EARLY TIMES ~ Solid Pre Civil War cartridge box with original tins. I believe
this box could have even seen the Mexican War. Not sure if it is US Army or a
State Militia box. Solid box that displays well and could be dressed up if
someone has a cartridge box plate.
$295.00
WORLD CLASS DISPLAY ~ You Guys and Gals have probably walked past
this piece at the shows. This was once part of the award winning Confederate
Naval Display. I upgraded the owner of the display with a near mint example
and here is one very nice Confederate Naval Cutlass. Some say Selma Arsenal
. . . Other say this is a Leech & Rigdon product. I say who cares . . . It is
Confederate made and extremely rare on the market. If memory serves me
correct this example was originally sold by Shiloh Relics. Plenty of Confederate
casting flaws and classic traits we love. The guard shows some service and
could be gently moved into place but sure looks beautiful as is and ready for
display. Own a piece of award winning CS Naval at a REBEL RELIC PRICE.
$4,250.00
QUALITY AND IDENTIFIED ~ Model 1849 Colt Pocket Model Revolver with all
matching numbers including the wedge. Plenty of original varnish on the wood
grips and light cylinder scene visible. Crisp action and mechanically sound.
Nice barrel address and uncleaned patina. Oh yeah . . . Almost forgot to
mention . . . This keeps getting better . . . Nicely identified to Hiram R. Hunt . . .
Very nicely engraved with some history included . . . I believe with some
research this Identified Colt will only get better . . . Priced cheaper than some of
you might have paid for just a Colt in this condition. If your not buying REBEL
RELICS YOU COULD BE PAYING TO MUCH . . . Who says . . . I say . . . Rebel

I LOVE PRETTY THINGS ~ This has to be one of the strongest eye appeal
swords I have ever seen. This beauty has original gold wash, bright etched
blade, solid marine skin wrap and wire, anchors, US, USN, maker marked,
artistic design, US Navy, Civil War 1862 date, and REBEL RELIC PRICE. This
example is just a work of art . . . If you ever wanted just one example of a Civil
War Navy piece this is it. Gorgeous sword that I truly no "BS" will hate to pack
up and send off.
$3,650.00 lay away
ANY PA. PRIDE OUT THERE ~ Very hard fought unit . . . just to name a few
battles . . . Salem Church, Gettysburg, Brandy Station, Wilderness, Petersburg,

JUST LIKE JESSE JAMES ~ Well, . . . This one showed up with a tale as big
as Texas . . . Reportedly belonged to one of Jesse James' gang riders . . . . . . .
You thought it was just dealers with wild and eventful descriptions . . . The public
is catching on . . LOL . . . This example could have been used during the Civil
War as it was only produced from . . . 1861 - 1863 . . . Due to patent issues
Smith & Wesson shut them down. To further the oral history the State of
Kansas purchased most of these and issued to State Militia. This example of
the . . . E. A. Prescott Revolver has also had some "modifications" . . . Notice
the frame has been "blacksmith" altered to be quick loaded. The cylinder pin
has been "permanently" installed. The action works fine and the original wood
grips look great. The serial number is "74" and a couple of people thought this
could be a prototype but . . . I think not. If it was a prototype it would be worth
much more. The hammer has an old repair also looks blacksmith and the brass
frame looks great with mellow patina. Pretty neat old revolver with condition to
match the history . . . . . .
$575.00 ON HOLD
1861 . . . YES . . . 1861 . . . ~ Could there be a better date for a Civil War
Springfield Musket . . . No, is the short answer. Great looking attic gun with
original everything. Does have light Springfield cartouche and "VP" on barrel.
The lock plate is nice with maker mark and "1861" date. The action is crisp and
the stock is great considering this gun very well could have seen every major
battle in it's area of service. The barrel date is hiding under patina or gone from
service . . . If you love weapons that were in the "sh!%" but survived beautifully .
. . . you will cherish this one. Great example and priced under market . . . If
you can find one on the market. REBEL RELIC PRICED . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . I hear the Hartford address was for Colt's Southern customers . . . If
Southern folk lore . . . I still like the story. The action works fine and all the

with Confederate usage history. The knife itself screams "Dixie" and when held
does give the tingling sensation of a REBEL RELIC . . . The bone handle is
very cool and just a very utilitarian knife. This is the knife that could field dress
an enemy and peel an apple. The leather scabbard is also very cool with little
designs and does have some stitching issues. The tread has give way to time
but holds the knife secure and still solid. Priced cheaper than I sold it for the
first time.

displays wonderful. Half the size and a quarter of the price of a full size one.
