Nicely Preserved M1841 Mississippi Rifle Barrel
Here's a full length excavated Mississippi Rifle Barrel that's very well preserved !  Still retains original tang/breech plug and bolster, and looks to have altered front and rear sights. Metal has been cleaned and preserved, and this one is ready to go on a board or the wall. Link at left goes to Firearms.

Extra Sharp Dug Eagle Sword Belt Plate

Here is one very pretty Dug Eagle Sword Belt Plate ! Still retains it's belt hook, and a good body curve, and has sharp details along with a real nice patina !  A house site recovery, it's about as good as dug examples get.   Plate at left goes to Accoutrements, and you can have a look !  


Beautiful 80% Gilted - CS41a Confederate Staff Coat Button - Manassas/Centreville
Beautifully Gilted CS41a Confederate Staff Officer's Coat Button - Manassas/Centreville Area
Beautifully Gilted CS41a Confederate Staff Officer's Coat Button - Manassas/Centreville Area
CS41a Confederate Staff Officer Buttons aren't that common anyway, but in this kind of condition, they tend to disappear into collections fast ! Probably 80%+ Gold Gilt remaining, that makes the details on this one outstanding !  Reverse also shows generous gilt, and iron shank still intact.  Just about as pretty a CS Staff Button as you could hope to find ! The link at left goes to Confederate Buttons.

 Arkansas Reunion Button at left takes you to the Arkansas Veteran's Reunion Images, I formerly had at the top of the page.  Just hate to completely remove those soldier images.  Most of the images are of members of the 34th Arkansas Infantry, our NW Arkansas Boys,  just got gray beards by the turn of the century !
Near Wilson's Creek, Missouri, August, 1991
Aww Heck, I know you've seen this picture here before, but I can't help myself ! Guess there's been too many foggy mornings, when I looked across a pasture full of cattle, and when the first minie popped out of the ground, my mind's eye saw something more like this ! . . lol . .
