| Started setting VA Stones for Civil War Soldiers whose Civilian Stones were broken or damaged, back in the late 1980s. My friend Colonel William Myers, USAF, taught me how to document them and order them. Cannot do that anymore unless you are a direct descendant of the soldier, but we set about half a dozen back then, Union and Confederate. After all the relic hunting I got to do around some of those hallowed places, felt it was only right to make sure some of those guys names and service did not just disappear, when their civilian stones were damaged, broken, or unreadable.

| " We were on the Springfield Road, and how it was inferred by the men, I do not know, but they were almost unanimous in the opinion that we were moving there to go into winters quarters, which proved to be true. It drew us much nearer to our base of supplies, a large quantity of which was said to be as far advanced as Fayetteville, Arkansas." - Sergeant William Watson, 3rd Louisiana Infantry, December, 1861, - From the Book, "Life in the Confederate Army" by Sergeant William Watson. |

|
| Here is a A Very Nice Displaying Dug Jeff Davis Hatpin! It is about 90% there just misssing a couple small pieces at the bottom. It has a wonderful greenish brown patina, and the E Plurisbus Unum motto is still easily readable. Priced less than half what a perfect example would cost so give it a look. Link at left goes to Insignia.

Here is A Fine Condition U.S. M1840 Light Artillery Saber & Scabbard ! The blade is still in good condition with very few nicks, most of the wrap and all of the wire is still on the grip, and the saber fits the scabbard perfectly. Best of all it has a reasonable price too. Give it a look. Link at left goes to Edged Weapons.

| Here is a Very Neat Looking Relic U.S. Bullseye Canteen ! It shows only one tiny hole and virtually no dents, but still retains its original pewter spout and all three sling loops. Looks like it was lightly clear coated years ago, but really displays great, so give it a look. The link at left goes to Mess Equipment.
