishes for the officers thus honored, whose merits and character had commended them as deserving of this distinction.” Known also as the Ulster Regiment and the Washington Guards, the 120th New York was organized in Ulster County in August 1862. The then civilian Rodney Newkirk was a 24 year old clerk who was living at home when he decided to enlist in the Army on August 6, 1862. He was commissioned as a first lieutenant of Company B in September with rank effective from August 12, he was actually in command of the company by January 1, 1863. Newkirk was promoted to Captain, commissioned May 1863 with rank from April 13, when the previous company commander was discharged for disability. The regiment served in the Army of the Potomac, 3rd Corps and 2nd Corps, losing 11 officers and 141 enlisted men just in killed or mortally wounded in battles that included Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, with the loss of 66 men. After the fighting at Chancellorsville, Newkirk was court martialed for drunkenness on duty May 5, 1863 and sentenced to be cashiered. However the sentence was remitted on recommendation of the court, the division commander, and the major general commanding Army of the Potomac and he was returned to duty. This decision to remit would benefit the regiment, as Newkirk would later distinguish himself in battle. Other engagements included Gettysburg, where the unit lost 204 out of 427 men engaged, James City, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Totopotomoy, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Strawberry Plains, Deep Bottom, Poplar Springs Church, Boydton Plank Road (twice,) Hatcher’s Run, White Oak Road, Amelia Springs, Farmville, and Appomattox. Newkirk is mentioned in a November 7, 1864 report for his actions of repelling the enemy during a battle at Fort Morton. On November 5, 1864, Newkirk and the men of the 120th Regiment were part of a defensive picket line that extended from Fort Morton to Fort Meikel under the command of Colonel R. McAllister, 11th New Jersey Volunteers. During the battle, the 120th Regiment was overtaken by the charging rebels, but due to Newkirk's swift leadership, the 120th was able to recover the line. "A part of the One hundred and twentieth New York gave way, being unable to fire but one volley. They rallied again and and retook a portion of their lost posts" After retaking their lost ground, Newkirk was able to rally his men and aid in a counterattack that was organized by Colonel McAllister. "I then sent two companies from the One hundred and twentieth New York Volunteers to report to these officers, and they fought with the others hand to hand across the pits with brave determination and gallantry...I take great pleasure in mentioning the following officers as having borne a conspicuous part in the re-establishment of our line: Capt. Rodney B. Newkirk..." It was not a bad day for the Captain who was almost court martialed. Newkirk would continue to fight till the end of the war, but his life was permanently altered on March 25, 1865, the final day of the Siege of Petersburg. Several pension and medical documents state "That while in the service of the United States he received a gun shot wound in the left hand while in battle on the 25th day of March 1865 at Hatcher's Run in the state of Virginia." Newspapers indicated he was severely wounded in the left arm, but apparently recovered sufficiently to rejoin the regiment in time for muster out and return home in June 1865. Muster roll abstracts show him as present other than an absence in December 1863 and brief assignment as brigade inspector in October 1864. However according to pension documents, it appears as though Newkirk did not fully recover and was permanently disabled. The wound is described as "a gun shot wound in the left hand...the ball passing in hand between thumb and forefinger thence in an oblique direction through hand aforesaid and cut out near the wrist bone" Other documents indicate that Newkirk suffered from paralysis and his hand was paralyzed. The damage to the blade of his sword is certainly battle damage from a bullet or shell fragment and likely dates to the Battle of Hatcher’s Run, where Newkirk was recorded as severely wounded in the left arm.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION GRADE SWORD ATTRIBUTED TO LT. COL. LATHROP BALDWIN 107TH NEW YORK VOLUNTEE

Lot #1194 (Sale Order 194 of 679)

Excellent example of an identified Civil War presentation grade sword that is attributed to Lieutenant Colonel Lathrop Baldwin. The saga of Baldwin's military service begins on July 24, 1862 when the then 32 year old newspaper editor enrolled for three years service at Elmira, New York. Baldwin was mustered in as a Captain in Company B, 107th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Throughout his service, Baldwin would be promoted several times, as he was commissioned as a Major on October 15, 1863 and mustered in as such on November 1, 1863 and later commissioned as a Lieutenant Colonel on July 9, 1864 and mustered in as such on July 20, 1864, which would be a fateful day for the young officer. Baldwin and the men of the 107th New York Volunteer Infantry would see heavy combat throughout the war. The regiment was hard fought and began its service when it was officially organized on August 13, 1862. The 107th started its campaign by arriving in Washington on August 15, 1862, and marched through the city into Virginia where they camped and trained in several forts that guarded Washington DC. While being attached to the 12th Army Corps, the regiment began its long hard march north to Antietam on September 6, 1862. The regiment saw its first action at Antietam, losing 63 men on what would be known as the bloodiest day of the war. Following a long winter of guarding against Confederate incursions along the Potomac River, the 107th participated in the battle of Chancellorsville where the regiment lost 83 men. Not long after Chancellorsville, they marched up to Pennsylvania where Baldwin and the men of the 107th would come face to face with Robert E. Lee and his army of rebels at Gettysburg. The 107th was involved in repulsing the Confederate charge against Culp’s Hill and only suffered light casualties. After the Union victory at Gettysburg, the regiment was reassigned and sent to Tennessee for more picket duty, this time guarding railroads during the winter of 1863-64. Early in 1864, the 12th Army Corps was consolidated with the 11th Army Corps and established the 20th Army Crops under the command of William Tecumseh Sherman in order to form a 100,000 man strong army. The 107th Regiment was only a small portion of this grand army, but Baldwin commanded his men and fought hard in the many skirmishes and battles on their way to Atlanta. It would be during this campaign that Baldwin would sacrifice everything in the service of his country. On July 20, 1864, the day Baldwin’s commission as Lieutenant Colonel was being signed, the regiment was among the Union forces who crossed Peachtree Creek and were able to erect a line of field works before being attacked. The 107th came under intense fire and was struggling to retain their position. During the relentless volley fire, Baldwin continuously rallied and organized his men in order to maintain uniformity in the ranks and hold the fluctuating Union line. Captain H.G. Brigham recalled that Baldwin was in charge of a skirmish line that had been driven back, but Baldwin remained, “firing at the enemy, and in this position was pierced through the eye with a bullet.” He died of the wound ten days later at Chattanooga. Baldwin displayed the exemplary actions of a model officer. He lead his men into battle, exhibited calmness and organization under heavy fire, and continued to fight until he was struck down among the ranks his loyal soldiers who followed him through the war. Baldwin's sacrifice was not in vain, as the Union would see Victory in Georgia with the complete destruction of Hood's army. His actions would not go unnoticed. After the war, Baldwin was buried at Elmira, where a G.A.R. post was later named in his honor, a true testament to devoted leader. Baldwin's legacy is preserved through his presentation grade staff and field officer's sword. The lightly curved blade features bold and elegant decorative etchings on both sides. The obverse features a spread winged federal eagle, graceful scrollwork, patriotic bunting, and other beautifully etched designs. The reverse mirrors the obverse, with the letters "U.S." replacing the eagle. The designs are halted at the ricasso, the obverse being marked “Schuler Hartley / Graham / New York” while the reverse is marked “Clauberg / Solingen”. The style continues with the half-basket hilt which is of cast brass and adorned with open scrollwork, a large eagle in flight carrying a long banner on the counterguard that reads "E Pluribus Unum" and the letters “US” which are superimposed on the knucklebow.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF CAPTAIN JOEL H. TARBELL, LAFAYETTE ARTILLERY

Lot #1195 (Sale Order 195 of 679)

Superb example of a Civil War presentation grade sword that is inscribed to Captain Joel Harrison Tarbell. He was born in 1816 and lived a busy life working as a famer, hotel-keeper, and store-keeper when he became the twenty-fourth captain of the Lafayette Artillery Company, serving as such from 1850 to 1865. Organized in 1804 at Peterborough, the company was attached to the 22nd Regiment, headquartered at Lyndeborough from 1833, and formally designated the Lafayette Artillery in 1837. During the Civil War, the Lafayette Artillery Company of the New Hampshire Militia was mustered into U.S. service for ninety days garrison duty at Fort Constitution at New Castle, NH where the unit guarded Portsmouth harbor on August 1, 1864 and served until mustering out on September 23, 1864. The sword was made by Hamilton Ruddick of Boston, a sword manufacturer and machinist in Boston from 1863-1865 and the upper mount is inscribed, “Pres’d to Capt. / J.H. Tarbell / by L. Arty. Co. / Sept. 26 1864.” Given the date of the presentation, the sword was a gift of appreciation to their Captain upon their return home. Tarbell's sword is elegant, and is fitting as a gift of appreciation. The blade features bold, decorative etchings on both sides. The obverse features a foliate scene comprised of red oak leaves and acorns followed by a bundle of military arms and armor topped with a coiled American flag. Below the arms, is a spread winged federal eagle with 13 stars between the wing tips, that is perched above another foliate scene of a twisting grape vine.

Below the arms, are the letters "US" followed by a floral motif of budding roses. Below the etched designs is the maker mark "H. Ruddick / Boston" which was nicely etched on the ricasso. The elegance continues with the French style cast brass guard which features an eagle perched on a patriotic shield in front of a stand of flags in the shape of a fan. Below the guard is a grooved wood grip wrapped with leather and bound with brass wire that is highlighted with a backstrap that features more foliate motifs.

The upper mount features an eagle perched on a bundle of arrows on the reverse of the inscription. The center mount exhibits the same decorations on each side and the drag features a drum over top of a bundle of arms on the obverse and a shield on the reverse, both of which are flanked by scrollwork. The sword is complete with its case which is constructed of wood wrapped with leather. The case is wonderfully lined with blue velvet and the sword fits perfectly inside. CONDITION: The blade remains bright with nearly unmolested decorations. There are slight blemishes especially towards the tip which do not alter the overall appearance. The brass guard remains bright and the leather only exhibits slight blemishes as the brass wire remains tightly wrapped to the grip. The brass components remain bright on both the sword and scabbard. The leather scabbard is in excellent condition and only exhibits slight blemishes. Many of these scabbards are cracked or broken while this example remains nearly untouched. The mounts remain tight. There is significant leather loss to the case, and there are several pieces that are continuing to separate from the wood. The blue lining exhibits scattered stains and tears but remains intact overall. This is a wonderful set that was well taken care of by a proud officer. Overall excellent.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION GRADE FOOT OFFICER'S SWORD OF LIEUTENANT ARTHUR L. CONGER, 115TH OHIO VOLU

Lot #1196 (Sale Order 196 of 679)

Arthur Latham Conger was born on February 19, 1838 in Boston, Summit County, Ohio. He spent his childhood years on a farm that was owned by his parents and received a meager education in rural schools in his county. While he was still a boy, he started supporting himself by working in a brick yard earning ten cents per day. He also worked on canal boats. Arthur was a boy who craved education, and since he was depraved of proper education facilities, he made up for this small setback by being persistent and studied at home during moments of leisure. These early years of hard work prepared him for his future military and business career, a bright future in which Conger would significantly establish himself. When the Civil War broke out, he enlisted as a private in the 115th Ohio Volunteer Infantry on July 24, 1862. By this point, he was 24 years-old with the civilian occupation of school teacher, which was fitting for Conger, who had a passion for education. His position as a teacher qualified him as an eligible bachelor and for a quick promotion to First Lieutenant as of August 21, 1862. He was mustered into Company G, 115th Ohio, on September 18, 1862 and then detached for staff duty as Acting Assistant Adjutant to General Ammen on November 20, 1862 and served largely in the Army and Department of Ohio and Cumberland, paralleling the service of the regiment. Records show him as assigned as Provost Marshal in Newport, Kentucky on June 11, 1863, and by late 1864 he is posted in Nashville as Acting Inspector of Railroad Defenses for the Department of the Cumberland. Near Chattanooga much of the regiment was mounted and sent into the countryside to combat guerrillas then infesting the landscape between Nashville and Tullahoma, while the remainder was stationed in the extremely dangerous but vitally important service of defending the blockhouses along the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. The blockhouses, designed for siege warfare were constantly under attack from Confederate forces led by Generals Joe Wheeler and Nathan Bedford Forrest. By December 1864, the 115th Ohio had suffered many casualties, including men killed, wounded, and over 200 men captured. Like the regiment, Conger seems to have been dealing with manning blockhouses, repairing tracks, and fighting off Confederate cavalry and raiders along the line of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad throughout 1864 and to the end of the war. Conger’s knowledge and experience in siege warfare and material distribution drew the attention of General George H. Thomas, better known as “The Rock of Chickamauga”, during the latter phase of the war thus earning him the position of Assistant Inspector of Railroad Defenses under the renowned engineer Captain James R. Willett. The final piece of wartime history for the 115th Ohio occurred after Lee had surrendered at Appomattox. On April 27, 1865, the regiment’s eighty surviving prisoners from Andersonville were placed on the steamer Sultana, which exploded on the Mississippi River, killing everyone on board. On a more positive note, Conger had married in 1864, mustered out of the Army June 22, 1865 at Murfreesboro, where he briefly returned to farming back in Ohio, and moved to Akron by 1868. After the war, Conger’s career skyrocketed. His administrative abilities excelled as he worked his way up in a manufacturing company from salesman to president, holding interests in several businesses. In 1866, he was elected as Treasurer of Summit County. He was then appointed Director of Whiteman and Barnes Manufacturing Company, organized the Diamond Plate Glass Company, organized the Plate Glass Trust, built the Zanesville Street Railroad, was one of the organizers of the American Harvesting Machine Company, was the primary promoter of the Pittsburg and Akron Railroad, was the director of the Cleveland, Akron and Columbus Railroad, was the founder of the S.S. Still College of Osteopathy, became the editor for the magazine of the Cosmopolitan Osteopathy, and was the President of the Akron Charity Association. He remained heavily involved with military and fraternal organizations and was commissioned as Colonel of the 8th Regiment of the Ohio National Guard in 1884, Department Commander of the Ohio GAR in 1886, and a member of the Loyal Legion of the United States. Conger was a lifelong member of the Loyal Legion of the United States as well as a lifelong member of masonic orders and held a Knights Templar Degree. Click here to see the full description.

US CIVIL WAR AMES PRESENTATION SWORD OF CAPTAIN ALANSON D. GASTON, 26TH IOWA INFANTRY

Lot #1197 (Sale Order 197 of 679)

A native of Lyons, New York, Alanson Dunning Gaston enlisted in the Army on September 2, 1861 a the young age of 22. He began his service as the Company Quartermaster Sergeant for Company M, 1st Iowa Cavalry and mustered in on September 12, 1862. Discharged for promotion exactly one month later on August 12, 1862, he joined the newly formed 26th Iowa Infantry as a Second Lieutenant of Company A effective September 20, 1862. The regiment spent most of its service in the 15th Corps. Gaston was promoted to Captain on New Year's Day, January 1,1863, roughly dating the sword’s inscription, though it is likely this is also the sword he carried as a lieutenant. Shortly afterward the regiment lost 120 men killed and wounded while taking Arkansas Post and then joined in attacking Vicksburg directly. During the engagements around Vicksburg Gaston was wounded on May 18, 1863 and is listed to have received his wound at Walnut Hills Mississippi. In Fall the of 1863, the regiment fought at Chattanooga, Missionary Ridge and Ringgold, and in the Spring joined Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign, taking casualties at Resaca, Dallas, Kennesaw Mountain, Atlanta and Jonesboro. Later that year, the regiment joined Sherman’s March to the Sea and fought in his Campaign of the Carolinas to the end of the war. The regiment also saw action at Bentonville which was one of the last major battles of the Civil War that was fought on the east coast in order to force General Johnston's army to capitulate and prevent a prolonged guerilla war. Gaston resigned in May 1865 and returned to Iowa after the war. Although a medical student in 1860, he took up farming, and having married in 1864, raised four children. In the late 1880s he obtained a patronage appointment through an Iowa senator as a doorkeeper in the U.S. Senate, a position he kept until his death on November 25, 1920. He is buried in Arlington Cemetery. While not as flashy as other presentation swords, this foot officer model was honorably carried by a young officer throughout his military service. The presentation which is script engraved, is located on the upper mount and reads “Capt. / A.D. Gaston / Co. A 26th I.V.”. When unsheathed, the blade reveals its etched decorations. The decorations are mostly dominated by acanthus scrolls. The obverse of the blade features acanthus and foliate scrolls with a small spread winged federal eagle at the center of the blade above a small panoply of arms that is wrapped with foliate scrolls which continue all the way to the ricasso. The reverse also features foliate scrolls that are followed by a larger panoply of arms intertwined with vegetation, that rests above the letters "U.S." followed by more foliate scrolls which lead to the ricasso. The ricasso is blank and the entirety of the sword is devoid of markings. The cast brass hilt features a guard that is adorned with the typical open foliate scrolls with scattered budding flowers. The grip features a grooved, center-swelled wooden handle wrapped in high quality sharkskin. The domed brass pommel is decorated with scrollwork of laurel leaves. The scabbard is of black leather, featuring brass mounts. The obverse features the above mentioned presentation and the reverse is marked by Ames and reads "AMES MFG CO. / CHITCOPEE / MASS." The mounts are otherwise plain and devoid of decoration. CONDITION: The blade exhibits a light gray patina with scattered areas of pitting which are prevalent towards the tip. The brass hilt has darkened with age and has blackened in some areas. The sharkskin remains intact, but the brass wire has come unfastened and is loosely wrapped in two sections around the grip. While the scabbard is complete, it exhibits heavy wear and the drag has completely separated. There are three areas on the scabbard which are reinforced with black electrical tape. The scabbard body features a plethora of scuffs, creases, and cracks. The middle and upper mounts remain firmly attached to the scabbard body and exhibit a reddish patina, most likely from handling and poor quality brass of the era. The right of the D and the V of the inscription are rubbed. Despite the heavy wear, this is a nice example of a field-used sword carried by an officer in the most important western campaigns of the Civil War. Overall good.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION GRADE 1840 OFFICER'S PATTERN SWORD OF COLONEL FRANCIS PETELER, 2ND UNITED

Lot #1198 (Sale Order 198 of 679)

Francis Peteler was born in Bavaria in 1828 and emigrated to the United States in 1840. He served as a corporal in the 8th U.S. Infantry during the Mexican War and saw action at Vera Cruz. He moved to Minnesota in 1853 and was 33 years-old, living in Anoka, when he enlisted at Fort Snelling. He mustered into the First Company Minnesota Sharpshooters which was raised by Peleter on authority from the War Department, and only designated Co. A of the 2nd U.S.S.S. sometime after its arrival in Washington on October 10, 1861. Peleter was officially commissioned Lieutenant Colonel to date February 10, 1862, the day the 2nd United States Sharp Shooters was officially organized. The regiment was posted briefly at Fort Ward and then took part in the advance on Manassas in March and led the advance to Falmouth and Fredericksburg. It moved to the aid of General Banks at Front Royal and then on a reconnaissance to Orange Court House, Guinea Station, and Spotsylvania Court House. They arrived at Cedar Mountain after the fighting ended, but were in skirmishes over the next several days at Rappahannock Station and Warrenton Springs, and were in the Battle of Second Bull Run which resulted in a Confederate Victory with Union forces suffering nearly double the casualties as their Confederate counterparts. As a result of the Sioux uprising in Minnesota immediately after the battle, Peleter received a furlough for twenty days, which was extended to place him in command of Fort Abercrombie, Dakota Territory, for the winter of 1862-63, during which the garrison withstood periodic Native attacks and conducted patrols. Peteler was ordered back to the Army of the Potomac in May 1863, but resigned on June 3, 1863. After the war he made a reputation as founder of the Peteler Car Works, manufacturing railroad cars and holding a number of patents. He died in 1910, shortly after a reunion with surviving members of his Minnesota sharpshooter company. Peteler’s sword is quite elegant and merits as a token of a appreciation from the men whose unit he organized. The presentation is located on the folding counter guard and reads “Presented to Col. Francis Peteler / by / Co. A 2nd U.S.S.S. / Ft. Snelling / Oct. 5, 1861.” The date of the presentation is the day the company was officially mustered into U.S. service, and the day before it departed from Fort Snelling, but the inscription is most likely commemorative. The blade is profusely etched and features typical foliate and patriotic designs. The obverse features a bulbed flower which morphs into scrolls of acanthus leaves that form a banner which reads “E Pluribus Unum” and are halted by a spread winged federal eagle with a patriotic shield protecting its breast. The designs continue with a panoply of arms followed by more scrolls of acanthus leaves which lead to another panoply of arms ending with a floral palmette just above the ricasso which is stamped with two typical Klingenthal proof marks. The reverse features similarly etched designs also starting with a bulbed flower which morphs into scrolls of acanthus leaves intertwined with a panoply of arms. The scrollwork continues briefly but is halted by the letters “U.S.” followed by more acanthus scrolls which lead to a panoply of arms ending with a flowering palmette just above the ricasso. The spine is decorated with a pointed spire decorated with a diagonal pattern. The spine is marked "Klingenthal" in classic cursive lettering. The hilt is of cast brass and features a guard with a cast federal spread winged eagle on the obverse and the folding counterguard which features the presentation. The counterguard is appropriately stamped "E.L." under three punched stars, for E. Leon, who was an assembler in Paris, France. The hilt also features a bulb shaped quillon along with a knucklebow that is adorned with floral motifs. The grip is cast brass with simulated brass wire and is followed by a urn shaped pommel. The sword is complete with its brass scabbard which also features decorative designs around its three brass carry rings and brass drag. The upper and middle “mounts” are decorated with foliate scrollwork and are separated by a spread winged federal eagle, perched on a shield, in an ovular, braided vignette. The simulated lower mount features foliate motifs and floral scrollwork. CONDITION: The blade remains bright and features a nice polished sheen. There are several small chips along the edge leading up to the dulled tip. There are scattered areas of pitting along with light scratches. The folding counter guard retains some of its gilt and features dark spots from aging. Click here to see the full description.

CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD TO SURGEON MALEK A. SOUTHWORTH 1ST TEXAS VOLUNTEER CAVALRY

Lot #1199 (Sale Order 199 of 679)

Malek A. Southworth was born in New York in 1828, was licensed to practice medicine and surgery by age 20, and was made a fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine in 1850. He moved to Texas and was operating a successful medical practice when The Civil War divided the nation in two. He received a CS commission as surgeon, under which he served for a time, but made his way to Mexico and from there to Union occupied New Orleans late in 1862 or early in 1863. He later said that he had been vocal against secession and had organized similarly minded neighbors to resist the draft, which would have been in Spring 1863. In New Orleans he must have made some impression on General Banks who appointed him surgeon of the 2nd Texas Cavalry U.S. at Brownsville on November 5, 1863. The regiment served at Brownsville and on the Rio Grande as part of the 13th Army Corps to June 1864 and then in the District of Morganza from June 1864. Southworth was on sick leave from June until August or September, when the regiment was consolidated with the 1st Texas Cavalry U.S., in the 2nd Separate Cavalry Brigade 19th Army Corps. The consolidated regiment saw service in operations around Morganza, at Williamsport, the Atchafalaya River, Davidson's expedition against the Mobile and Ohio railroad, and elsewhere. A 1907 obituary specifically mentions service in "Banks Expedition to western Texas, the taking of Brownville and Fort Brown . . . most of the engagements thereabouts, as well as on the march of General Davidson. . ." In May 1865 they were ordered to Mississippi, and then to Texas in July, where they mustered out in November. During reconstruction he was twice appointed by Sheridan as Resident Physician of Quarantine at New Orleans in the fight against Yellow Fever and in 1871 served as Surgeon General of Louisiana with the rank of brigadier general. He was active in the G.A.R., various fraternal organizations, and politics. He moved to California in 1893, where continued to practice medicine and died in 1907. Southworth did his best to downplay his Confederate service, maintaining he had received an unsolicited commission from Richmond as surgeon, sworn no oath of allegiance to the Confederacy, and used it to escape to Mexico, formally declining it from there and making his way to Union occupied New Orleans, where he joined the 2nd Texas Cavalry U.S. as surgeon. Fellow U.S. officers later maintained they found out that he had "exercised the functions of Surgeon in the Rebel Sibley Brigade in hostility to the United States. And that he wore the Rebel uniform whilst exercising the functions of said office." Confederate military service records are fragmentary, but support the accusation, listing him as present as a surgeon in the 4th Regiment Texas Mounted Volunteers, also known as 1st Regiment Sibley's Brigade on 16 October 1861, but with no further record. His explanations, however, were apparently sufficient to Generals Banks, Sheridan, and to Congress in 1903, when he applied for an increase in his pension. In 1865, he fell afoul of his regimental commander, who proffered court-martial charges against him. Nothing seems to have come of this and he must have been well respected by noncommissioned officers and privates to have merited such a beautiful sword. The flashy staff and field sword is at the very least nothing short of a conversation piece. The presentation is located between the mounts and reads "Surgn M.A. Southworth / Presented by the / Non Commissioned Officers & Privates / of the 1st Texas Cavy. Vol's. / U.S.A." Manufactured by Horstmann, the sword is marked "WH / Horstmann & Sons / Philadelphia" on the ricasso and "Iron Proof" on the spine. The blade is beautifully gold washed and features elegantly detailed etched designs. Gold washed blades were usually reserved for the finest swords and are often decorated with the finest etchings further reflecting the evidence of respect that Southworth held from the men of his regiment. Following the Iron Proof marking, the spine features creeping vines that travel the length of the gold wash. The obverse blade features patriotic motifs of bunting and pole weapons, including halberds and spears. These are followed by elegant scrolls and a spread winged federal eagle with a banner that reads "E PLURIBUS UNUM" held high between its wings. After the eagle are foliate scrolls followed by a propped set of armor surrounded by weapons such as a sword and fasces. The reverse features similar motifs that start with more bunting which is flown over crossed cannons and sabers topped with a liberty cap. Click here to see the full description.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF COLONEL WILLIAM H. HART, 1ST MASSACHUSETTS HEAVY ARTILLERY AND 36

Lot #1200 (Sale Order 200 of 679)

William H. Hart was an active and energetic officer who was respected by his men and his superior officers, which is displayed through his military career. He rose from Sergeant to Lieutenant-Colonel and Brevet Colonel in the 1st Massachusetts Heavy Artillery and 36th US Colored Troops, with whom he served from late 1862 to late 1866 in Virginia and Texas. In his young adult life, Hart was a shoemaker in Lynn, Massachusetts, when he enlisted and was mustered as a sergeant in Company M, 14th Massachusetts Regiment of Infantry, on February 28, 1862 and was promoted to Second Lieutenant on January 28, 1863. Hart’s regiment had been organized in June 1861 as the 14th Massachusetts Regiment of Infantry. Their branch of service was changed to heavy artillery in January 1862 with the addition of companies “L” and “M,” of which Hart was a member and were appropriately designated batteries, but official redesignation of the regiment as the 1st Massachusetts Heavy Artillery did not take place until September 1863. The regiment served largely in the defenses of Washington, with several companies assigned to Harpers Ferry and elsewhere. They were reunited at Washington in November 1863 and sent to the field as infantry in May 1864. In the meantime, Hart had applied for a commission in the United States Colored Troops and was appointed Captain of Company H on April 26, 1864. He resigned from the 1st Massachusetts Heavy Artillery and mustered into the 36th USCT on May 11, 1864. The 36th USCT was organized from the 2nd North Carolina Colored Infantry in February 1864. They saw service with the Army of the James as part of the 18th Corps and the 25th Corps. In 1864 they took part in several expeditions and were then involved in the siege operations against Petersburg and Richmond from July 1864 to the end of the war. They lost 49 men killed in action at battles such as Chaffin's Farm, New Market Heights, Fair Oaks, Dutch Gap, Indiantown, and in fighting north of the James River before Richmond until March 27, 1865, after which they took part in the occupation of Richmond on April 3, 1865, and the Appomattox Campaign. In May 1865 they were posted to Texas, serving along the Rio Grande and at other points until mustering out in October 1866. Hart was present with the regiment throughout its service except for some stints of staff duty and a brief furlough in February 1865. On September 24, 1864, he was promoted Major, over the heads of some senior captains, on the recommendation of several superior officers: “. . . he has always performed his duties promptly and faithfully. He is an able Tactician, no line officers in the Regt. excel him, he is reliable, energetic, and efficient, and better qualified to fill the office of Major than any other connected with the Regt.” He was in command of the regiment during its time in Texas. He was promoted to Lt. Colonel on February 25, 1866 and mustered in on March 15, 1866. He mustered out on October 28, 1866 and received a brevet in 1867 for his service, giving him the rank of Colonel from March 13, 1865. Hart returned to Massachusetts, lived in Chelsea, was a customs officer for a while and then graduated from Boston University law school in 1872 and became an attorney and counselor at law, held several trustee and corporate positions and was an officer of the Chelsea police court. He married in 1866, raised two daughters, and was active in the G.A.R. where he was a member at post 5. His wife died in 1895. Tragically, after living a fulfilling life and being respected by the soldiers he lead into battle and the community he resided in after the war, this upstanding soldier and community figure took his own life in the woods of Lynn, Massachusetts during 1897. Hart's final words were recorded in three letters which were addressed to his brother and two daughters which simply said goodbye and gave instructions for a funeral. Some suggested financial problems but it is unknown why Hart decided to end his accomplished life early. Newspaper articles of the time write only positive columns regarding Hart and his life, adding to the tragedy. Hart's achievements live on through his sword which was presented to him by the members of Battery M, 14th Massachusetts Heavy Artillery. The inscription is located on the upper mount and reads "Presented to / Lieut. W.H. Hat / by the members of / Battery M 14th Regt. / Mass Vol. H.A. / May 1863". The presentation thus dates between January 1863 and May 1864. It may have been a parting gift. As a staff and field sword it would be appropriate for wear during the rest of his career. The sword is faintly marked with a mostly illegible maker mark that appears to have read "James P. Fitch" on the reverse ricasso. Click here to see the full description.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF CAPTAIN WILLIAM B. BINGHAM, 44TH INDIANA

Lot #1201 (Sale Order 201 of 679)

A fine example of an inscribed presentation grade Model 1850 Staff and Field Officer’s Sword recorded to have been presented to Capt. W.B. Bingham, Company H, 44th Indiana on November 15, 1861. Bingham is by no means a written about or recognizable figure in history, however his role in the Civil War was significant, especially in the capture of Fort Donelson. William B. Bingham was born during the year 1819 in Pennsylvania and moved to Ohio with his family in 1828, working as a mail carrier and store clerk. In 1847, one year after Mexico passed the boundaries of the United States and tarnished relations by spilling American blood on the soil, Bingham enlisted in the US Army. He joined Company D, 4th Ohio Infantry, and saw action at Atlixco, Puebla, and Huamantla, all critical battles which aided with the expulsion of the Mexican military. After the war, Bingham mustered out as a First Sergeant and moved to LaGrange, Indiana in 1855, where he engaged in the mercantile business, farming, and served as Justice of the Peace .At the outbreak of the Civil War, he distinguished himself among his community members and helped raise and drill several companies in Lagrange, being noted as, “the only man in LaGrange County who could give the required commands for the simplest military movement.” He helped recruit another company in Fall 1861 to join the 44th Indiana as Company H, of which he was elected Captain, and which named itself, “Bingham’s Guards" in honor of their competent leader. A newspaper recorded the presentation of this sword to him in November 1861: “On Friday evening of the 15th Inst. with only twenty-four hours’ notice, a large number of the citizens of LaGrange assembled at the Court House, for the purpose of presenting to Wm. B. Bingham, Captain of the ‘Bingham’s Guards,’ Company H, in the Forty-Fourth Regiment of Indiana Volunteers, with a sword, which had been purchased by the citizens of this place for that purpose. Captain Bingham responded in a very impressive and touching manner – thanking the donors for the elegant and significant present and pledging his honor that he would do the best of his ability to discharge the duties devolving upon him and that the weapon should never be dishonored whilst in his possession.” Bingham proved as good as his word. The regiment took part in Grant’s February 1862 move against Fort Henry and the siege and battle at Fort Donelson, where he was commended in the Official Records by the regiment’s colonel. The regiment had been forced to cease fire to avoid hitting friendly forces, but were still under fire from concealed Confederates: “We remained exposed to the enemy's fire for fifteen or twenty minutes without being able to return it or to determine whether our friends were still in danger of our guns. At this time, the enemy's fire partly subsiding, the regimental colors were ordered forward and were planted 10 paces in front of our line of battle by First Lieut. Story, of Company C. This failing to call forth a fire, Capt. Bingham, of Company H, advanced to a point 10 or 12 paces in front of our line and waved our colors in the air. This drew his fire, which was most heartily responded to by our men, and was followed up in rapid succession on both sides . . .” While waiting for their chance at the enemy, Bingham, remaining calm and intrepid, disregarded his own safety by making himself a target in order to draw fire and reveal enemy positions. This selfless act would play a key role in the capture of Fort Donelson, a decisive Union victory. Bingham was granted furlough several weeks later and promoted to Major, rejoining the regiment on the march from Shiloh to Corinth, and after the siege and battle there marched with it some 200 miles through Mississippi and Alabama to Battle Creek, Tennessee, and then commanded his men in Buell’s 200 mile retreat to Nashville and then north. Unfortunately, Bingham was taken ill near Bowling Green, Kentucky, and resigned his commission. Rebel soldiers could not strike him down, but instead the North and South's common enemy, disease, removed the honorable leader from the ranks of the Union Army. After his resignation, Bingham returned home and in later years was active in regimental reunions. An obituary remarked, “He was highly esteemed by his comrades in the service, and at the reunions of his regiment since the war, he has always received most hearty greeting. No one will be missed more than he.” These simple words are a fitting final tribute to a true leader, who was respected by the men under his command. Bingham's history lives on through his sword which was presented to him by the citizens of Lagrange, Indiana. Click here to see the full description.

US CIVIL WAR AMES PRESENTATION SWORD OF LIEUTENANT FITCH T. BIRDSALL, 20TH CONNECTICUT VOLUNTEERS

Lot #1202 (Sale Order 202 of 679)

Born in New York in 1840, Fitch Taylor Birdsall was working as a clerk in the prominent New Haven, Connecticut dry goods firm of Winship and Barney when he enlisted on August 15, 1862 and was commissioned 1st Lieutenant, Company G of the 20th Connecticut Volunteers on September 8, 1862. The regiment was organized in response to Lincoln’s June 1862 call for 300,000 more troops and was quickly dispatched to Washington, from where it was sent to Frederick, Maryland, then on to Harpers Ferry and assigned to the 12th Army Corps. It saw its first action in a skirmish with Confederate cavalry at Keys Gap, but avoided the disaster of Fredericksburg by assignment to duty at Fairfax Station and Stafford Court House, seeing its first serious action at Chancellorsville in May 1863. Birdsall was one of several officers who left service before that, resigning February 10, 1863, for, according to documents, reasons of ill health, which was not uncommon considering the conditions of disease-ridden camps, and seems to have moved back to New York. The New York 1863 draft registration finds him living with brother Samuel, who served in the 27th Connecticut as Captain, but was captured and paroled at Chancellorsville, exchanged later, and mustered out to date of the muster out of the regiment on July 23, 1865, (with apparent state brevets to Colonel and Brigadier General.) Samuel, a lawyer, must have had a sense of humor or degree of tolerance. He listed his occupation as “soldier,” which was accurate since he was on parole at the time. Fitch also listed himself as “soldier,” with the additional note that he had served two years in the 20th Connecticut, which seems something of an overstatement. He is listed as living with his brothers and sisters in New York in 1865, and met his end in May 1871, while attempting to swim to shore from the Steamboat Connecticut near Hastings, New York. The sword itself is a very nice example of a presentation grade Ames M1850 foot officer’s sword. The presentation is located on the upper mount and reads “Presented to / Lieut. Fitch Taylor Birdsall/ 20th Regt. C.V./ by / his associate clerks at / Winship & Barney’s / New Haven Sep. 2d 1862.” Once unsheathed, the blade is revealed and exhibits elegant frosted designs. The obverse features gentle foliate scrolls which lead to a banner that reads “E Pluribus Unum” which flows above a classic Ames spread winged eagle, gripping olive branches and arrows. Beneath the eagle is a panoply of arms and bunting followed by more thin foliate scrolls leading up the maker marking which reads “Ames Mfg. Co. / Chicopee / Mass.” nicely etched into the blade just above the ricasso. The reverse exhibits similar thin foliate scrolls, a panoply of arms and bunting, followed by the letters “U.S.” which replace the eagle. More foliate scrolls follow leading up to decorative patterns just above the ricasso. The blade meets the cast brass hilt at the guard which features open foliate scrolls followed by the grip, which features a grooved, center-swelled wooden handle wrapped in high quality sharkskin. The skin is tightly bound to the grip with double-twisted brass wire that fits neatly in the grooves of the handle. The domed brass pommel is decorated with more foliate motifs. The sword is complete with its leather scabbard that is marked “AMES MFG. CO. / CHICOPEE / MASS”. Constructed of a leather body, the scabbard features brass mounts, two carry rings, and a brass drag. Besides the presentation, the mounts are unadorned. CONDITION: The blade has been very well preserved and retains its original polished bright sheen. There are scattered areas of pitting throughout the length of the blade along with a few scattered chips along the edge. The tip is rounded. The guard retains some of its gilt and exhibits a few aged spots. The grip is in superb condition and the brass wire remains tight. The black leather scabbard remains strong but exhibits areas of cracking and leather loss. Three prominent cracks are located towards the drag. The mounts are very clean and exhibit a pleasing mustard patina, with some areas of gilt still noticeable. The upper mount has a reddish-brown area and exhibits fingerprint impressions. All screws are present. The upper and middle mounts wobble slightly. Overall very good. The sword is accompanied by a binder of research which was provided by the consigner. Regardless of his short time in the service, this is still a very nice example of a Civil War presentation sword. JLD Blade Length: 30" Overall Length: 36" Paperwork: Binder of Research

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF 1ST SERGEANT JOHN T. SHCERMERHORN 1ST UNITED STATES SHARPSHOOTERS

Lot #1203 (Sale Order 203 of 679)

Schermerhorn was a soldier's soldier, refusing discharge for wounds to remain with his comrades, declining one promotion to return to the ranks, but eventually accepting appointment as the senior NCO of his company, making him responsible for it on a day-to-day basis, putting him in close contact with each of his men, and in fact commanding the company in the field, though still a sergeant, when he was mustered out. Born in Schenectady, NY, and standing almost six-feet tall, with brown hair and blue eyes, he had been a machinist and was just 25 when he enlisted in Brooklyn on August 19, 1861 and on September 17 mustered into Captain Hastings company in the Berdan's 1st US Sharpshooters, later designated Company H. This was one of four New York companies in the regiment, all the men having to pass a marksmanship test of ten consecutive shots into a bullseye at 200 yards with an average deviation of no more than five inches. Schermerhorn passed the test and was appointed corporal October 1, but decided he would rather be a private and is reported as returned to the ranks at his own request on muster roll of January-February 1862, apparently deciding he would rather fight than give orders. His abilities were such, however, that he was again pulled from the ranks and promoted, this time to Sergeant, April 15, 1862 and then to First Sergeant one year later, in April 1863. He is marked present on the company muster rolls all through the period, during which the regiment, attached to the 3rd Corps, saw action on the Peninsula in battles from Yorktown through Malvern Hill and then in the Second Bull Run and Antietam campaign. At Chancellorsville in May 1863 the unit was again heavily engaged and Schermerhorn was wounded, but refused hospitalization to remain with the company. At Gettysburg the regiment was again heavily engaged on July 2 in probing Confederate preparations for Longstreet's attack against the Union left and in confronting the main assault. He came through that fire unscathed, but was wounded in the foot on July 3 while on the skirmish line near Cemetery Hill. The wound was serious enough that he was transferred from a field hospital to a general hospital at Annapolis and was unable to return to the regiment for six months, in the meantime turning down the opportunity for a medical discharge, preferring to serve out his term according to all sources, including the unit history by Capt. C.A. Stevens. The history states "all I know by name was Sergt. John T. Schermerhorn, a good and dutiful soldier, who was so severely wounded as to be unable to rejoin his company for many months, and could have been discharged on it, but preferred to serve his term out. He is present again on the company muster roll for January-February 1864 and throughout the rest of his service, during which the unit saw continued hard service in the near constant fighting of Grant's overland campaign of 1864, including Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, the assault on Petersburg and subsequent trench and siege duty, and other operations such as Weldon Railroad. By the time he mustered out on September16 in front of Petersburg, still as the company first sergeant, he was actually in command of the company. After mustering out he returned to civilian life, living for a time in Norfolk, Virginia, after the war and then moving to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he died in December 1916. Given his devotion to his company and comrades it is little surprise they honored him with this sword. The presentation grade Model 1840 sword is eye-catching and despite no visible maker mark the blade is profusely etched and the scabbard bears a wonderful presentation. The presentation is located on the mount and reads "Presented to / 1st Sgt. John T. / Schermerhorn / 1st Regt. U.S.S.S / by the men of Co. H N.Y.V." The blade presents wonderfully and depicts elegant foliate and patriotic scenes. The obverse starts with a gentle fern that is contained in the outline of a spire and is followed by scrollwork surrounding a panoply of arms and bunting spread out behind a patriotic shield. The designs are continued by more scrollwork ending with a flowing banner that reads "E Pluribus Unum" just above the ricasso. The designs on the reverse begin with the same spire followed by mirroring scrollwork which is separated by the bold letters "US" contained in a scrolled vignette. The scrollwork continues for the rest of the length and ends just above the ricasso. The crossguard exhibits what appears to be a winged buckler with punched dot decorations engraved on both sides. The left side of the crossguard was intentionally turned down, most likely for convenience when worn. The brass knucklebow also features floral decorations and the sword ends with a a pommel that is engraved to resemble a flower. Click here to see the full description.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF LT. COL. DANIEL M. RAY EAST TENNESSEE CAVALRY

Lot #1204 (Sale Order 204 of 679)

Daniel Mack Ray was born in Yancy County North Carolina on March 27, 1833. He grew up in Sevier County, Tennessee later receiving his academic education in Burnsville, North Carolina and Dandridge, Tennessee. After his education was complete, he worked as a school teacher, and was living in east Tennessee when the war broke out. With the outbreak of the Civil War, he remained loyal to the Union, and joined the Army after a year of clandestine work behind enemy lines in eastern Kentucky, blowing up bridges and obstructing the invading rebel armies. According to one obituary, Ray organized neighbors to burn several railroad bridges in order to delay pro-southern forces entering the state. He then made his way to Flat Lick, Kentucky, to enlist in the Union army, receiving a commission on October, 10 1862 as First Lieutenant and Adjutant of the 3rd Tennessee Infantry, U.S., part of the Army of Ohio, resigning from that unit six months later to take a commission as Colonel of the 2nd Tennessee Cavalry, U.S., on August 6, 1862 with whom he served with for the remainder of his extensive war service commanding a brigade in Sheridan’s Atlantic campaign under Major General David S. Stanley and Colonel Edward M. McCook. Their first service was covering Morgan’s 450 mile retreat from Cumberland Gap to the Ohio River, which they did dismounted. They were finally mounted at Louisville, Kentucky, and then moved to Nashville and took part in the advance on Murfreesboro, taking part in the Battle of Stones River and all the smaller fights and skirmishes of the campaign, such as Nolensville, Triune, Wilkinson's Cross Roads, Lizzard's, and others. From January 1, 1863 to June 23, 1863, the regiment served with the cavalry under Stanley, covering Rosecrans, engaging in fights with cavalry under Forrest, Wheeler, Morgan and others. The date of the presentation of this sword more or less corresponding with the Tullahoma Campaign, pursuing Bragg, and then joining Sheridan’s expedition to Alabama, before rejoining the cavalry under Stanley and taking part in the “fierce skirmishing” of the Battle of Chickamauga, afterward covering the army as it fell back to Chattanooga, seeing continued action against Confederate cavalry, guarding railroad lines and taking part in an expedition into Mississippi from Memphis in late December 1863. During much of this time Ray was in command of the brigade: from February through April 1863, the 3rd Brigade 1st Cavalry Division, Department of the Cumberland, and the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, Cavalry Corps, Army of the Cumberland, in September and October, 1863 (the Chickamauga Campaign.) Ray’s war record is extraordinary, and includes many decisive battles on the Western Theater. He was in numerous saber charges and was involved with hand-to-hand combat, many of said events were chronicled in the Official Records and newspaper articles of the era. Colonel Ray was said to have carried two swords throughout the war. The first, a regulation officer’s cavalry saber was lost shortly after the Battle of Chickamauga during one of the famed incidents of “Wheelers Raid” when the Confederates burned the Union Army’s wagon trains, bound for Chattanooga, at Anderson’s Crossroads. Colonel’s Ray and McCook lead the successful counter charge but by then between three and five hundred of the eight hundred wagons were in smoldering ruins. This incident was sketched by J.T.E. Hillen, an artist for Frank Leslie’s Illustrated newspaper, who happened to be traveling with the brigade. There is a slight conflict with dates in the records, and Ray may have lost his first sword at Stone’s River. The second sword is his magnificent presentation saber following the battle of Triune and preceding the Battle of Chickamauga and the Tullahoma Campaign. This presentation sword was in his possession through the remainder of Ray’s military career during the battles of Chickamauga, Nashville, the Defense of Decatur, Memphis, Antioch Church, Owen’s Crossroads, Jonesboro, and the many battles and skirmishes of the Union Army’s Atlantic Campaign. Due to Colonel Ray’s deteriorating health, and after three and a half years of living in the saddle, constantly skirmishing and battling against the likes of Joe Wheeler, John Bell Hood, and Nathan Bedford Forrest, he turned down an appointment to Brigadier Generalship and resigned in February 1864, for reasons of health according to some sources, and to attend to business, by his own words.

US PRE CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF CAPTAIN LIVINGSTON L. BAKER, SACRAMENTO GUARDS

Lot #1205 (Sale Order 205 of 679)

The formation of independent volunteer companies of uniformed militia in California was authorized in April 1850. In the wake of the admission of the state in 1850 and the Gold Rush, the militia companies often found themselves tasked with confronting Indian raids, bandits, land disputes, vigilante actions, and general civil disturbance. Livingston Low Baker was born in Maine in 1827, educated in Boston, and went to California during the Gold Rush of 1849. He was a co-founder in 1853 of Baker and Hamilton, a large dealer in hardware and agricultural implements operating in Sacramento and, by 1867, also in San Francisco. As a prominent businessman and member of society, he was involved for many years in the volunteer militia and the California National Guard. The Sacramento Guards, a company of light infantry numbering 45 men were organized August 11, 1855, with Baker as Orderly Sergeant. Baker was elected Captain December 17, 1855, obviously the occasion for the presentation of this sword. The company fell victim to the chaos of the vigilante crisis of 1856, when the San Francisco Vigilance Committee took over the city from May through August, defied the Governor and formed their own army, which reached more than four infantry regiments, fifteen artillery pieces, two companies of dragoons and several others. The few militia companies responding to the Governor's order put down the vigilante movement by force were quickly disarmed, and in fact many prominent citizens were members of both the militia and the vigilantes. The Sacramento Guards met on June 11, 1856 and solved the dilemma by disbanding, handing over their arms to the Sutter Rifles, and almost immediately regrouping as the Independence City Guards, who were the only uniformed militia company in Sacramento by 1858, officially reorganized under state law on June 28, with Baker as Captain. A number of its men joined the Union army during the war. Baker remained in California, becoming captain of a company designated the, "National Guard" Oct. 7, 1862 and from late 1865 to 1866 was colonel of the 4th Regiment of Infantry National Guard of California. He married twice, in 1859 and in 1875. He died in California in 1892 and is buried in Oakland. The sword is quite elegant and is worthy of presentation to a newly appointed captain. The presentation was applied on a silver shield that was placed on the guard and reads "Presented / To / Capt. L.L. Baker / by the / Sacramento Guards / Dec. 1855". The blade is beautifully etched and exhibits evidence of frosting. The etched designs on the obverse blade begin with a long branch of oak leaves and acorns that are neatly tied at the end with a bow. The center of the blade contains the bold letters "US" which are foliate in nature as they end with budding flowers and are contained in a buckler shield that is flaked by a foliate vignette and flower pedals. The letters are followed by a budding rose bush that is protruding from a decorative vase resting on a shelf above a budding flower and weaved designs. The reverse blade is similarly etched with a long foliate branch that is tied off with a bow and is followed by erect flower pedals that hover over a bold federal eagle that carries a banner in its mouth which reads "E Pluribus Unum". The eagle is followed by acanthus leaves that rest over a row of drums and a daisy in bloom. The designs end at the ricasso which is stamped with the Gebruder Weyersberg king's head proof. A single foliate vine creeps up the spine and travels the length of the blade etchings. The foliate motifs blend onto the guard which is evidenced by the drooped pedal quillon and the flowers that adorn the knucklebow. The left guard can be rotated down for convenience and the hinge functions properly. The cast brass grip exhibits simulated braided wire and ends at an urn shaped pommel, also adorned with leaves. The scabbard is constructed completely of brass and features two ring mounts and a belt hook. The scabbard is also adorned and exhibits ornate hand engraved designs. The ring mounts are surrounded by three towering foliate leaves with simulated scales piercing the gaps between the leaves. There is a bold federal eagle perched on a patriotic shield at the center between the mounts. The drag also exhibits the foliate and scaled designs and the scabbard compliments the designs on the blade. CONDITION: The blade remains bright with strong frosting. There are scattered scratches and areas of pitting, which are located on the spine and towards the ricasso. The hilt exhibits a pleasant mustard patina with scattered blemishes throughout.

CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE CSA SWORD OF CHIEF SURGEON JOHN H. STEVENS

Lot #1206 (Sale Order 206 of 679)

An affidavit from the family states the sword was descended from Dr. John H. Stevens, who served as a surgeon in the C.S. Army of Northern Virginia at the regimental, brigade, division and corps level. He may have entered service carrying a family sword, but it could well have been his own if he had prewar militia service. Born in Virginia, during the year 1824, John Horace Stevens received a medical degree from University of Virginia in 1846 and in 1848 worked for a time in a Philadelphia hospital. In May 1861 he was appointed Surgeon of the 2nd Louisiana in the Confederate army. The unit served in the Army of Northern Virginia, seeing action on the Peninsula in Cobb’s brigade, near Richmond at the Seven Days’ Battle, but did not see much action until July at Malvern Hill, where the unit regiment lost 182 soldiers, wounded and killed, with Stevens as senior brigade surgeon, at Lee’s Mills and Malvern Hill. The 2nd Louisiana then joined Starke’s 2nd Louisiana Brigade in July 1862, seeing action at Second Manassas and Antietam, the latter being bloodiest single-day action of the Civil War. The Confederate forces at Antietam suffered a staggering 10,316 losses including 7,752 men wounded. The surgeons of the Confederate Army including Stevens, who was still acting as senior brigade surgeon, would have witnessed the horrors of the events that unfolded on the battlefield. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and hospitals would have been overrun with wounded soldiers. Some regiments suffered terribly, one particular example is the 1st Texas Regiment, which suffered nearly 83% casualties when they were slaughtered by cannon fire in Miller's Cornfield. Surgeons on both sides of the field would have had their hands full, quite literally, as they struggled to provide care to the wounded. Later in April 1863, Stevens was listed as chief surgeon of Nichols’s brigade. In May, the regiment fought with Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville, where they lost more than 100 men. Later that summer, the 2nd Louisiana was present at Gettysburg and participated in the attack on Culp’s Hill. By April 1864, Stevens was acting as chief surgeon of Johnson’s division, becoming chief surgeon of Gordon’s division. In July 1864 he was serving as such under General Jubal Early in the Shenandoah Valley, later becoming the medical director of the division by January 1865, as well as Surgeon and Medical Inspector of the entire Second Corps, Gordon’s, by April 1865. He was then captured and paroled. He reportedly served in the Louisiana state legislature, married in 1869, and moved to Texas about 1870 where he worked as both farmer and physician. Stevens died in 1881, in Dallas County, “after returning from a pleasant ride.” He is buried in Pioneer Park in downtown Dallas and a photo of his grave marker is included that details his military service. The sword presented here that descended from Stevens' family, is a circa 1810-1840 militia officer's saber featuring a curved blade with three gold inlayed designs engraved towards the ricasso. The obverse designs feature acanthus leaves followed by a patriotic panoply topped with a liberty cap, and another panoply of drums, cannons, and a shield topped by a liberty cap. The reverse also features acanthus leaves a patriotic panoply, and more acanthus leaves. The designs lead to an unmarked ricasso that is followed by a brass hilt with a plain guard and knucklebow that is cast with foliate motifs. The grip features a grooved, center-swelled bone handle with a plain backstrap and a bird head pommel. The sword is complete with its scabbard which is constructed of brass and features two carry rings. The screw towards the top of the scabbard is missing. CONDITION: The blade exhibits a dark gray patina with areas of heavy pitting towards the tip, which has dulled. The hilt exhibits a pleasing mustard patina and the grip has a slight wiggle. The scabbard also exhibits a mustard patina with scattered dents throughout its length with a few scattered finger print impressions. Overall good. The sword comes with a small binder of research and signed letters from the family Dr. Stevens. This is a nice early sword that is attributed to well established Confederate officer who was present at some of the most significant battles of the Civil War.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF CAPTAIN WILLIAM S. BOYD “THE FIGHTING CAPTAIN” OF BIRGE’S WESTERN

Lot #1207 (Sale Order 207 of 679)

Very nice example of a presentation grade foot officer's sword from a veteran called William S. Boyd, more appropriately known as “the fighting captain of the regiment.” Born on May 8, 1843 in Dublin, Ireland, he was living in St. Louis, Missouri when he enlisted on May 10, 1861 for three months in the 5th Missouri. Discharged August 10, 1861, he promptly joined the “Western Sharpshooters,” organized in St. Louis, Missouri by the renowned former Military Governor and State Senator of California, General John C. Fremont, the regiment consisted of men from various western states. The regiment used the nickname throughout the war, though officially designated the 14th Missouri Volunteer Infantry and, from late 1862, the 66th Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Initially armed with half-stock civilian target rifles, by late 1863 many of the men had purchased Henry repeating rifles. Boyd and the other sharpshooters saw early action in Missouri against Confederate bushwhackers and scouts, fighting at Mount Zion, the regiment aided in the suppression of a Confederate force that was estimated at 900 strong. “The rebels could not stand the fire of our rifles and retreated, leaving in our hands 90 horse and 105 stand of arms”. After the battle, Captain Boyd was lauded for “gallant behavior” and was congratulated with his men. They later saw action at Renick, Macon, and Centralia. In February 1862 they proved their effectiveness as sharpshooters at Fort Donelson, where the regiment distinguished itself where “Every man kept a sharp look out for the Confederates and with a steady hand kept an entire 12 gun battery in front of the Division silent for 3 days of the siege.” The regiment remained at Fort Donelson until March 5, and went on to fight at Shiloh, Iuka, and Corinth. Boyd was wounded in the left arm on October 4, 1862 during the second day of the Battle of Corinth and is listed as present in the muster rolls one month later in November 1862. The regiment fought in numerous other skirmishes and smaller engagements with Confederate guerrillas and scouts in Tennessee and Alabama in 1863. They re-enlisted as veterans in late 1863 and in 1864 took part in the Atlanta Campaign, losing 225 men killed and wounded in 120 days of fighting, with Boyd periodically in command of the regiment from April 1864 to the end of the campaign. In front of Atlanta, he was prominent in regiment’s successful effort to recapture the DeGress Battery, a Union battery which was previously captured by the Confederates. During this effort, Boyd cracked one of the guns while turning it again on the enemy with the cry, “Here goes for Atlanta,” causing some comment in the records, but establishing the regiment’s claim to retaking the gun. A more detailed account if the event recounts that on July 22, 1864, “The 66th came up at the Battery behind the works. Captain W.S. Boyd inserted the shell in a gun that had burst. It was a percussion not a fuse shell. The breech went 20 to 25 feet to the rear, the right trunnion went to the right over the breastworks, the left over the right wheel. The gun broke forward of the trunnions, turning end for end, the muzzle pointing inward, the shell remaining in the muzzle. It was said to be a miracle that none were killed or crippled by it.” Boyd was mentioned in a veteran’s poem as wielding his sword in the Atlanta fighting: “Let them come a littled closer / Shouts our brave commander, Boyd; then he grasped his sheathless weapon / Bound to win or be destroyed.” The regiment subsequently took part in the March to the Sea and was involved with the Siege of Atlanta. He is mentioned as commanding the regiment again in January 1865, and mustered out on March 31, 1865 after the Battle of Bentonville. Boyd started his life in Ireland, made his impression in the United States as a successful and valiant officer, passing away and leaving the legacy of significant figure in Civil War history. Boyd distinguished himself in battle and was worthy of his sword, which was presented to him after many of his daring achievements in 1864. The presentation is located on the upper mount and reads “Capt. W.S. Boyd / 66th Ill. Vol. / 1864”, contained in a shield. Once unsheathed, the blade reveals itself to be rather plain, featuring little designs except for a spread winged federal eagle, perched on a banner that reads “E Pluribus Unum” flaked by scrollwork on the obverse and the letters “U.S.” which is also flanked by scrollwork, on the reverse. The blade is marked “SCHUYLER / HARTLEY & / GRAHAM / NEW YORK” appropriately acid etched on the ricasso. The sword features a cast brass hilt which features a quillion decorated with a tear drop design and a guard with open foliate and floral scrolls surrounding the small staff and field letters “US”.

CIVIL WAR HIGH GRADE AMES PRESENTATION SWORD OF DR. JAMES KENT, INDEPENDENT BLUES AND 44TH ALABAMA

Lot #1208 (Sale Order 208 of 679)

James Kent was born in Petersburg, Virginia on January 8, 1830. He graduated from William and Mary College at age 18, and the University of Pennsylvania at 21. He lived in Linden, Alabama, for a time, married and moved to Selma about 1855 to practice medicine. Kent commanded the Independent Blues, organized in July 1859 in Selma, Alabama. He was presented this sword on July 4, 1860, as a token of appreciation by the newly formed Governor’s Guard, also of that city for assisting in their instruction in drill (See Military Images July 1992 p.16-17). Both militia companies were activated and sent to Mobile in January 1861 where they were posted to Fort Morgan, a recently seized U.S. facility guarding the city. Before leaving Selma on January 11, 1861, the Independent Blues were photographed at the wharf on Water Street. The image is in the Alabama state archives and Kent is certainly among the officers posed in front of the company. The company remained at Fort Morgan for some two months and later entered Confederate service, on May 10, 1861, as Company D of the 8th Alabama, officially electing Kent again as captain, and organizing on June 9, 1861 for three years’ service. The regiment reached Petersburg Virginia on June 6, 1861 where Kent was welcomed as former resident. In November 1861, however, he resigned from the Independent Blues and returned to Selma, where he helped organize the 44th Alabama, of which he was elected Colonel in May 1862. The regiment was assigned to Law’s Brigade, Longstreet’s Corps, Army of Northern Virginia. The regiment was sent to Richmond in June and made part of Wright’s brigade with three Georgia regiments. Kent was obliged, however, had to go on leave by July, apparently trying to recuperate in Petersburg, and to resign for health reasons on September 1, 1862 the same time that the regiment he had organized was getting its first taste of battle at Second Manassas. There are several health reasons listed in records that indicate the cause of Kent’s resignation. He returned to Selma and continued to practice medicine, serving briefly as a surgeon again during Wilson’s attack on the city in April 1865. He retired from medicine in 1876, and served briefly in the state legislature. Kent passed away in Birmingham, Alabama on May 24, 1881. This beautiful Ames presentation sword merits as a token of appreciation for an officer who helped teach his men how to properly drill. The presentation is located on the upper mount with an engraved scroll vignette and reads “Governor’s Guard to / Dr. James Kent / July 4, 1860.” The sword is quite elegant, and when unsheathed, the blade features beautiful etched foliate scrollwork combined with patriotic motifs. The etchings on the obverse begin with floral scrolls that morph into acanthus leaves and bellflowers followed by a beautiful spread winged eagle holding a banner that reads “E Pluribus Unum” between its talons. The eagle is followed by more foliate scrolls which end at the ricasso. The reverse is nearly identical to the obverse, starting with floral scrolls which morph into scrolls of acanthus leaves interrupted in the center by the letters “U.S.”, which replace the eagle, continuing with more scrolls of acanthus leaves ending at the maker mark just above the ricasso. The blade is marked “Ames Mfg. Co, / Chicopee / Mass.” With beautiful acid etched lettering. The blade meets the hilt, which is of cast brass, featuring a guard adorned with open floral and foliate scrolls. The quillon is decorated with a leaf, as well as swirl designs on either side. The grip features a grooved, center-swelled wooden handle wrapped in high quality sharkskin. The skin is tightly bound to the grip with double twisted brass wire that fits neatly in the grooves of the handle. The tiered brass pommel is decorated with a flower and laurel leaves. The sword is complete with its gilted brass scabbard which features brass mounts and a brass drag. Besides the presentation, the scabbard is marked “Made by / Ames Mfg. Co. / Chicopee Mass.” On the reverse between the throat and upper mount. The mounts are beautifully cast and chased and the upper mount features a spread winged eagle with its breast protected by a patriotic shield. The middle mount contains a panoply of arms. The lower mount is plain, but there is a magnificent engraving of a panoply of arms, topped with a shining liberty cap, and more engraved scrollwork in between the middle and lower mounts. CONDITION: The blade exhibits a pleasing light gray patina and still retains some of its shine. Click here to see the full description.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF GEORGE C. JOSLIN 15TH MASSACHUSETTS, COMMANDED THE REGIMENT AT GE

Lot #1209 (Sale Order 209 of 679)

George Clesson Joslin had three months service as second lieutenant of the 3rd Battalion of Rifles of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, from April 17 to August 3, 1861. During this time, he also helped organize Company I of the 15th Massachusetts Volunteers in July, joined it for duty and enrolled at Worcester on August 3, and was commissioned its Captain 1n August, 1861. The regiment was a fighting unit in the Second Corps, Army of the Potomac, losing a staggering 14 officers and 227 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded in three year’s service alone. The 15th Massachusetts suffered heavy casualties at Balls Bluff, the debacle of a failed raid lead by Brigadier General Charles Pomeroy Stone which resulted in the death of Edward Dickinson Baker, the only United States Senator ever killed in battle, on October 1861. The regiment then fought its way up the Peninsula, and back down again, under McClellan in 1862, taking casualties at Fair Oaks, Savage Station, Nelson’s Farm and elsewhere. In September 1862, Joslin was wounded in the right arm at Antietam where the regiment lost over half of its strength with 330 killed and wounded out of 606 on the field. Their monument at Antietam appropriately features a defiant, wounded lion. Joslin was on furlough for his wound until the end of the year but returned to be promoted Major in February 1863, to date November 13, 1862. He was promoted again, to Lieutenant Colonel in May, dating to April 17, 1863. The regiment took part in the Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville campaigns, but were at the center of battle again at Gettysburg, as part of Harrow’s brigade, Gibbon’s Division. They fought Wright’s brigade along the Emmitsburg Road near the Codori Farm in advance of the main Second Corps line on July 2 and were roughly handled, with Joslin taking command after Colonel Ward was mortally wounded. Under his leadership on July 3 they helped repulse Pickett’s Charge, fighting Kemper’s troops on Pickett’s right and then rushing in to hit from the flank and drive back Garnett’s and Armistead’s men who had penetrated “the Angle.” The regiment entered the field with a fighting strength of 239 officers and enlisted men, of which they lost 148 in killed, wounded, and missing in just two days of fighting, more than 60 percent. Joslin was on recruiting duty in August and September, but returned to lead the regiment at Bristoe Station in October and during Meade’s advance to Mine Run in late November. He was captured at the picket line on November 28, 1863 while investigating firing, by a Confederate private by the name of W.H. Eskridge, who later recalled taking prisoner a field officer who was deceived by his wearing of a Union overcoat. Once Joslin had surrendered to Eskridge at gunpoint, he asked if the rebel would allow him to surrender his sword to a Confederate officer of equal rank. Eskridge stated that he would allow Joslin to surrender his sword to his commanding officer, Captain Plato Durham. Once at the confederate line, one of Eskridge’s Lieutenants seized Joslin’s sword and Captain Durham ordered that Joslin be taken to their brigade commander, General Robert D. Johnston. Joslin was taken to Johnston, who denied his offer of a handshake, and sent him to the provost guard, but was given over to a Major of the Ordnance Guard. Eskridge’s story became somewhat famous after the war, because he claimed that he captured President Rutherford B. Hayes during the war. Hayes was nowhere near Eskridge in 1863, and the officer in question is without a doubt then Lieutenant Colonel George Joslin. He was confined at Macon and exchanged in August 1864, by which time the regiment had mustered out on July 28 1864. Joslin was mustered out in October retroactively to July 29, 1864 as Lieutenant Colonel, though with a commission as colonel in his pocket dating to July 4, 1863, as he was promoted immediately after his valiant actions during the Battle of Gettysburg. He lived in Boston after the war, serving as post commander of GAR Post #2, Dahlgren Post, and died in 1916. This is a sword with superb history that was carried throughout the war by a fighting officer. The sword itself is a high quality and worthy of presentation to a respected officer. The presentation is located on the upper mount and reads "Presented to / Capt. Geo. C. Joslin / Co. I / 15th Regt. M.V. . BY / his friends in / Worcester & Webster. Mass. / 1861." The blade exhibits a slight curve with a fuller that extends to the hilt. The etchings on the blade are outstanding and feature a Damascus steel design. The decorative designs begin on the obverse with oak leaves and acorns followed by a panoply of arms that are intertwined with vegetation that is halted at a spread winged federal eagle with an array of stars between its wings.

US CIVIL WAR MILITIA STYLE NCO PRESENTATION SWORD OF 69TH NEW YORK IRISH BRIGADE CORPORAL DAVID KENN

Lot #1210 (Sale Order 210 of 679)

This is a standard form of sword used by noncommissioned officers in the New York militia at the beginning of the Civil War, which corresponds with the only viable candidate, David Kennedy (also “Kenedy,”) who mustered in November 7, 1861, as a corporal in Company I of the 69th New York, which departed New York City on November 18, 1861, which is also the date of the presentation. The most famous of the Civil War Irish regiments, the 69th Volunteers had as its nucleus the 69th New York State Militia. The “P.G.s“ from the presentation are likely members of the Peterson Guard, or Peterson Light Guard, another known New York City militia organization, which did not succeed in raising enough men to enter the volunteer service as a unit. Kennedy was placed on duty as brigade commissary clerk in June 1862. He was transferred to Company I as a private in June 1863, but remained on duty as part of the brigade staff until he mustered out in front of Petersburg September 18, 1864. The regiment and brigade need no introduction to collectors, having seen service with the Army of the Potomac from 1861 onwards, on the Peninsula, at Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg and many other fields in the thick of the fighting. There is an article included within the binder of research that accompanies the sword that states an Irish Brigade Commissary Sergeant was promoted for bravery for fighting during Antietam. This gives testament that when needed, soldiers of different assignments would be called into battle if necessary. The muster roles place Kennedy at all of these major engagements. In all of the Union Army, the regiment had a higher percentage of killed during the Civil War. Any piece associated with this unit is rare. Although the sword manufacturer is not visibly marked, a similar example in Thillmann's book "Civil War Army Swords", page 540, is listed as an Ames late style NCO sword. The presentation is located on the upper mount and reads " Presented to / David Kennedy / by the / P.G.s" / New York Nov. 13th 1861". Once unsheathed, the blade exhibits etchings that are commonly encountered on other Ames swords. The etchings on the obverse begin with a thin foliate branch, followed by a typical Ames style eagle, with its wings spread, perched on arrows and branches, holding a banner that reads "E Pluribus Unum" within its beak. The eagle is followed by two crossed flags with a liberty cap perched on a pole in between them, ending with a bundle of oak leaves and acorns that disappear behind the shell shaped langets. The reverse exhibits similar motifs, featuring oak leaved and acorns that are followed by two crossed flags with a liberty cap perched on a pole in between them, continuing to floral vines that morph into more oak leaves and acorns that disappear behind the shell shaped langet. The hilt features a cruciform guard that is cast and stippled, a reeded bone grip, and an ornate knight's head pommel. The sword is complete with its leather scabbard which features brass mounts. The mounts are left unadorned except for the presentation on the upper mount. CONDITION: The blade remains bright and exhibits very light areas of pitting, scattered scratches, and a few chips along both edges. The cross guard, reeded bone grip, and pommel exhibit dark spots. The scabbard leather exhibits scattered cracks and there is a weak spot just below the drag. The brass exhibits a pleasing dark patina with only a few small areas retaining the original gilt. Overall very good. The sword is accompanied by a binder of research that contains the muster roles of Kennedy as well as articles and histories of the regiment. This is a nice militia style presentation sword that was presented to an NCO that served with one of the most recognized units of the Civil War.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF LIEUTENANT THOMAS G. COLT, 37TH MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY

Lot #1211 (Sale Order 211 of 679)

Thomas Goldthwait Colt made his reputation largely as an adjutant, that is an executive officer, at the regimental and brigade level, aiding not on only in administrative matters, but in governing of troops under fire and was recommended for two promotions for his conduct on the battlefield. He served first as a private in the 10th Massachusetts, enlisting at age 19 and mustering into Company D on June 21, 1861. His background as a clerk secured him a post as the Colonel’s clerk, a mounted orderly for him while acting brigade commander, and as acting brigade commissary sergeant in May and part of June during the Peninsula Campaign, where the regiment was heavily engaged at Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill. He was discharged on September 30, 1862 for a promotion to First Lieutenant and Adjutant of the 37th Massachusetts Infantry, mustering as of September 3, 1862. The regiment served in the 6th Corps, Army of the Potomac, and in Fall 1864, in the Army of the Shenandoah, fighting under Sheridan, before returning to the Petersburg front and where it was heavily involved in the siege and the pursuit of Lee to Appomattox. The 37th Massachusetts lost 4 officers and 165 men killed or mortally wounded in battles such as Gettysburg, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Winchester, Hatcher’s Run, and Sailor’s Creek, where the regiment was engaged in hand-to-hand combat as the retreating Confederates tried to break loose of their Union pursuers. The Confederate efforts at Sailor’s Creek proved to be futile, as the 37th Massachusetts’ firepower with their Spencer rifles showed superiority. It was also that during this battle that the 37th Massachusetts Regiment was credited with capturing Confederate Major General George Washington Custis Lee, eldest son of General Robert E. Lee. On April 17, 1865, Brigade commander Edwards recommended Colt for two brevet promotions: to major, “for marked gallantry, April 2, 1865,” the final assault on Petersburg, and to Lieutenant Colonel “for meritorious services at the battle of Little Sailor’s Creek, Va., April 6, 1865.” This was consolidated by the division commander into a brevet to major for both actions which were “for marked gallantry and meritorious services in the assault on the enemy’s works near Petersburg, April 2, 1865, and at the battle of Little Sailor’s Creek, Va., April 6, 1865” The promotion was conferred in August, to date April 6, 1865. Colt resigned his regimental post in late May 1865 to accept an appointment as Assistant Adjutant General U.S. Volunteers, that is, a federal rather than state post, and from which he was honorably mustered out on June 28, 1865. Throughout his service, Captain Colt was one of the most popular officers in the regiment on account of his "unwavering courage, quick military genius, warm social nature, and untiring interest in the welfare of all with whom he came in contact." After the war, he returned to his home in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where he retained a strong interest in all that related to his regiment. Colt passed away at the young age of 41 from pneumonia on May 10, 1883. He was deeply mourned by a wide circle of people including his comrades whom he lead into battle and the friends he made during his short time on earth. Although Colt is now gone, his sword has survived and is a testament to his leadership. The presentation is located under the guard and reads "1st Lt. T.G. Colt Adjutant 37th Reg. Ms. Inf." Once unsheathed, the blade exhibits a slight curve and etched decorations. The decorations are muted by the dark gray patina and have faded over time. The designs remain somewhat noticeable, and the obverse reveals scrolled acanthus leaves that swirl towards a faint eagle, only identified by its spread wings behind a patriotic shield. The eagle is followed by a panoply of arms, more acanthus scrolls, and another panoply, the decorations ending with decorative lines and finally a palmette just above the ricasso. The reverse also exhibits acanthus scrolls that are halted by a panoply which lead to the letters "U.S." followed by more acanthus leaves, another panoply, ending with decorative lines and a small palmette. The hilt features a cast brass guard that is decorated with open foliate scrollwork which flanks the staff and field "US". The quillon features arabesque lines and a back that mimics a large laurel leaf. The guard is followed by the grip, with a center-swelled wooden handle wrapped in high quality sharkskin. The skin is tightly bound to the grip with brass wire that fits neatly in the grooves of the handle. The brass pommel is decorated with laurel leaves and features a tiered cap. The sword is complete with its steel scabbard that features unadorned brass mounts. CONDITION: The blade exhibits a dark gray patina with scattered pitting throughout its length.

US CIVIL WAR HIGH GRADE PRESENTATION SWORD OF LT. MICHAEL C. ADLER, 32ND OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

Lot #1212 (Sale Order 212 of 679)

Michael Adler was a hard-fought soldier. Born in 1841, he enlisted at age 20 and mustered into Company D, 32nd Ohio on August 2, 1861. He served throughout the entire war with the company, mustering out with them on July 20, 1865, having risen through the ranks of corporal, sergeant, first sergeant, and second lieutenant, well meriting the presentation of this sword by his comrades. The regiment was organized near Mansfield, officially mustered in on August 31, 1861 and lost 5 officers and 99 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded during almost 4 years of service starting in West Virginia, fighting Jackson in the Valley, seeing action and taking casualties in engagements such as McDowell, Cross Keys, and Port Republic. They were caught up in the surrender of Harpers Ferry in 1862, despite losing 150 men in defense of the post, but were exchanged in January 1863 and returned to service in the western theatre, seeing more action with the 17th Corps at Vicksburg and Champion’s Hill, where they captured a battery in a bayonet charge. The regiment also engaged rebel forces at battles in Mississippi through 1863 and early 1864, followed by the Atlanta campaign, with fighting at Kennesaw Mountain and the combat around the city. Adler and the regiment then helped break the back of the Confederacy and were involved with Sherman’s March to the Sea, and the Campaign of the Carolinas, including fighting at Fayetteville and Bentonville. Although the Civil War officially ended on April 9, 1865 Confederate forces under Johnston’s command were still waging war against the North well after Lee’s surrender. Sherman and the forces under his command were relentlessly pursuing Confederate forces commanded by General Johnston through North Carolina. The men of the 32nd Ohio remained active until the very end in the Carolinas under fears that Confederate soldiers of Johnston’s army might quietly disband and fight a guerrilla war. The regiment was present in North Carolina when General Joseph Johnston signed the surrender of his army on April 26, 1865. This completed the second largest surrender of Confederate soldiers putting an end to any major organized fighting. After the war, Adler returned to Ohio and lived in Canton, where he died in 1886. The sword reflects the admiration that the men under Adler's command must have had for him. The presentation is between the upper and middle mounts and reads "Presented to / Lieut. M. Adler / By the Members of Co. D. / 32. O.V.V.I. June. 27th 1865." Once unsheathed, the sword reveals etched decorations that adorn the blade. The obverse begins with floral motifs that morph into acanthus leaves which flow the length of the blade and are interrupted by a banner that reads "E PLURIBUS UNUM" above a spread winged eagle with a patriotic shield covering its breast. The eagle is followed by a panoply of arms, more acanthus leaves, another patriotic panoply resting above a banner that is etched with the words "IRON PROOF" just above the ricasso that is stamped "EISENHAUER". The revere of the blade is similarly etched with sections of acanthus leaves that are separated by panoplies which contain flags, cannons, shields, and swords. The letters "U.S." are etched at the center and the decorations end with a palmette just above the ricasso that is marked "F. HORTSER / SOLINGEN". The hilt is of cast brass and features a guard that is adorned with foliate and floral scrolls which are divided by the staff and field "US". The guard is followed by the brass grip which features Lady Liberty equipped with a sword and shield at her side next to her flowing dress as she stands underneath 11 stars. Her reverse features a beautiful floral vignette. More floral and patriotic designs flow up to the pommel that features a petaled border with a purple faceted stone pommel cap. The silver washed scabbard nicely compliments the sword and features elegantly cast brass mounts. The upper mount features another depiction of Lady Liberty, standing strong with her shield and sword at rest with a palmette above her head. The middle mount features a marching Zouave in full gear, also below a palmette. The drag features floral designs with a few budding flowers contained in a floral vignette and other decorations towards the tip. CONDITION: The blade exhibits a pleasing gray patina with areas of pitting, especially near the tip. There is light edge wear and scattered scratches. The hilt exhibits areas of oxidation which is evident around the edges of the decorations. The scabbard also exhibits slight oxidation around the brass decorations along with scattered scratches and dings. There are several small dents that travel up the length of the scabbard after the middle mount. The drag screw is deformed and the throat wobbles slightly. This is an ornate sword that reflects the respect of a distinguished officer. Overall very good. JLD Blade Length: 32" Overall Length: 38" Paperwork: Research

US CIVIL WAR AMES MODEL 1840 PAYMASTER SWORD ATTRIBUTED TO MAJOR GENERAL BRICE.

Lot #1213 (Sale Order 213 of 679)

Major General Benjamin W. Brice is a lesser known American General but still imprinted a significant impact on United States military history. Brice was born in West Virginia on November 30, 1809. He entered the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1825. Upon Brice's graduation, his future did not look so bright, as he graduated near the bottom of his class. Despite the rough start to his military career, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant and served as a member of the 3rd Infantry Regiment on frontier duty at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. Some of his early military exploits include his service during the Black Hawk War expedition against the Sac Indians in 1831. A year later in 1832, Brice left the Army and moved to Ohio in order to practice law where he was elected as an associate judge of the court of Licking County, Ohio and was later appointed as Adjutant General of the state militia where he served until 1847 when he resigned in order to re-enter the Army so he could serve in the American Mexican War. Brice, serving with the rank of Major, became the United States Army Paymaster under President James K. Polk and served for 2 years and 1 day from March 3, 1847, to March 4, 1849. Although his position was by no means on the front lines, he was still well traveled throughout the war and saw service at Camargo in 1847, Monterrey, Saltillo, and Brazos Island in 1848. During the last year of the war he was stationed at Fort Brown, Texas, from 1848 until the end of the war in 1849. After the war his command was disbanded and Brice was reappointed as Major in 1852, and served in the pay department and as Paymaster in a variety of southern and western locations including Fort Fillmore, New Orleans, Fort Bliss, and Florida. In 1859, Brice was made Paymaster of the Western Department under General David Hunter at Fort Leavenworth, Missouri, where he would fill this position until the outbreak of the rebellion. During the Civil War, Brice became Paymaster General of the District of Kansas and the Territories. In 1862, he became chief of the pay district embracing New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware, headquartered at Baltimore, Maryland, and served until 1864. Brice was briefly promoted to Brigadier General on March 22, 1862, but the promotion was tabled by Congress on July 16, 1862, and Brice reverted to his regular army rank of major. Towards the end of the war on November 29, 1864, Brice was sent to Washington in order to take over as the head of the Pay Department. President Lincoln nominated Brice for appointment as brevet brigadier general on December 12, 1864. The Senate confirmed the appointment on February 20, 1865. After the Civil War, President Andrew Johnson nominated Brice for appointment as brevet major general on March 8, 1866. Brice remained in charge of the Pay Department in Washington D.C. through the rest of the 1860s until 1872, when he retired. Brice died in 1892 and was interred in Washington leaving behind a lengthy and successful career that started with him at the bottom of his class at West Point. Brice is among the group of accomplished Washington staff officers whose achievements are largely overlooked. The Pay Department were regulated to wear their own unique swords and this is a nice example of a Model 1840 Paymaster sword that was manufactured by Ames. As is regulation, the blade is oval in cross section, without a fuller, double edged, and with a spearpoint. The blade is ornately decorated and features foliate designs with scrolls of acanthus leaves that travel up the blade and swirl around patriotic motifs including swords, staffs, and panoplies. The decorations end on the obverse with "N.P. Ames / Cutler / Cabotville / Mass" etched just above a palmette. This marking makes the sword rare because of the Ames markings and only 4 Paymaster Officers were in the Army from 1842 -1847. The reverse blade exhibits similar acanthus scrolls and patriotic motifs that end with etched oak leaves and acorns. The center of the blade is etched with the letters "U.S. Pay Department" contained in a vignette. The crossguard is equally ornate and is designed as branches of formed scrolling acanthus leaves. There are shield shaped langets that extend downward towards the blade. The reverse langet is blank and the obverse contains a silvered “PD” above a cluster of thirteen stars, all bordered by bellflower garland. The grip is thickly cast and chased in floral motifs seeming to spring out of an urn shaped flowering bulb at the base of the grip. This is followed by long ovular shaped panels on either side, the reverse of which is correctly blank and the obverse is filled with a perched eagle gripping arrows and olive branches in its talons and flanked by branches of a wreath.

US CIVIL WAR MODEL 1840 MEDICAL OFFICER PRESENTATION SWORD OF DR. THEODORE C. WALLACE, SURGEON 61ST

Lot #1214 (Sale Order 214 of 679)

Theodore C. Wallace enrolled in the 93rd New York for 3 years’ service at age the age of 33 and mustered in as Assistant Surgeon to the regiment on December 12, 1861. Wallace was significantly older than most recruits, as the average age of soldiers fighting in the Union Army was 25 years old. However, as a man of medicine, his previous experience would have been quite desirable considering the bloody turnout of the war. While he was with the 93rd New York, the regiment served in the 4th Army Corps in the Peninsula Campaign and thereafter in the provost guard, particularly as headquarters guard for the Army of the Potomac. Wallace mustered out of the regiment for promotion to Surgeon of the 61st New York on March, 29 1863, with rank from March 11, 1863. This was a hard fighting unit in the 2nd Army Corps. His records indicate he was present at Chancellorsville with the division field hospital during the battle in which a fierce Union attack was met in force with a bloody defeat. Wallace is also marked present on the regimental rolls from June in to August 1863, which places him at Gettysburg, where the regiment, as part of Caldwell’s division fought in the maelstrom of the famous Wheatfield on July 2, as units were funneled in to halt Longstreet’s attack on the Union left. The fighting around the Wheatfield was intense, resulting in the collapse of the Union line and heavy casualties. It was during this engagement that General Samuel Zook was shot from his horse while leading his brigade forward. Zook succumbed to his wounds at a field hospital the next day and was 1 of 4 Union generals killed during the battle. Wallace is thus likely1 of the 2 regimental medical officers mentioned by the wounded Lt. Charles Fuller, 61st New York, in the field hospital. In December 1863, Wallace was forced to take a leave of absence “By reason of exposure to very incumbent weather in the absence of tents, incurred a severe cold which produced violent inflammation of the internal ear followed by profuse inflammation and rupture of the drums of the ear producing almost total deafness.”. Wallace remained with the regiment until discharged on May, 5 1864. He continued to practice medicine after the war and worked as a Physician where he resided in Cambridge, New York. Wallace died of pneumonia on March 5, 1901 at the age of 71. This medical officer’s sword was regulation for both Assistant Surgeons and full Surgeons, making it appropriate for him to carry in both regimental assignments. This sword is scarce, with only 3 officers at most carrying them, in theory, in a regiment at any one time and 30 some other officers carrying other patterns. The sword is also inscribed to Wallace on the scabbard and on the reverse langet. The presentation is located on the scabbard and reads "T.C. Wallace. M.D. / 93rd Reg't. N.Y.V." As is regulation, the blade is oval in cross-section, without a fuller, double edged and with a spearpoint. The blade is ornately decorated and features foliate designs with scrolls of acanthus leaves that travel up the blade and swirl around patriotic motifs including swords, staffs, and panoplies. The acanthus leaves on the obverse blade are interrupted with a banner that reads "E Pluribus Unum" followed by a spread winged federal eagle adorned with a patriotic shield that protects its breast. The reverse features the letters "U.S." at the center of the blade, replacing the eagle. The reverse ricasso is marked "Klingenthal" in classic cursive lettering along with a B crown stamp. The obverse is also marked with Klingenthal cursive and a shield stamp. The crossguard is equally ornate and is designed as branches of formed scrolling acanthus leaves. There are 2 shield shaped langets that extend downward towards the blade. The reverse langet is inscribed with Wallace's initials "T.C.W." and the obverse contains a silvered “MS”, for Medical Staff, above a cluster of 6 stars, all bordered by bellflower garland. The grip is thickly cast and chased in floral motifs seeming to spring out of an urn shaped flowering bulb at the base of the grip. The ferrule is appropriately stamped stamped "E.L." under 3 punched stars, for E. Leon, who was an assembler in Paris, France. This is followed by 2 circular shaped vignettes, 1 on each side, which each contains a spread winged eagle. The pommel is topped by an acorn shaped finial. The sword is complete with its gilt brass scabbard which features deeply cast and chased floral mounts at the throat, middle carrying ring, and drag. The upper mount features a flower that is contained in a arabesque shaped dome with the middle mount featuring a thin branch lush with leaved and berries. The drag features thick oak leaves which are flanked by small acorns. Click here to see the full description.

TOUCHING CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF LT. WILLIAM H. MILLSTEAD, 26TH NEW YORK STATE VOLUNTEERS, P

Lot #1215 (Sale Order 215 of 679)

This is a touching presentation made by a grieving father to the devoted friend of his son, slain at Fredericksburg. William Millstead (also Milstead and Millsted in various records) enlisted at age 19 in Rome, New York, on August 14, 1861 and mustered into Company I of the 26th New York, 2 year regiment, on August 20, 1861 as a private. Initially posted to Washington, the regiment joined the 3rd Corps, Army of Virginia in June 1862, was present at Cedar Mountain, and took heavy casualties at Second Manassas, losing 169 killed, wounded, and missing. The regiment was transferred into the 1st Corps, Army of the Potomac and they fought again at South Mountain and Antietam, losing 66 men. Several months later, the regiment would again engage enemy forces, this time at the battle of Fredericksburg. This battle, which prompted Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin to tell President Lincoln "It was not a battle, it was a butchery” after his battlefield tour, was the worst engagement for the 26th New York as they suffered heavily, losing 170 of 300 engaged, over half the regiment. It was luckily on picket duty during Chancellorsville, and mustered out in late May 1863. Millstead received the sword as a token of appreciation from Judge William Johnson Bacon, father of William K. Bacon, Adjutant of the 26th New York, who was mortally wounded at Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862 and died 3 days later. Millstead had accompanied the coffin bearing his remains to Washington on December 17, 1863 expecting he would encounter Bacon’s father there or arrange to have the body forwarded to New York. By sheer chance, he was met in Alexandria by a family friend of Judge Bacon, who arrived shortly after, unable to proceed further that day in an effort to see his son, whom he knew to be gravely wounded. In gratitude for Millstead’s devotion, Bacon used his political influence to obtain a first lieutenant’s commission for his son’s “young friend,” which was signed just 3 days later, December 20, 1862, giving Millstead rank from October. A local newspaper recorded not only the commission as a token of regard, but the gift of the sword on New Year’s Day. After mustering out in late May 1863, Millstead took a position in the War Department as a clerk, joining the regular army as a private in order to do so. While living in Washington he chanced to be in Ford’s Theatre on the night Lincoln was shot and witnessed the assassination. Millstead’s wife’s pension file asserts this, as it states Millstead was at the assassination of Lincoln at Ford’s Theater. Timothy S. Good’s book “We Saw Lincoln Shot” also supports this as the book states on page 139 “The theater was full of soldiers” and also states that many soldiers from the War Department were present in the audience. In later years Millstead lived in Chicago and was a member of Grant Post #28 G.A.R. in that city. He died there in January 1930 and was buried in Evanston. This is truly a historic sword, not only from a soldier who was part of a hard-fought regiment, but from a man who witnessed one of the most significant events of the 19th century. The sword itself is a gratifying presentation and merits as a gift of thanks from a grieving father. The presentation is located on the upper mount on either side of the band and reads "Presented to / Lieut. Wm. H. / Millstead / by the Father / of / Adjt. Wm. H. Bacon / 26 Regt. N.Y.S.V / Jan. 1 1863." The presentation is documented by a copy of the Utica newspaper with the same presentation and spelling of his last name. Once unsheathed, the sword exhibits a bright blade that is nearly devoid of decoration except for beautiful etched designs at the center of the blade. The obverse exhibits a spread winged federal eagle that is perched on a banner and olive branches, contained in a foliate vignette. The reverse exhibits the bold letters "U.S." also contained in a foliate vignette. The sword was manufactured by Schuyler, Hartley, & Graham, New York, and is appropriately etched on the obverse ricasso. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the W. Clauberg Solingen knight. The blade also features a post-War lightly acid etched museum ID from when the sword was donated to a museum by Millstead's widow in 1938. The sword features a large basket hilt that is similar to a staff and field sword, but lacks the letters "US". The guard is decorated with typical acanthus and floral scrolls. The grip features a grooved, center-swelled wooden handle wrapped in high quality sharkskin. The skin is tightly bound to the grip with brass wire that fits neatly in the grooves of the handle.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF LIEUTENANT NELSON B. GILBERT, 1ST CONNECTICUT HEAVY ARTILLERY.

Lot #1216 (Sale Order 216 of 679)

Nelson B. Gilbert enlisted in the Army on March 1, 1862 in Chester, Connecticut and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant of Company H, 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery on May 22, 1861. He was promoted to First Lieutenant on December 11, 1863, transferred to Company C on January 15, 1864 and was discharged February 15, 1864. He re-enlisted in the 3rd Connecticut Light Artillery October 27 1864, first as a Second Lieutenant and was promoted back to First Lieutenant on December 6, 1864. He served with the 3rd Connecticut Light Artillery until he mustered out in Virginia on June 23, 1865. The 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery first served as infantry and were designated the 4th Connecticut Volunteers. In January 1862 they added artillery training to their regiment before joining the Peninsula Campaign in April 1862 as part McClellan’s siege train. The 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery was famous for having a feared dictator mortar, which shot a 200 pound exploding shell, mounted on a train car. At the siege of Yorktown Company H served in Battery No. 2, with 10 heavy guns. After Yorktown, 10 of the companies, including Gilbert’s, returned to infantry service in the 5th Corps, with detachments sent to temporarily fill regular army batteries during the campaign, with occasional calls for individual companies to serve heavy guns at New Bridge, Goldings Farm, Malvern Hill, and at Harrison’s Landing. Upon their return to Alexandria, they were posted to forts around Washington until the 1864 campaign, with some companies assigned field service, such as at Fredericksburg. When he re-enlisted in the 3rd Connecticut Light Battery in 1864 Gilbert rejoined a number of comrades from the 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery. They were posted to the defenses of City Point, Grant’s army headquarters, a massive supply depot and transportation hub, in November 1864, manning 4 different redoubts, and armed and equipped as infantry as well as artillery for emergencies. Gilbert acted as adjutant at battery headquarters in Redoubt No. 2, with 8 4 - 1/2" siege guns commanding the railroad. He mustered out with the battery in June 1865. Gilbert passed away on June 17, 1880 in Omaha Nebraska. Gilbert’s unmarked Model 1850 foot officer’s sword is worn, and the presentation is located on the upper mount and reads “Lt. N.B. Gilbert / 1st Arty. C.V.”. Once unsheathed, the blade is revealed and exhibits its etched designs which have been muted by a gray patina. The designs feature geometric and patriotic motifs, and the blade’s obverse features geometric lines followed by an American flag that morphs into scrollwork which is halted by the letters “US” horizontally contained in a decorative vignette. The designs continue with more scrolls and lead to a more American flags and a shield, ending with a banner that reads “E Pluribus Unum” just above the unmarked ricasso. The reverse exhibits similar motifs beginning with more geometric lines ending with a large spread winged eagle with a banner in its beak that reads “E. Pluribus Unum” followed by more geometric designs and a panoply of flags arranged behind a patriotic shield just above the plain ricasso. The ricasso meets the hilt which features a brass guard decorated with open acanthus leaf scrollwork. The hilt also features a brass knucklebow and quillon that is in the form of a rolled leaf. The pommel also features foliate motifs as well as a tiered cap. In between the guard and pommel is the grip which features a grooved, center-swelled wooden handle wrapped in black leather. The leather is tightly bound to the grip with double twisted brass wire that fits neatly in the grooves of the handle. The sword is complete with its leather scabbard that features brass mounts, carry rings, and drag. The mounts are plain except for the inscription. CONDITION: The blade exhibits a dark gray patina and the etched designs have faded along the edge, erasing some of the detail. The eagle is missing its head and half of the “S” in “US” is missing. This wear continues to the ricasso. There are areas of pitting, as well as various chips along the edge of the blade which differentiate in size. The hilt exhibits a dark mustard patina along with scattered dark spots. The brass wire remains right but the grip is loose. The guard also wobbles. The scabbard leather is dry and exhibits grid-like cracking throughout its construction but the seam remains tight. The mounts appear to have been heavily cleaned and do not exhibit consistent patina with the brass components of the hilt. However, the bands and carry rings do exhibit patina that is consistent with the hilt. Click here to see the full description.

US CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD, OIL PAINTING, PHOTO, AND DOCUMENTS OF MAJOR EDWARD R. PARRY 11TH US

Lot #1217 (Sale Order 217 of 679)

Edward Randolph Parry was born at New Hope, Pennsylvania in 1832. As a young adult, he was running a bank with a brother in Mankato, Minnesota, at the beginning of the Civil War. Connections with U.S. Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas gained him a commission as First Lieutenant in the 11th US Infantry dating to May 1861 and he helped recruit for the regiment in Massachusetts, serving briefly with the six companies it fielded at Baltimore Harbor in May 1862. Afterwards, he returned to duty in Boston as Quartermaster of Commissary in charge of prisoners at Fort Warren by November. Consignor notes indicate he made the acquaintance of several Confederate officers at the time and even dined with them after the war. He was assigned to field duty with Company B in time to take part in Grant’s 1864 Campaign, reportedly in command of the regiment at the Battle of Weldon Railroad, in August 1864, a battle in which Union losses far surpassed their Confederate counterparts, but resulted in a Union victory with their supply lines extending putting further strain on Confederate supply lines. Parry was also present in the fighting at Chapel House in October 1864. He received a promotion to captain to date October 14, 1864 and after a brief assignment as Acting Ordnance Officer and Assistant Inspector General in the 8th Corps, was summoned back to the regiment in February 1865, then serving as provost guard at headquarters, Army of the Potomac, placing him on the scene for the final battles of the war. He received a brevet to major for gallant and meritorious services, served on the Retirement Board and other capacities until redesignation of the regiment’s second battalion as the 20th US Infantry in 1866, with which he served in Louisiana during 1867-1868 and Minnesota (Department of Dakota) during 1869-1870. He requested discharge because of his wife’s health and returned to Pennsylvania, where he died at the family estate in 1871, and was survived by his wife and a daughter. He published several letters in Pennsylvania newspapers regarding his experiences on the frontier in Minnesota during the late 1850s. Parry's sword is accompanied by a period oil painting, a CDV of Parry holding this sword, a 1864 Army Register, and 1861 Army Regulations book which are both signed by him. The registrar also acts as a family history, as Parry makes notations of his nine relatives who also served. His sword is the most eye-catching piece of the small archive. The sword was presented to him at the beginning of his military career and the presentation is inscribed on the upper mount and reads "Edward R. Parry. / U.S.A. / May 14. 1861." The "U.S.A." in the inscription is for United States Army. Once unsheathed, the blade reveals sharp frosted etchings. The etchings feature laurel and acanthus leaves that swirl in the form of scrolls and are interrupted by panoplies of bunting and arms. The obverse ricasso is marked "W.H. HORSTMANN & SONS / PHILADELPHIA" on the obverse ricasso as well as "IRON:PROOF" on the spine, that is followed by a stretching vine. The reverse blade features similar designs, starting with a torch that is engulfed with floral motifs rather then flames, that travel the length of the etchings and halted by a panoply of arms and bunting, only to continue towards the ricasso ending with a palmette and geometric lines. The floral motifs flow onto the hilt, as the guard exhibits open foliate scrollwork with a quillon that is decorated with a flower on either side. The grip features a grooved, center-swelled wooden handle wrapped in leather which is tightly bound to the grip with brass wire that fits neatly in the grooves of the handle. The brass pommel is decorated with scrollwork of acanthus leaves and features a tiered cap. The blade is housed in leather scabbard that features unrelieved brass mounts, except for the presentation. CONDITION: The blade has been very well preserved and retains its original polished bright sheen with whet etchings. There are scattered areas of light pitting but the blade presents nicely. The guard exhibits darkened spots and the rest of the hilt exhibits a dark mustard patina. The grip is in superb condition and the brass wire remains tight. The scabbard mounts exhibit a similar mustard patina with a brownish hue around the edges of the throat, and ring mounts. Click here to see the full description.

7TH CAVALRY UNIT MARKED MODEL 1860 CAVALRY SABER CARRIED BY EDWARD MATHEY, COMMANDING OFFICER COMPAN

Lot #1218 (Sale Order 218 of 679)

Born in France, Edward Gustave Mathey enlisted as First Sergeant in Company C, 17th Indiana on May 31, 1861, was promoted to Second Lieutenant on May 1, 1862, and resigned August 10, 1862, due to taking a commission in the 81st Indiana as of September 1, 1862. With that regiment he saw action at Chickamauga in 1863, and in 1864 at Resaca, Kennesaw, Marietta, Atlanta, Jonesborough, Franklin, and Nashville. He was promoted to 1st Lieutenant on March 21, 1863, Captain November 8, 1863, and Major September 12, 1864. He was honorably mustered out on June 13, 1865, and received a commission as Second Lieutenant in the newly formed 7th U.S. Cavalry on September 24, 1867, with promotion to First Lieutenant on May 10, 1870. He is best known for his role at the Battle of Little Big Horn where, in command of Company B, he served as escort to the pack train, bringing provisions and the regiment’s reserve ammunition up to meet Major Frederick Benteen’s battalion and the shattered battalion of Reno, in time to endure the siege of their hilltop position until rescued by General Alfred Terry’s column on June 27, 1876. Mathey was subsequently promoted to Captain on September 30, 1877 and retired as a Major on December 11, 1896. Although retired in 1896, he kept up his military connections, being advanced to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in 1904, and passed away ten years later, in 1915 in Colorado. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The lot consists of four (4) pieces: (A) Mathey’s Model 1860 cavalry saber. The saber features a slightly curved blade with visible markings on the ricasso that read “US / C.E.W. / 1862” on the obverse and “D. J. Millard Clayville, NY.” On the reverse. The blade is followed by a brass hilt which has since been nickeled. The grip features a grooved, center-swelled wooden handle wrapped in black leather which is tightly bound to the grip with double twisted brass wire that fits neatly in the grooves of the handle. The sword is complete with its original scabbard featuring brass mounts and two carry rings which matches the nickel finish of the sword. This sword is not only a scarce, legitimately identified saber carried by an officer of the 7th Cavalry present at the Little Big Horn, it bears company, regimental, and individual rack markings indicating prior issue to enlisted men in the 7th Cavalry, all in companies in Custer’s battalion in the fight. The ricasso is stamped “C” and “7" over “4” over the maker’s mark, indicating issue to Tom Custer’s Company C, trooper rack #4, with the low rack number possibly indicating issue to one of Tom Custer’s sergeants. In addition, the knucklebow is stamped 7 / L / 28 and 72, indicating issue in Calhoun’s Company L, first to the trooper with rack number 28 and then to trooper with rack number 72, either before or after its use in Company C. In both cases this use would be prior to Mathey’s acquisition of the saber, likely for field use in preference to the much lighter, and hardly effective, M1872 cavalry officer’s saber. Mathey retained the saber as a memento after retirement, along with his M1872 officer’s saber, which surfaced from his estate at the same time and were both sold at Cowan's auctions in 2006. CONDITION: The edge of blade is rough and exhibits various chips which differentiate in size. There is recession of the nickel finish along the edge of blade, exposing the original steel. The hilt exhibits slight yellowing. The grip exhibits leather loss, exposing the wood handle. About half of the leather remains and there are chips in the exposed wood. The scabbard retains most of its nickel finish with scattered light abrasions. One of the brass carrying rings on the scabbard has been relocated backward approximately 4”. He had the scabbard altered for wear on a 1902 style belt by moving one ring and the sword plated. Overall good. Mathey may have had the sword re-nickeled in order to keep up with current regulations, despite his retirement several years prior, as he could have had this and other swords as decorations at his residence. (B) Mathey’s commission to Captain dated September 30, 1877. The document measures approximately 19” x 15” and is contained in a large plastic sleeve. CONDITION: The commission was once folded and exhibits creases and slight wrinkles. There are scattered areas of water damage and staining, especially around the bottom edges. The print and writing remain legible but the ink exhibits signs of fading. Overall good. (C) Brass tag marked “MATHEY” on the obverse and “7 CAV” on the reverse, CONDITION: Excellent. (D) Cabinet card of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer. Click here to see the full description.

ELEGANT 1860 STYLE OFFICER'S SWORD PRESENTED TO WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN BY THE SPANISH GOVERMENT IN

Lot #1219 (Sale Order 219 of 679)

William Tecumseh Sherman is both loved and criticized, as he achieved recognition for his superb military strategy and leadership, and is equally disapproved of for the harshness of some of his military campaigns. Born in Ohio, Sherman graduated West Point in 1840, served in California during the Mexican-American War, and resigned in 1853. In 1859 he became superintendent of a Louisiana academy, now LSU, a position from which he resigned when the state seceded from the Union. He returned to the army as a Colonel in May 1861 and shortly thereafter a brigadier general of volunteers, commanding a brigade at first Bull Run, and then transferred to the western theatre. He forged a close partnership with Grant, serving under him in 1862 and 1863 at Forts Henry and Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, and the Chattanooga campaign. In 1864, Sherman succeeded Grant as commander in the Western Theater, out-maneuvered or defeated both Johnston and Hood to capture Atlanta and led the March to the Sea through Georgia and take Savannah and then conducted the campaign of the Carolinas. His victories helped secure Lincoln’s re-election and undermined the ability and willingness of the Confederacy to continue fighting. Ironically, his surrender terms to his enemies at the end of the war were considered too generous. Sherman progressed through the grades of brigadier general and major general both of volunteers and in the regular army. When Grant became President 1869, Sherman succeeded him as commanding general from 1869 until 1883. He refused to be drawn into party politics and in 1875 published his memoirs, which became one of the best-known first-hand accounts of the Civil War. During his illustrious career, Sherman received many gifts from across the world as tokens of respect and admiration. He spent the first year after he was appointed Commanding General of the Army traveling around Europe and the Middle East from 1871-1872. The 1871 date of the presentation corresponds with Sherman’s ten-month tour of Europe and the Mediterranean from November 1871 to September 1872, where Spain was the first stop, visiting Madeira, Cadiz, and Gibraltar courtesy of the U.S.S. Wabash, followed by, “a general tour of Spain to Bourdeaux” by land and then through southern France, Italy, and on to Egypt, Constantinople and Sebastopol. This sword was most likely gifted to Sherman during his visit to Spain. The presentation is located on the blade and reads “AL GENERAL EN GEFE / DEL EJERCITO AMERICANO SHERMAN” (TO THE GENERAL IN CHIEF OF THE AMERICAN ARMY SHERMAN) on the obverse of the blade and “FABRICA DE TOLEDO 1871.” (TOLEDO FACTORY 1871) on the reverse. The blade is double edged and ends with a spearpoint. Referring to the blade as ornate is an understatement. The designs feature panoplies of arms and armor, foliate scrolls, and profile depictions of Spanish conquistadors. Just before the guard, is a spread winged eagle on the obverse, and a patriotic shield on the reverse, tying the Spanish and American motifs together. The hilt is constructed of brass which is cast and chased, and features decorations that nearly overshadow the blade. The guard features a soaring eagle with a patriotic shield protecting its breast, as it carries olive branches and arrows gripped between its talons. The counterguard is plain on the obverse but is adorned with oak leaves with acorns overtop of 16 stars. The quillon is cast and designed as scrolls of acanthus leaves. After the guard is a ferrule which is adorned with the faces of blaring women and the head of an eagle. Complementing the ferrule is the brass knucklebow, which features foliate scrolls and the upper body of a female warrior which is below the head of a wolf. Finally, the pommel is in the shape of an arabesque dome which is decorated with various designs. Between the brass components of the hilt is a fluted wood grip with brass wire neatly fitted in the grooves. The sword is complete with its scabbard, which is constructed of blued steel and brass mounts that depict laurel leaves with two carry rings. CONDITION: The sword presents just as well as it did to Sherman in 1871. The blade remains bright and the tip retains its point. Aging is evident on the length of the spine. There are no chips along the edge. The beautiful gold washed decorations remain nearly unmolested. The guard retains most of its gilt but exhibits a light patina. The grip is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. Brass wire remains tightly secured to the grip. The scabbard exhibits pitting throughout its length and exhibits a chocolate patina through the remaining blued surface. The mounts retain most of their gilt. Overall excellent. The sword comes with a display case that was provided by the consigner. Click here to see the full description.

WONDERFUL CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION DRUM, FIRST MASS HEAVY ARTILLERY, PUBLISHED.

Lot #1220 (Sale Order 220 of 679)

This historic Civil War drum has strong visual appeal, with beautiful paint and a beautiful silver presentation plaque dated 1862, giving it to a drummer who enlisted at age 15 in 1861 and served with the regiment throughout the war, including its service as infantry at Harris Farm, near Spottsylvania, in 1864, where it lost a stunning 366 officers and men killed or wounded. Once in the Flayderman collection, this drum was published in Caba's U.S. Military Drums as Plate 19. The shell bears a large oval painting of the state capitol at top, with trees reflecting in the water across the middle ground, which morphs into the skyline of a city, harbor, and walled fortress with cannon and a U.S. flag atop a tall flag pole. Caba suggests the green foliage of the tree represents the famed Liberty Tree. The lower view is likely looking out over Boston Harbor. Superimposed on the harbor view at bottom is the Massachusetts state seal with Indian with bow at center, and sword-wielding arm at top. The entire oval panel is then bordered by elaborate gold floral scrolls, from under which protrude cannon and arms on each side and ranks of slanted flags from above and behind, with a stars and stripes in the foreground. At the extreme ends of the scroll work is perched an American eagle with olive branch and arrows, and United States shield. The painting is not signed nor is a maker label visible through the vent hole, but both are certainly Boston. An oval silver presentation plaque is mounted on the side opposite the vent hole and given its own gold scroll painted border. The plaque is engraved in small script, block, and Old English lettering: "Keep step to the music of the Union / Presented to / George L. Miller / By the Officers & Members of Co. F. 14th / Massachusetts Volunteers / Heavy Artillery / Fort Scott, Va. July 14, 1862." This reflects the original numerical designation of the the 14th Massachusetts Volunteers, which was officially organized 20 June 1861 as infantry and then converted to heavy artillery as of January 1862, though the numerical designation was not officially changed until 19 September 1863 to the First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery. It was under this designation, somewhat ironically, that it was called into field service as infantry for Grant's climactic overland campaign of 1864, where it suffered heavy casualties. Miller lied about his age at enlistment, being only 15, and maintained the fiction when he later reenlisted as a veteran volunteer in 1863, claiming then to be 21. The regiment served by detachment in the forts of the Washington defenses, along the Potomac, and at Harpers Ferry. Fort Scott, the site of the presentation, was built in Arlington in 1861, containing 7 heavy guns, one light gun, and two mortars. Miller was with the company when the regiment was assembled and sent to the field as infantry, joining the Second Army Corps in May. While he was with the company, they saw action at Harris Farm, Spottsylvania, the North Anna, line of the Pamunkey River, Totopotomoy, and Cold Harbor. Harris Farm was a bloody initiation to combat, costing them 54 killed, 312 wounded, and 27 missing. On the march from Cold Harbor Miller suffered sunstroke, which hospitalized him and along with recurrence of "Intermittent Fever" (likely malaria) kept him out of action until February 1865, when he joined them in front of Petersburg, in time for continued fighting in the trenches, as well at Boydton Plank Road, the final assault on Petersburg, and the battle of Sailor's Creek in the pursuit of Lee to Appomattox. Miller mustered out 31 July 1865, having been promoted to Principle Musician on April 1, which moved him to the noncommissioned staff and put him in charge of the regimental drum corps. He returned to civilian life, married and later moved to Maine, where he died in 1903. CONDITION: About excellent. Original heads, rims, ropes, tighteners, and snare with minor dirt and abrasions. The principle paint shows only scattered tiny losses to the main panel, with some rubbing to the gold painted border of the presentation plaque on the side and some abrasion to the painted ground of the body above that and to the right. The rims are a reddish brown. The shell is light brown with a more orange tint. This is a wonderful combination of history and art.

SILVER 1862 ABRAHAM LINCOLN INDIAN PEACE MEDAL.

Lot #1222 (Sale Order 222 of 679)

Fine example of a silver 1862 Abraham Lincoln Indian peace medal. The first Lincoln medals were struck in September of 1862 and were designed by Salathiel Ellis and Joseph Wilson.

The obverse features the profile of Abraham Lincoln, his head surrounded by the words "Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States". Beneath his figure is the date "1862". The reverse exhibits a “scalping scene” which was used on the Buchanan peace medals. This example is the smaller 62mm size medal and weighs 93.8 grams. The medal is marked "PATENTED / S.ELLIS. DEL. SC." under Lincoln, and "J.WILLSON. DEL. & SC." CONDITION: The medal exhibits surface wear and small blemishes on both sides, but remains attractive. There are several dings along the edges but the medal is clean overall. The marks are consistent with typical wear that is encountered on nearly all surviving silver peace medals. Overall very good.

Lot #1223 (Sale Order 223 of 679)

This wonderful “Fry’s Travelling Companion” flask was among the Lincoln relics descending through the family of Mary Todd Lincoln to Mary Edwards Brown (1866-1958,) granddaughter of Mary Todd Lincoln’s sister and last custodian of the Lincoln home in Springfield, and was likely a present to Lincoln by Springfield distiller Parley L. Howlett. Many Lincoln artifacts preserved by Mary Edwards Brown ended up in the Meserve-Kunhardt collection and others were given or sold by Brown in support of the Friends of the Lincoln Shrines in Galena, Illinois. This comes with a 1958 notarized affidavit by Richard S. Hagen of the “Friends of the Lincoln Shrines” executed when the flask was sold to well-known Lincoln collector and dealer King Hostick detailing his purchase of the flask from Mary Edwards Brown about 1956, and includes her statement the flask had been given to Lincoln just prior to his departure for Washington in 1861. A pen holder/desk set belonging to Lincoln with the exact same provenance and a letter from Hagen to Hostick sold at Christies 4 December 2017, lot 68, for $15,000. The flask acquires unexpected support from the entirely accidental discovery in July 1966 of an identical Fry flask among the relics sealed in the time capsule placed in the cornerstone of the new Illinois State House in 1868, with an inscription identifying the likely presenter of our flask. The find is described and pictured in the Illinois Blue Book 1967-1968. That flask was also engraved on the cup, but reads: “This Whiskey / was made for Abraham Lincoln, / Sept. 20th 1860 and presented to him as an Emblem / of his Administration, it is Pure, & will grow / Better, as it grows older. / P.L. Howlett.” As described by Lincoln historian Wayne C. Temple, the date may refer to the date of distillation, with the actual gift of the whiskey made after it had aged somewhat, tying in with the 1861 date on our example and Mary Edwards Brown’s recollection that this flask was presented to Lincoln before leaving for Washington. Howlett (1818-1891) was a distiller and lived in Springfield from 1858 to 1862, before moving to Jamestown, now Riverton, which was briefly named Howlett in his honor. Admirers have sometimes added abstinence to Lincoln’s many virtues, and the flask comes with its original pasteboard box, indicating Lincoln was not in the habit of carrying it, but he cheerfully admitted to having worked part of one winter in a “still-house,” identified by Temple as that of Isaac Burner of New Salem, and allowed the sale of whiskey by Isaac and Daniel Burner in his New Salem store, “Berry and Lincoln,” though Daniel Burner testified he only saw Lincoln “take anything,” “once in a while.” PROVENANCE: Mary Edwards Brown – Richard Hagen, Friends of the Lincoln Shrines ca. 1956 – Lincoln dealer King Hostick, Chicago 1958 – the present owner. CONDITION: Excellent. The bottom of the pasteboard box is detached. The bottom of the cup has a small inventory number, either that of Hostick or the Friends of the Lincoln Shrines.

JOHN BROWN’S WALLET (POCKET BOOK) TAKEN AT HARPER’S FERRY IN 1859

Lot #1224 (Sale Order 224 of 679)

John Brown is perhaps one of the most recognizable and controversial figures of the American Civil War Era. He was both famous and notorious as he made a name for himself with his infamous raids which added to the unrest of the time, and was often regarded as a martyr in the North and a villain in the South. This small brown leather wallet or pocket book comes with a 1901 letter of provenance signed by Norris Montgomery. Born in 1823, Montgomery was a Maryland militia officer and later a Confederate officer, and wrote this letter at the time of its sale to Benjamin Walter, a prominent autograph dealer who also purchased Civil War manuscript material from Montgomery and signed the letter as well. Montgomery’s letter reads as follows: “On October 16, 1859 the Independent Grays, a military company of Baltimore Md. of which I was Captain, was suddenly ordered out by Gov. Thom H Hicks, to assist in the oppressing [oppressing] John Brown’s Raid at Harper’s Ferry. We joined Lieut. Col. R.E. Lee on his way from Washington with the Marines, and arrived at Harper’s Ferry late at night. When it was daylight Col. Lee demanded surrender. Brown refused unless he was allowed to escape to the mountains. Lee said his orders were to take him alive or dead, and the attack began. A long ladder being used as a battering ram. All the firing on our side was done by the Marines, my company not taking part. Brown surrendered about noon. He had a cut on his head but was not severely injured and was able to walk. He was put into my custody. I asked him why he had made the raid + [and] he said it was from a sense of duty + [and] that he would do it again under the same circumstances. He said he had been promised aid at Harper’s Ferry and took a paper from his pocketbook to prove it. I said, “Mr. Brown I have a better pocket book than yours. Are you willing to trade. All right he replied. I’ll trade. The accompanying small brown pocket book is the one I got from John Brown.” Signed by Captain “Norris Montgomery Independent Grays of Baltimore & Walter Benjamin. May 19, 1901.” The Independent Greys, organized in 1833, were 1 of 5 Baltimore militia companies sent to Harpers Ferry, where they joined three companies from Frederick, already on the scene with the Virginia militia. The total strength of the Baltimore contingent is given as 201 enlisted men, plus company officers, field officers, staff officers, and doctors. As with the Frederick companies, some officers may have been serving in the ranks as privates in the emergency. Initially posted on the Maryland side of the river, the Baltimore companies joined the Frederick companies on Armory grounds in front to the engine house just before the final assault, Lee’s intention being to use the militia forces both to prevent escapes and prevent indiscriminate firing during the bayonet assault for the safety of Brown’s hostages. Montgomery was appointed 1st Lieutenant Independent Greys 53rd Regiment Maryland Volunteer Infantry by the Governor in 1853 and confirmed in 1854. By May 1861 he was a Major when elected Lieutenant Colonel of the First Rifle Regiment. We have not found dates of his intermediate ranks, but the chronology fits. Robert E. Lee’s account of the affair mentions that after the taking of the engine house the Independent Greys were sent under command of “Lt. B.L. Simpson,” to search the Maryland countryside, which could imply that Montgomery had remained on the Armory grounds, as his narrative implies, though we have not seen his name in newspaper reports. It is also possible that Montgomery was serving in a staff position for the composite battalion. He did misremember two chronological details, not unlikely almost fifty years later: the Baltimore companies left the city around 5:00 p.m. on October 17, and the assault on the fire engine house and capture of Brown took place early the next morning, not at noon. Montgomery joined the Confederate army during the Civil War, serving as captain and for at time commanding the prisoner of war camp at Belle Island in Richmond. He was reportedly relieved from his post for his leniency to the prisoners. Montgomery sold the wallet in 1901 and died just two years later in 1903. The wallet is accompanied by a binder of research which includes an unbroken written chain of ownership and Montgomery’s military records. Click here to see the full description.

BATTLEFIELD RECOVERED INSCRIBED KIA 6TH CORPS BADGE, WILDERNESS.

Lot #1233 (Sale Order 233 of 679)

This inscribed silver Sixth Corps badge bears the name "L.A. Bryant" in script in an arc over "Co. C" on the central cross bar of the badge. The bottom of the vertical bar is broken off, but the top of the regimental numerical designation is visible. There is no doubt about the soldier who wore it in action on the battlefield where he was killed and the badge was recovered a century later: Lewis A. Byant, Company C, 4th Vermont Volunteers, serving at the time in the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, 6th Army Corps, Army of the Potomac. Bryant was born about 1843 in Mendon, Vermont, was a cotton-spinner at a mill in Windsor in 1860 described 5' 5" tall with dark complexion, brown hair and eyes. He was credited to the town of Chester, when he enlisted at Cavendish 27 August 1861 and mustered in there as a private in Co. G on September 21. The regiment formed part of the Old Vermont Brigade, with which it served throughout the war. Up to the opening of Grant's 1864 overland campaign, their battle honors included, Lee's Mills, Williamsburg, Golding's Farm, Savage Station, White Oak Swamp, Crampton's Gap, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Marye's Heights (Second Fredericksburg,) Gettysburg, Funkstown, and Rappahannock Station. Bryant seems to have been present throughout most of the heavy service, being listed absent sick only from late July 1863 through the end of October, part of which time he was a General Hospital in Brattleboro, perhaps giving him a last visit home before rejoining the regiment in November. On May 5, 1864, at the Wilderness the regiment held the left of the brigade line and fought a "concealed foe" at less than 75 yards for "upwards of an hour.". The fighting cost them 10 officers wounded and 8 killed outright or mortally wounded. Of some 550 enlisted men in the fight, they lost 223 wounded, 43 mortally wounded, and 41 killed outright, including Bryant, with just 4 men missing. This piece was recovered on private property with owner's permission near the Orange Plank Road in the 1960s. The finder noted that the area was carpeted with empty magazine tins from the fighting along with buttons and other artifacts. In a cruel bit of irony, Bryant's loss of the identification badge in the fighting apparently led to the failure to subsequently identify his body. We have found no marked grave for him. His mother, Mary, applied for a pension in 1870. Her file would likely supply more personal information. CONDITION: Very good, but missing the lower branch of the cross. The engraved border line and script identification is professionally done and fully legible. The pin and clasp hook are missing from the reverse. This is a very telling memento of a life cut short in the country's service. Paperwork: Dig Information

US CIVIL WAR CAVALRY FROCK COAT OF LT. MCCRAY VANCE, SECOND OHIO CAVALRY

Lot #1234 (Sale Order 234 of 679)

This officer's frock is identified by period ink identification in the sleeve and first reached the collector's market about 1975 through well known dealer George Lower, the Gettsyburg Sutler. The coat is the regulation Union line officer's single-breasted frock coat of dark blue satinette with nine cavalry officer's eagle-C buttons on the front, three on each functional cuff and four on the rear waist and tails. The coat is lined in (now) light green, quilted in the chest and sides, with white sleeve linings, and has pockets in the tails and a single interior breast pocket. The shoulders show small sewn sloops for the easy attachment and removal of shoulder straps. The sleeve lining at the upper left shoulder shows a period brown ink inscription: "Lieut. Vance / Nov. 24/ 62." The only candidate is McCray Vance (1812-1865,) who enrolled and mustered in as 2nd Lieutenant of Co. L, 2nd Ohio Cavalry for three years service 4 October 1862 at age 48. He was promoted and mustered in as 1st Lieutenant of the company 25 November 1862. It was likely in expectation of the promotion that he treated himself to a new uniform coat. In January 1863 he was detached for recruiting duty, but did not report back in time and was considered absent without leave from February 16 to March 25, but this may have been a matter of paperwork. He was present in April, but on May 9 offered his resignation, which was accepted as of May 21. Augustus Kautz, his brigade commander noted the resignation was offered, "from apprehension of an examination," though whether regarding his military competence or physical condition is not stated, but Kautz casts no aspersions on his ability. Vance had given his age as 48, but was actually 50, either age rather old for active field service and he died just three years later in 1865. The regiment had seen very field active service already in Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas before returning briefly to Ohio, where Vance joined it, and its hard subsequent service, where it lost 267 men, certainly justified the decision. CONDITION: Very good. No moth damage. Minor wear to the inside of the collar. Some shredding of the upper sleeve lining at the shoulders, but not affecting the inscription. Accompanied by a substantial file of genealogical research. This is a fully regulation, identified, Civil War Union cavalry officer's frock coat that displays very well. Paperwork: Binder of Records

US CIVIL WAR UNION ARTILLERY SHELL JACKET

Standard configuration twelve button front with two false buttonholes on collar sides, functional two-button cuffs, back with shoulder arcs and belt pillows. All button and trim in place and secure. Introduced in the 1850s for enlisted light artillery men and regulation to about 1872. Many absolutely original surplus jackets like this one were purchased and kept in inventory by nineteenth century theatrical companies and a few show up in early Hollywood movies with Civil War themes. CONDITION: Blue wool body with excellent color and no moth damage. Trim complete and securely in place. Muted red in color. Small eagle buttons are in place and correct with good patina, but resewn over the years. One is brighter.

White inventory number stencil at back center. White muslin sleeve linings in place, showing size number 3 stamps and partial maker and inspector stamps. Oval holes from removal of costume company stamps by a misguided collector or dealer. This displays very well and is basic piece in any Civil War collection. Union field artillery was decisive in several engagements. One Confederate general remarked that with southern infantry and Union artillery, he "could whip the world."

CIVIL WAR ERA PRIVATE PURCHASE STYLE SLOUCH HAT WITH 5TH CAVALRY INSIGNIA

Lot #1236 (Sale Order 236 of 679)

This hat is has a bound edge showing wear and a wide, faded grosgrain silk band around the base. The sweatband and lining are missing. The hat body and brim are rather heavy felt and we hesitate to date it more precisely than call it of the style or perhaps of the era at best. The cavalry insignia, however, appear original and mounted for display as they would have appeared on a piece of privately purchased headgear. The yellow cavalry enlisted hat cord is full length and complete though dirty. The regimenal number 5 is dented as is the cavalry crossed sabers. The number is affixed with wire pins. The sabers have correct small loops. The side eagle i very good and is fixed with two small loops and appears made without the small double wire hook at bottom. CONDITION: Good. Some dust and dirt. Wear to hat binding and ribbon. Dents to front insignia that could be straightened.

US CIVIL WAR 52ND MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEERS CAP

Lot #1237 (Sale Order 237 of 679)

Civil War low-crown chasseur pattern forage cap with inset kepi-style crown, bound visor, chinstrap with Massachusetts side buttons. Complete sweatband and two-thirds style polished cotton lining in place. Top is mounted with original flat white metal large E company letter and smaller 52 regimental number in separate numerals. Letter shows tarnish. Numerals muted silver. The regiment mustered in for nine months service in Fall 1862 and served in the deep south in the campaign to open the Mississippi as part of the 19th Corps, Department of the Gulf. It saw active service in the reconnaissance to Port Hudson, operations in western Louisiana, including the Bayou Teche campaign and Irish Bend, service in the siege of Port Hudson, where it took part in the second assault of June 14, 1863, and subsequent duty in the trenches, losing 11 men killed in action or mortally wounded during its service. After the surrender of Port Hudson it served in the garrison and returned to Massachusetts to be mustered out in August 1863. CONDITION: Very good. Some stains to top of cap and tarnish to insignia commensurate with age and wear. Narrow two-piece chinstrap lacks buckle, but sections adhere to one another. The cap is solid and displays very well. The use of white metal numerals, sometimes in conjunction with gilt brass branch of service insignia, is frequently encountered in New England headgear and an enlisted variation of the officers use of silver embroidered bullion numerals with gold embroidered hunting horns, etc. The shorter inset crown, kepi style forage cap that took over military fashion in the 1870s is also well documented in wartime use. Civil War caps with legitimate insignia are hard to come by.

REGULATION ISSUE US CIVIL WAR FORAGE CAP MAKER MARKED

Two minor pencil point moth nips on edge of crown; one at base concealed by chinstrap. Color very good. Visor and sweatband secure with minor wear spots. Lining complete. Chinstrap in place. Side buttons likely restitched. A key piece in any Civil War collection and hard to find in decent condition.

US CIVIL WAR IMPORT 1860 FRENCH SHAKO

Lot #1240 (Sale Order 240 of 679)

The U.S. army contracted with the Godillot firm in France for 10,000 sets of French chasseur, light infantry, uniforms and equipment. These were delivered in 1861. Among the recipients were the 18th Mass, 62nd and 83rd PA, and a regiment of the Excelsior Brigade, awarded on the basis of drill competition. With many of the uniforms too small for issue, some uniform elements like the cloaks were altered and others, like these shakos went their own way with issue to Veteran Reserve Corps bandsmen and others. This is a nice example, with U.S. front insignia consisting of a U.S. eagle over an infantry hunting horn with painted shield and background for the horn, and red, white and blue cockade. The feathered plume issued with these has been replaced with a faded light blue pompom. The chinstrap is present inside the cap, detached on one side. French stencil and stamped number and letter codes are present inside the hat and on the underside of the visor. CONDITION: Excellent, with chinstrap partially detached and substitute pompom. A legitimate piece of uniform headgear imported by the Union army.

Only two small holes that may have secured an old tag with the owner's name, now lost. B) White leather gauntlets. Heavy buff leather cuffs with loop on one and toggle on the other to fasten them together when not worn. Blue ink British War Department and issue number stamps inside. Period undetermined, but good for display with an officer's grouping. CONDITION: Very good. Minor dirt and stains from use.

US CIVIL WAR OFFICER'S SASH ATTRIBUTED TO 54TH MASSACHUSETTES OFFICER CAPTAIN ANDREW WATSON LEONARD

Lot #1242 (Sale Order 242 of 679)

Andrew Watson Leonard had early service, from April 30, 1861 to October 16, 1863 in the 13th Massachusetts, a unit seeing heavy action in the Army of the Potomac, including Second Manassas, Antietam, and Gettysburg. He was discharged for promotion to Second Lieutenant Company K, 54th Massachusetts, the first black regiment raised in Massachusetts, and received a promotion to First Lieutenant January 31, 1864, serving with them until promoted to Captain in the 103rd United States Colored Troops in May 1865, with whom he served until mustered out in April 1866. The 54th Massachusetts served in the Department of the South, in the operations against the Charleston defenses, and is best known for its vain charge against Fort Wagner on Morris Island, South Carolina, where the regiment lost 156 men killed and wounded and more than 100 missing, most whom were likely killed in the assault and buried in mass graves with their faithful commander Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, whose body the Confederate’s refused to return due to the fact that he was a white officer that lead colored forces into battle. Two of Frederick Douglass' sons, Lewis and Charles Douglass, were with the 54th regiment during the Second Battle of Fort Wagner. Although the regiment was overwhelmed by firing from the defenses and driven back, suffering many casualties, the regiment became legendary. They inspired hundreds of thousands more African Americans to enlist for the Union, helping to turn the tide of the war to its ultimate victory. The regiment later went on to take part in the 1864 expedition to Florida, fighting at Olustee, before returning to operations in South Carolina. The 54th Massachusetts officially mustered out August 20, 1865, having seen action and lost men on at least 29 occasions, at least 109 of whom were killed or mortally wounded. This was a high price to pay during a time that these brave men were viewed as second rate soldiers and citizens. Leonard, and the men under his command, no matter the color of their skin, served their country honorably, and deserve every bit of respect. The actions of these men would pave the way on a elongated and bumpy road, for a better nation, reunited together under the same flag, regardless of race. The sash is maroon, a common color shift from original crimson due to dye. It is a standard Civil War regulation sash for all officers below the rank of general except medical staff, and some chaplains. The sash is beautifully mounted and framed, and is draped above several pieces of ephemera relating to Leonard and the 54th Massachusetts. The sash is accompanied by two books "Record of the Massachusetts Volunteers 1861-1865, Volume II" and "A Brave Black Regiment: Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry 1863-1865". CONDITION: The sash is worn and exhibits fraying and several holes throughout its construction. There are also scattered stains, which are noticeable in several areas. The books are well preserved and exhibit blemishes that are typical of old paper. Overall good. JLD Paperwork: Books

US 34 STAR FLAG ATTRIBUTED TO THE REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE

Lot #1243 (Sale Order 243 of 679)

Civil War era US 34 Star Flag. The 34 star flag became the official United States flag on July 4, 1861 after the admission of Kansas as a state. 34 star flags were flown during the first half of the Civil War for about 2 years, until West Virginia was admitted as a state, meaning July 4, 1863 would then be the official date for its replacement by the 35-star flag. The flag is wool bunting and measures approximately 18 feet on the fly by 9 feet on the hoist and is marked "8x12" on the hoist. The stars are arranged 8,1,8,8,1,8 and are 5-pointed cut-out style, sewn to one side of the blue canton with the fabric cut away under them to make them visible from both sides. The hoist has 2 rope loops, 1 on each end. The flag is marked "18 Foot" and "Revenue Cutter City of Detroit" on the hoist. The Revenue Cutter service was formed in 1790 and was disbanded when it merged with the United States Life-Saving Service to form the United States Coast Guard in 1915. Revenue cutters assisted the United States Navy with their operations throughout the Civil War. CONDITION: The flag exhibits several holes and tears including tears and loose stitching along the hoist. There appears to be a period repair to the canton where one strip of stars is sewn to a lighter shade of blue. A few holes and thinning to fabric on the field. The flag also exhibits several stains and tarnishing. The color remains vibrant with slight fading. Overall good. JLD

FRAMED CIVIL WAR 5 STAR GEORGIA CONFEDERATE FLAG.

Lot #1244 (Sale Order 244 of 679)

Sometimes known as "bible flags" from their post-War places of preservation, small flags like these were used for patriotic display in public gatherings, parades and the like, and sometimes even worn as ribbons on the chest, hung like a banner from a cross stick and pin, even larger sizes. This one is certainly homemade, likely by young girl in the family demonstrating her sewing skills and patriotism. The flag follows the lines of the Confederate first national flag and the presence of 5 stars in the canton suggests it was made in celebration of Georgia's secession, the fifth state to do so, on January 9, 1861, which also gives it a likely narrow time frame of only one week, Louisiana becoming the sixth state to secede, on January 26, thought it may have taken a short time for word to spread. The flag consists of 3 stripes about 2 - 1/4" wide, red, white and red, with a blue canton, roughly 4 - 1/4" square, with 5 5-pointed white stars about 1 - 1/8" wide, applied on either side. A line of stitching on the hoist end created a narrow sleeve, which still retains part of a wood stick. The flag as a whole is 13 - 1/2" long on the upper side and 13" on the lower. CONDITION: Very good. One short separation line in the canton. Pleasing fading of the red to reddish brown. Canton a light blue. Professionally mounted in a double sided frame.

US CIVIL WAR ERA 26TH REGIMENT GENERAL GUIDE FLAG

Lot #1245 (Sale Order 245 of 679)

Constructed of plain blue silk about 17 1/2 inches on the hoist and 22 1/2 on the fly, with the number 26 painted in gold 10 inches high and shadowed in red and black for another two inches falling to the left. A previous owner identified this as belonging to the 26th Connecticut in the Civil War and so identified in a type-written card placed in lower front of the frame. The flag roughly fits the size and pattern for some wartime infantry guide flags carried by the right and left general guides, sergeants posted on the flanks of the battle line to maintain alignment on parade and in battle. Since these were often private gifts or local presentations there is a great deal of variety and spotty documentation. This one resembles the guide flags of the 25th and 35th Massachusetts Regiments published by Madaus in the CMH Journal, though is slightly larger, those being about 16 by 18 inches. It is like 25th in having no fringe. In size it is close to a flag attributed to the 4th Mass, 17.5 by 20.5 inches, also discussed by Madaus, but which has a yellow fringe and is possibly a NY National Guard piece of the 1880s, which were specified as being 18 by 20 inches. This one also two small metal grommets, which would not be period, but could be applied later. CONDITION: Very good. Slight fading to blue silk, muted red and gold. Some narrow separation lines and what appear to be some tape repairs made from the reverse. Some paint loss to the gold numerals. Pressure mounted in a wood frame. Not examined out of the frame. A colorful flag in a very displayable size.

US CIVIL WAR ERA 17 STAR US NAVY COMMISSIONING PENNANT.

Lot #1246 (Sale Order 246 of 679)

Commissioning pennants were an old tradition, supposed to be flown from a masthead the day of commission, and not taken down until the ship was decommissioned and removed from service. This one is bunting, about 40 feet long, tapering to a point, with upper end blue and lower portions red and white stripes. This is made in several sections, with both the blue and red and white sections handsewn. The uppermost, blue section has a canvas edge and wood toggle for fastening it. The blue portion of the pennant, consisting of 3 sections joined end to end, has 17 white, 5-pointed stars applied to each side. The 7 uppermost stars, on the first panel, are machine sewn. On the other blue panels the remaining 10 stars are hand sewn. CONDITION: Good to very good. The fly end of the pennant shows holes, shredding and losses but appears to be full length. A small end tassel, now detached, seems to be original to it. The upper portions are much better, with few holes. The blue color is strong. The white shows dirt and stains. The stars are all firmly in place and the stitching overall is secure. There is a War of 1812 17-star naval flag in the Zaricor collection, but the use of machine sewing precludes dating the pennant that early and pushes it into the Civil War or later, though likely not much later given the use of hand sewing as well. More likely the presence of stars was considered of more importance than their appearance in a precise number.

CIVIL WAR BAYONET STRUCK US BELT PLATE RECOVERED FROM DUMFRIES, VIRGINIA.

Lot #1261 (Sale Order 261 of 679)

Regulation 1839 Pattern enlisted infantry cartridge box plate with bayonet strike on the top right side of the letter U. The plate is die struck with a rolled brass face and retains both of the iron wire loops. The buckle is marked "Dumfries / August 6 / 1960" on a piece of tape on the reverse. Both of the iron wire loops remain mostly straight. The bayonet is bent inwards at the area of the bayonet strike. It appears that there are two other smaller bayonet strikes, one is at the center of the S, and the other is towards the bottom of the S. Although this belt plate would be more desirable if the bayonet strike was acquired in combat, due to the other smaller strikes, it appears that this belt received its "battle damage" from soldiers who were performing bayonet practice in camp. This is still a very nice ground dug belt plate that sheds light into the closer aspects of the war, including the driving force of a bayonet and what soldiers would face in hand to hand combat. CONDITON: The plate exhibits blemishes that are typical of ground dug belt plates and exhibits a nice patina. The bottom edge is slightly serrated. This example has been decently preserved for spending years in the ground. Overall good. JLD

Belt has nice color and finish with only expected craquelure and wear spots where the belt overlaps.

B) Cartridge box is 1864 pattern with embossed US not pierced for box plate. White inspector stamp at lower left of outer flap. Shoulder sling in place with eagle breast plate. CONDITION: Very good. Nice color with good original finish showing crackling and some losses, but not treated with preservatives or polished. All loops, buckles and tabs in place. Interior flap, side ears, implement pocket, magazine tins, in place. Shoulder belt complete and flexible. Crackling and finish loss from flexing. Round eagle plate is original, some darker patina than belt plate, fastened with wood pegs, likely replaced or added to the sling, but original and correct. These show very well together and are correct for 1864 and the climactic battles of the war. They would help complete a basic infantry display.

Good optics, full leather on body and sunshades. Purple lined case very good. Carrying handle broken off but present. Fastening strap and horseshoe buckle present. Strap replaced. (B) 3 draw telescope with carrying tube. Dealer's card with note on provenance to James Mason family of Blacksburg, Va. CONDITION: Excellent. Nice gray fabric covering to case.

LOT OF 2: CIVIL WAR SOFT PACK AND CARTRIDGE BOX WITH UPSIDE DOWN PLATES.

Lot #1267 (Sale Order 267 of 679)

Lot consists of 2 items (A) Regulation 1858 pattern double-bag Union army knapsack. Tarred canvas with leather shoulder straps and tabs. Standard configuration soft pack with 1 interior compartment secured by straps and buckles and a large pocket with flap tied by rawhide thongs. Developed in conjunction with the 1855 rifleman's belt. The pack shoulder straps split to secure the pack on the back and steady it by hooking into the belt or across the chest. CONDITION: Poor to Fair. Numerous tears to the canvas.

Both box and sling show wear, scuffing with finish loss and oxidation to brown, but all from legitimate field use. This comes with a collector note identifying it to soldier named Perry in the 25th GA. This seems to be a misreading of a legitimate war time stencil inside the sling that seems to read Perry, but also "Co. A 25," most likely a Union army company letter and soldier's "rack" number, though we do find a Perry in both the 25th GA Battalion and Regiment. The pack and cartridge box rig are good examples of Civil War infantry field gear.

CIVIL WAR SADDLE BAGS ATTRIBUTED TO 7TH V.A. CAVALRY SOLDIER

Lot #1269 (Sale Order 269 of 679)

A scarce pair of Civil War or pre-Civil War saddlebags. Non-regulation, commercial, civilian manufacture, but much more useful than smaller army patterns.

Fastening buckle at bottom on one side is missing. Both fastening straps show old repairs; 1 replaced entirely, the other partially.

Both bags show old repairs to stitching along reverse top edges of bags at the yoke. In one case the the seam was reinforced with 2 copper rivets. Body of one side incised: "SSR / 7th VA CAVLRY / Co. B.". CONDITION: Very good. Leather is solid with minor scuffs. On one flap punch-dotted centers of embossed diamonds have broken out creating some small holes. Small yoke strap is fragile with partial tear near one bag. Comes with letter of authenticity from "The Alexander F. Hunt Civil War Museum at Hunt Morgan House," identifying the owner as Solomon Ritchie (1838-1920) 7th Cavalry, Co. B, who enlisted Nov. 15, 1862, at Harrisonburg, VA., and was wounded at the Wilderness. This is a mistaken reading of the rolls. Ritchie enlisted 6/25/62 at age 24 and was mustered in as substitute for Adam Ritchie. There is possibly a good family story here. He was wounded at the Wilderness 5/5/1864 and listed as absent sick 6/15/64 with no muster out date given. He seems to have had prior service in the 146th Va Militia. The 7th VA Cavalry served in the Army of Northern Virginia and was extremely active. CWData lists and extraordinary 621 data points at which they suffered casualties of some sort in killed, wounded, captured or missing. Paperwork: Provenance

ALEXANDER STEPHENS CSA VICE PRESIDENT PRO-UNION SPEECH.

Lot #1315 (Sale Order 315 of 679)

This political broadside is a clever attack on the northern peace movement of the Civil War that urged compromise for the sake of peace, but which opponents argued could only result in the dissolution of the Union. In this case, the writer urges supporters of the "peace-and-secession" doctrine of the Democrats to read a speech opposing secession by Alexander H. Stephens, by then Vice President of the Confederacy. This presentation makes a case not so much for Stephens's hypocrisy, but ties potential supporters of a peace plan to Stephens' initial motives in maintaining a government that had in fact worked in favor or expanding slavery and gave satisfactory disproportional representation to the South in all departments of government. It is a very interesting broadside countering a movement that even Lincoln feared might doom his election chances in 1864. CONDITION: Excellent. Professionally matted and framed. Ready to hang.

This impressive side knife has a maple grip, without ferrule, with blade tang peened over a brass washer on the pommel. The grip is oval in cross-section with nice finish and just light handling marks. The flat iron guard is an elongated diamond with flat, round terminals. The blade has an inverted-V ricasso with a modified saber grind producing 3 planes: a central narrow flat plane rather than median ridge; a narrow upper plane tapering to the flat back edge; and a broad lower plane tapering to the cutting edge. The central plane tapers out near the spearpoint tip as the upper and lower planes join at the slightly upturned tip. Blade is smooth metal, muted silver with scattered gray spotting, a small bit of freckling on either side about 6" from the tip, but very good edge and point.

(A) EXTREMELY RARE MODEL 1875 LEE VERTICAL ACTION SINGLE SHOT MILITARY RIFLE

Lot #1510 (Sale Order 508 of 679)

Another invention from the fertile mind of James Paris Lee, this rifle was produced at Springfield Armory in about 1875. Congress had appropriated $10,000 for the development of this rifle but after only 143 were produced the funds ran out and the project was never refunded. With that limited production it makes this one of the most rare of all military rifles. Rifle is described as having a 32 - 5/8" barrel with barleycorn front sight/bayonet lug for socket bayonet and a Trapdoor Springfield 1,200 yard ladder rifle rear sight. Mounted in a full length, one piece, uncheckered walnut stock with two bands and blued steel nose cap. Upper band has both stacking and sling loops with corresponding sling loop in front of the trigger guard. Bottom of forestock is slotted for a partially concealed trapdoor-style slotted head ramrod. Left side of the wrist has the “ESA” (Erskine S. Allin) cartouche and bottom of the stock has the circle “P” stock inspector cartouche. Top tang is stamped “U.S.” and patent date. Action is most unusual with Martini-style breech block that is opened by striking the rear face of the hammer spur with the heel of one’s hand which causes the front of the breech block to lower and if sufficient force is exerted the empty cartridge casing will be ejected. At that point the breech block is locked open and is allowed to close only when a cartridge is loaded into the chamber and the rim of the casing depresses the extractor. The hammer is then cocked and fired in the normal manner. Very few of these rare rifles have survived today and are found only in the most advanced Springfield Collections or museums. CONDITION: Excellent. Barrel retains 92-93% strong original blue showing wear only around the muzzle from bayonet installation and a storage rub that has turned chocolate 10" from muzzle; receiver and top tang retain about 95% original blue with losses at high points from light period use. Breech block and hammer retain virtually all of the arsenal finish with about a 10% loss at high points. Stock is superb with most all arsenal finish remaining. Vivid, crisp cartouche as well as circle "P" inspection to rear of trigger guard. Serial number 125 is observed on trigger group, hammer, sear and left side of upper tang. Mechanics are fine, brilliant shiny bore. This is one of the finest examples we have observed.
