Overall steel grey patina mixed with plum-brown patina on the socket, with crisp edges. The interesting thing about this bayonet is that it is stamped F & T on the ricasso, and on an upper flat of the blade is capital letter L, and on the other upper flat are two dots. This F&T marking is seen on large bore Belgian muskets made by Falisse & Trapman in Liege. Whether they made socket bayonets for the Liege Enfields I do not know, but this marking makes me believe that such may well be the case. If you are familiar with any English firm using these markings please let me know, or if you can confirm that Falisse & Trapman made these please advise. In any event this is in Very nice condition and would be a good match for a musket in the $1500 to $2000 value range.

Attached to this is the original well aged linen shoulder strap which attaches to the box by means of two circular leather buttons or rosettes sewn to the back of the box. This is unquestionably the original sling that has always been with this box. The linen strap has a button hole on each end for securing to the leather buttons on either side of the back of the box. The front flap closes by means of a twine loop that engages a peg on the bottom of the box. The twine may be an old replacement for a leather thong??? There are no belt loops to facilitate use of a waist belt. Condition 39

4 is about excellent save for the shoulder sling which is torn completely through at the point where it once hung on a hook. This could easily be repaired but I believe it should be left as is. It hasn t been altered in nearly 200 years best to leave it this way. This rig is unquestionably from the 1812 period and possibly a bit earlier. Very appealing and very solid condition. It seems odd that such an early artifact sells for less money than the far more common Civil War counterparts. Luckily for 1812 enthusiasts such is the case Almost 200 years old. $ #162) To 1820 s Cartridge Box and Waist Belt: Another attic condition and unaltered early cartridge box rig.

The waist belt is 2.8 inches wide and closes by means of two narrow billet straps engaging small roller buckles. One closing strap and both roller buckles are long gone but the belt is still full length... and you can plainly see how this rig functioned. Overall very good condition. Very solid and still supple. $ #163) - Smooth M1858 Us Army Canteen In Excellent Condition: Just the canteen (no stopper) but a very solid example with rich green tin patina and standard pewter spout with rolled lip.

The spout area is reinforced and it has a turned wooden stopper. The entire piece is painted in classic English blue-green paint.

This one shows the subject in his finest Sunday Church clothes. Great southern images. For the pair... $ Dave Taylor s Civil War Antiques #213) - Quarter Plate Tintype The Bible Reader: What a wonderful CW image. Our warrior is interesting on several fronts. First he is reading his Testament. That is pretty cool. This would be perfect to display in your collection with a Bible or Testament. Second, our soldier is wearing a rare state issued five button fatigue blouse. This style blouse is known to have been worn by Wisconsin troops and also soldiers in the 1st Michigan Engineers and Mechanics. The buttons on the coat are clearly rimmed staff buttons typical of both Wisconsin and Michigan. Third, the soldier is armed with his M-1816 musket and wears an eagle NCO buckle.

His musket is a monstrous 72 caliber European fire belcher of some sort. Look at the diameter of that barrel. He has a state issued shell jacket which could be New York, or Ohio, or??? He has his cloth haversack and smooth side M-1858 canteen clearly displayed to the camera as well. The canteen strap is leather which is generally an early war element. The light color haversack likewise is an early war feature. Clarity, contrast, and condition are excellent --- top shelf. Housed in a full case... $ #215) - Outdoor Civil War Time Sixth Plate Tintype: A very appealing slice of Americana --- sort of like looking through a window into the past. Early 1860s bearded traveller sits astride his trusty nag in front of a brick building. I believe Lincoln and Grant are having a meeting inside the building... are perhaps it was Lee and Davis. Or maybe its just an old warehouse in town. Either way it's a great early 1860s outdoor image housed in a full case and priced pretty darn low. $ #216) Tintype Heavy Artilleryman Armed and Ready to Kill: A CDV size tintype or 1/8th plate showing a derelict bearded Yankee wearing the regulation uniform of the Union Heavy Artillery and holding a bayonetted Enfield rifle musket that I will bet a nickel was a captured blockade gun. The Enfield has a socket bayonet affixed. Clearly visible on the forage cap are crossed cannon insignia showing that this bearded wonder was one of the Heavy Artillerymen that Gen. Grant handed muskets and said go forth during the 1864 campaign toward Richmond. Image has incredible clarity and contrast. There are some rust spots at the top and right edge.

9 #219) - Cross Eyed Armed 10th Legion Soldier: I hope this guy aimed with one eye closed because his vision must have been somewhat skewed judging from this photo. He is a member of the famed New York 10th Legion with the distinctive uniform jacket with shield and Roman Numeral "X" (ten) on the breast. He holds his half stock fowler or rifle upright at his side. We can guess the fowler was a studio prop or that the 10th Legion was about to depart for the marshes and a good old fashioned duck hunt. I have occasionally seen these 10th Legion uniforms shown in photos but in nearly 40 years I have never seen a physical example of the jacket. The 10th Legion was the 56th New York Infantry and saw lots of combat in Virginia and the Carolinas. It lost 64 men killed or mortally wounded, and 216 more died from disease. A great ninth plate tintype housed in a full case. Neat image... $ #220) - Rare Tintype of a Lincoln Supporter - A "Wide Awake": Here is something we don't find every day... a wonderful tintype of a Lincoln Republican Wide Awake wearing the distinctive garb of the oil cloth cap and cape.

This image is very fine. About ninth plate size and mounted in a paper CDV size frame. Inscribed on the reverse is "John ord Hamburg Fremont Co. Iowa... My pen is poor and my ink is pale and my love for you shall never fail." Lincoln spent only three days in Iowa as best I can discover, but his supporters were staunch. A fine rare image. $ #221) - Superb Quarter Plate Ambrotype The Reading Matron: What a wonderful ambrotype photo, very artistic with the dark background. This buxom and beefy older woman has as much character as you could hope to find in a photograph. Charismatic even through a lens and a veil of 160 years. She is hefty, attired in the finest of cloth and lace, intelligent of face, and wonderfully posed as she reads for the viewer, She appears to be in her 70s in terms of age. The image was taken around 1850, meaning she would have been born around 1776 when the "US and A" was being born. A striking and artistic image housed in a full case. While our precious armed soldiers are wonderful collectibles --- this image really is a great piece of art. Housed in full case... $ #222) - Sneaky Armed Yankee: Sixth plate, about perfect condition, and crystal clear. This guy is posed so he looks a little sinister and sneaky.

About perfect condition with superb clarity, contrast, and condition. Housed in a full case (spine split) One of my favorite CW photos currently on hand. $

10 #226) - CDV Federal Artillery Officer: Note the plumed hat and the huge crossed cannon insignia on it. Quite a sad countenance on our man's face. His weapon of choice is a cavalry saber.

Berry, succeeded him as commander of the division. In the battle of Gettysburg he commanded the 3rd corps after Gen. Sickles was wounded, and on July 23, 1864, was made commander of the 10th corps. Fine view edges of card have been rounded. $ #229) - CDV Photo Truly Unusual Civil War Uniform View 56th Illinois Mechanic Fusileers : The photo illustration should tell the tale. The carte is signed A. Fengler and National Park Service records show him to be Albert Fengler of Chicago... 56th Illinois Mechanic Fusileers... weird title for the regiment. I do not know why he is wearing the Russian shoulder knots, nor the aiguillette, and look at those pleats in his uniform blouse. Pretty dang wild. Photo has Little Rock, Arkansas back mark. Unit served and saw action at Champion's Hill, Big Black River, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Bentonville, and more. Pretty rare, definitely interesting... I'll price it at... $ #231) - CDV Confederate General Sterling Price: A most heroic southerner. This sums it up General Van Dorn in his report on the battle of Pea Ridge Arkansas said During the whole of this engagement I was with the Missourians under Price, and I have never seen better fighters than these Missouri troops, or more gallant leaders than Price and his officers. From the first to the last shot they continually rushed on, and never yielded an inch they had won; and when at last they received orders to fall back, they retired steadily and with cheers. General Price received a severe wound in the action, but would neither retire from the field nor cease to expose his life to danger. Nice historic carte. $ #233) - The Corporal Stole My Sword: CDV photo of Youthful NY corporal wearing his state issued jacket poses with an officer's M-1850 foot sword. Some NCOs carried foot officers swords, some photographers kept such swords on hand as props, but maybe this little weasel stole his lieutenant's sword after bludgeoning him with a brick and secreting the body in an ammuntion wagon behind the Colonel's tent.... Or not... Nice photo though... $85.00

Officer: The illustration should tell the tale on this tough mid-westerner with huge gauntlets, boots, and unit IDed hat.

12 #242) - Genuine Ford s Theater Broadside April 14th 1865 Saved by a Witness to the Lincoln Assassination: 18.2 x 6 This is the genuine article, a true April 14th, type-ii printing of the play bill advertising the play Our American Cousin. There were three actual printings of the April 14th handbill, one so rare reportedly only one specimen survives, the other two forms are well known to historians. This is an example of the revised, last printing which carries the paragraph relating that a PATRIOTIC SONG AND CHORUS HONOR OUR SOLDIERS will be performed. This element of the performance was added to the play bill when it was learned that President Lincoln would be in attendance that evening. I purchased this broadside directly from the descendants of the officer who secured it on April 14th 1865 and who was present at the theater that evening. Accompanying this broadside is a copy of an 1895 news clipping the Hegeman family gave me. It states that on the night of the assassination John W Hutchinson 13th NY Cavalry in the company of Captain Hegeman went to Ford s Theater principally in hope of seeing General Grant. obtained seats in the orchestra near the center of the house Hutchinson describes the pistol shot, Booth leaping to the stage, and he and Hegeman running into the alley with their revolvers drawn. Captain Hegeman and myself both drew our revolvers on the instant, the assassin had disappeared beyond the stage we hurried around to the alley but when they reached the alley a woman told them that Booth had mounted a horse and was gone. Not only is this broadside a rare item at face value (the last two sold for over $15,000 each at auction) it is further an actual piece of the assassination. The bill is in overall good condition with some separations at the folds, and some slight paper loss near the bottom fold. All four corners have tape residue from being mounted in a scrap book. Written in pencil in the upper left corner is the historic note The night Lincoln was shot. This is the genuine April 14th edition not one of the day after copies made by theater door keeper John Buckingham. After the murder every handbill in Washington City was taken as a souvenir. When door keeper Buckingham realized the demand for these hand bills he returned, reportedly on April 15th, to the original printer and ordered more so that he could sell them as souvenirs for ten cents. The printer had already dismantled the type from the April 14th printing, so had to reset it. And in the process the April 15, 1865 examples have numerous type variances from the true April 14th examples. (Reference Walter Brenner s 1937 essay The Ford Theatre Lincoln Assassination Playbills). The specimen here offered is absolutely, unequivocally, and without question the genuine article and so guaranteed for life. You can look for decades and not find a genuine April 14th example of this rare piece of ephemera. This is the first I ve been able to buy in the 40 years I have been collecting. Sometimes it seems like you have to wait until later in life to be able to afford the really great things in life. So be it. In terms of how I found this Had I not had a web page, the family would not have been able to find me and I would not have had the chance to buy this. Luckily the family found me on the internet, and fortunately I had the savings to be able to afford the purchase price. (The family s initial asking price was near what I have priced it at here.) Here is your chance to own a true national treasure. I doubt the opportunity will present itself again this decade. $11, #243) - Custer s 7th Michigan Cavalry Recruiting Poster: Superb condition and early 1862 printing asking for recruits for the famed 7th Mich Cav which fought with Custer at Gettysburg and all the eastern cavalry campaigns.
