Relics - Pg. 2

R-2

U.S. MODEL 1858 CANTEEN - Recovery unknown at this point. Missing 2 of 3 sling loops and as you can see, approx. 20% of the body. Yet a nice relic canteen which is in fairly sound condition despite the looks. Pewter spout which appears to have some scratching (looks like a '4' or an 'A') under the ground action.

$ 95.

R-21

RARE BREAK-AWAY STIRRUP - Rarely are these seen, the break-away stirrup. These were meant to spring as this one has allowing the boot of the rider to be freed so as not to drag the rider, of course with the probability of great injury. Recovered from Gettysburg in the early 70's it is in very good, sound condition.

JAMES TYPE I ARTILLERY SHELL - Nice dug James shell with the lead sabot still intact (only a crack in the lead on one spot) and checkered evidence of the canvas covering (which is gone). Fuze insert is included - brass cap will unscrew as shown to expose the insert.  Nice shell for the price. (Of course the shell is deactivated).

R-13

M-1849 COLT POCKET REVOLVER - For those that like excavated weapons, this is a gem.  Serial Number is 128925 which has this  as manufactured in 1856. Only know that it was recovered in North Carolina. There are no rounds left in this pistol and was dropped at half cock no doubt in the heat of battle and remained for over a hundred years. Amazingly the loading lever spring is still intact.
