Military Use	Item #	Price
Model 1848 Springfield Musket: A beautiful example! .69 smooth bore, these were standard Federal issue until about 1858. Often were used during the Civil War by Confederate forces and early war Federals awaiting better arms. This is as nice as I’ve seen in a while of one that actually saw use. Eagle and “Springfield 1853” are super clear, deep stamped in lock. Although I haven’t disassembled it, looks like all screws and pins can be removed with no effort. Only replacement I see is the nipple looks to have been replaced down the line. Otherwise, as issued and unmodified. JUST ADDED!	MN336FJJJ	$1250
Model 1859 Spur: Unusual variation with stippling, otherwise typical Model 1859 with perfect working rowel, no bends, no over cleaning, dark pleasing patina. You want a nice non dug Civil War spur, here it is!	MN331JFEJ	$130

Model 1858 Smoothsides Civil War Canteen: Pewter Spout has been cleaned, tin has been coated with light coat of polyurethane. Very few dents, all from from honest use. All loops remain. Very little surface rust, has some zinc plating remaining. Spout slightly pushed on one side, doesn't affect overall relic..	MN314ABEJ	$245
Tin Spout Smoothsides Civil War Canteen: This more scarce style had the tin spout. Looks crude, might be a Confederate copy but I won't speculate there. All loops, but one has been mashed. A few small dents from use. Light surface rust but solid.	MN316AEEJ	$200

Bleeder/Fleam With Original Case: Few of these survived with their cases intact, but this one did! Two blade, one marked "Bostic", in good condition. Case is thin cardboard with black paper cover, some flaking but overall in good shape as well.	MN260EEJJ	$175
Pewter Syringe: Large type (7" closed), probably for wound irrigation. Other than bent top ring, it's in great condition, still works fine.

We'll include the mint condition magazine to show your friends.	MN197EJJJ	$155

Early-mid 1800s Powder Flask: Perfect working order, steel screws, copper shell body, Has the desirable adjustable spout. Very few minor dents, no leaks, as good a specimen as you’ll find.

Non Dug Coat Weight/Buttons: Made of lead, these are said to have served dual purpose, which I believe. Rarely seen non dug. Perfect buttons for a reinactor to wear to have that fully authentic look. Have five.	MN306JAJJ1	$5 each
Johnny Carson's Civil War Era Wallet ? Glass ambrotype (yes, it does resemble Johnny!) was stuck deep inside wallet when we got it. Was this the wallet's owner, or a friend? It's just a shame there is no id to go with it. Rarely seen style with separate compartments. Very old stitched repair on front, done over a hundred years ago. Ambrotype included, of course!	MN205BGJJ	$75
Tin Oil Container: Or so we were told. We do know it's of the Civil War era, made with the flat bottom so typical of that time.	MN206AFJJ	$40
Civil War Soldiers Fork: Actually it was dug at a Yankee camp near Sister's Ferry, GA, and the digger cleaned it up, put on a handle, and then could use it for reenacting! You can too, although I'd suggest more cleaning. But it was soldier used, so you can carry a piece of history in your haversack.	MN296JEJJ	SOLD
