LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE JUST LEVELED THE PLAYING FIELD ~ Suddenly the
Yankee Colt Army probably looked weak . . . Can you imagine unloading this
nine plus one shot revolver . . . while riding hard and fast into blue belly cavalry
. . . . HAAAAAAAAWWWW . . . Gorgeous LeMat Revolver with matching
numbers and mechanically sound .... The loading lever has no matching number
... and my guess an old replacement. Whole lot of revolver here with strong
condition and eye appeal . . . The original wood grips look great and just a solid
example. Fine enough for any collection and priced below what I saw this
weekend.
SOLD
MAN'S MAN ~ Thomas Benton Smith was the youngest of the Confederate
Brig. Generals. His history would make for one hell of a motion picture.
Severely wounded at The Battle of Murfreesboro and again in the Georgia
Campaign. He fought bravely at The Battle of Franklin and Nashville were he
was captured. Shortly after being captured and while being held as a prisoner
he was beaten over the head with a sword by a yankee officer. As a result of
the injury he would be sent to Tennessee State Hospital for the insane after the
War. Where he died on May 21, 1923. One day when you have the time . . .
Please read about this real American's History and service. Just in case this
quick write up is vague . . . I truly love this artifact.
SOLD
# 83 .... PLEASE STAND UP ~ Good looking "Mississippi" Rifle with crisp
action and military cartouche . . . Nicely maker marked lock plate and date with
deep uncleaned patina. This one surfaced here in the South but I can still
detect the faint smell of Yankee carried . . . I believe these rifles were issued to
New York Yankees . . . Very nice example with all the Mississippi Rifle eye
appeal we love to see. REBEL YELL . . . For more details if needed . . . . . . . .
REBEL PRICED . . . . . . . . . .

THE GOLD STANDARD ~ If you like to roll FIRST CLASS . . . This here will
absolutely have you smiling . . . Minty . . . Did I say minty . . . Minty example
here with just powerful eye appeal and "stud horse" condition . . . I cut my finger
on the "minty" bore . . . you can see the cartouche from Texas . . . All maker,
inspector, and date strikes just like the day they were struck. If your waiting for
the negative . . . Long wait . . . This Model 42 "Horse Pistol" is just awesome . .
. . . . Grab your reference book and read about the history of these weapons .
. . . . I have always liked these weapons . . . Sometimes, well often, when I am
dreaming up the "gear" I would have wanted on my horse and side . . . I always
have two of these cap busters hanging off my saddle horn and a Nashville Plow
Works Sword with two Colt Model 1851 "Navy Revolvers" on my side .... with a
captured Spencer carbine . . . Oh, almost forgot a Colt Pocket Revolver and
Bowie Knife hidden here and there . . . . OK ..... I am back from 1861 now . . .
$2,250.00
THE QUIET KILLER ~ The Smith Carbine was the fourth most ordered
carbine by the United States Government .... The Spencer and Sharps get all
the glory but ..... These carbines were used very effectively on the first day of
Gettysburg ..... The 17th Pennsylvania and the 3rd West Virgina Cavalry were
armed with Smith Carbines ..... They made up part of General Buford's Cavalry
....... The .50 caliber Smith was considered by most reports a very popular
weapon and was used until the end of the War ... This example has a crisp
action and some original finish still reporting for duty. Serial number "3501" ....
with all the maker and patent marks nice and clear. REBEL PRICED ..................
$1,550.00
NOTHING BETTER THAN A GOOD #2 ~ I like this example .... Upon a
quick "RELIC WHISPER" session .... It was revealed to me that this Smith &
Wesson Revolver may have very well been Confederate carried and
documentation backs up this information. Some Yankees talk to plants and
other things ... the Rebel talks to relics ..... The action is crisp like the fall
morning air I can't wait for and the original wood grips are gorgeous. Very nice
and strong barrel address and cylinder marks visible. Serial number "dead
nuts" for Civil War and plenty of history of CS Cavalry using these weapons.
One more quick item of interest ....... the darn price ....... IT'S REBEL PRICED
..... YOU CAN PAY MORE FOR LESS BUT YOU NEED TO STOP THAT ..... BUY
