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.

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
WHEELER AND STUART APPROVED ~ Beautiful example with
awesome uncleaned patina .... Strong action and mechanically sound with
matching serial numbers and original wood grips. Feel free to Rebel Yell for
more information and I will gladly send more pictures if needed.
SOLD
WORLD FAMOUS REBEL RELICS ~ Here is one the finest Confederate
belt rigs known period ....... I have all the history dating back to the original
advertising in the 1970s and the chain of ownership including being in a
museum for over 25 years. This Confederate grouping is identified to James Y.
Rodes .... The grouping is published and in the publication the middle initial is
incorrect .... which is the reason he was not found in the database. There is
loads of history and information on James Y. Rodes and I am currently working
on getting all of it read and copied off.
The Leech & Rigdon Confederate Revolver is very nice with crisp action and
very strong overall condition. The original wood grips are extremely nice and
even the original screws are in outstanding condition. The belt rig is original to
the revolver and maybe the only Leech & Rigdon Revolver with original belt and
holster known.
If you have questions please feel free to call me.
SOLD
GERONIMO DANCED ~ Scarce Confederate Dance Revolver with crisp
