Confederate fuze gouge for the Bormann fuze used by artillery units on both sides in the Civil War.  The typical Union fuze gouge, however, had only a brass handle with the shaft and punch of iron.  This one is all brass from stem to stern with the common casting flaws to identify it as being of Confederate manufacture.  $550.00

Confederate 15-second fuze for rifled artillery projectiles.  Unmarked and painted red, the economy of manufacture gives its provenance away.  Union fuzes were typically marked with the seconds so the fuze could be cut to the proper time.  This one isn't.  $250.00

Confederate Cavalry sabre of unknown manufacture.  This piece features a flat blade with no fuller whatsoever, a rare condition occurring most often with Boyle & Gamble sabres.  The number of wraps of wire on the grip are too many to be a B & G product, but the flat blade may have been supplied by that firm to another supplier.  The sabre is in attic condition with 95 percent of the original leather grip and all of the wire wrap present.  The handle is a little loose, but it's an easy fix.  Nice original Confederate edged weapon.  $2, 950.00

Confederate percussion alteration of Pattern 1826 Navy pistol.  All the markings are there. $2,750.00

Confederate multi-faceted bolster used by Adams and others to alter old flintlocls to percussion in their efforts to arm the Confederacy with the arms that came to hand.  This alteration is far less crude than some, indicating the maker to possess more than the usually found metalworking equipment.
