He joined the Union Army on May 25, 1861 for three years and was assigned to Company K, 2nd Michigan Infantry Vol. as a Private. He was wounded on July 11, 1863 and was apparently a Sargent at the time. He re-enlisted as a 2nd Lieutenant on Oct. 10, 1964 and again on March 16, 1865 as a Captain, all with Company K, 11th Michigan Infantry. He mustered out on Sept. 16, 1865. Taylor fought a number of famous engagements including Fair Oaks, the Peninsular Campaign, Knoxville and served with Grant at Appomattox Courthouse. He was wounded on three different occasions, once to his head. After the war, he returned to Michigan and was a state representative 1873-75 and a Senator in 1877. He later homesteaded in Dakota Territory in 1882-1888 when he returned to Michigan. He died in an insane asylum on July 29th, 1890 and his condition was ascribed to: “wounds to the head received in the line of duty, while patient was in the service of the U.S. Government during the war of the rebellion”. Also accompanying is part of his family tree which includes a descendent named Margaret Mary Detlor born in 1926 who was, at that time, the owner of this revolver.

CIVIL WAR INSCRIBED SMITH & WESSON NO. 2 ARMY REVOLVER. Cal. 32 RF. SN 8215. Usual configuration with 6” keyhole bbl, half moon front sight, unfluted cylinder with 2-pc rosewood grips. The bottom of the right grip has the painted number “120B2Y”, which is probably an old museum number. At one time it was nickel-plated. The left sideplate is inscribed “Capt. W.H.H. Robins / Co. I 2nd Regt. / E.T.V.I.”. It is accompanied by a large volume of research in a 3-ring binder indicating that Robins enlisted with his brother in August 1861 in the 2nd Regt. East Tennessee Volunteer Infantry of the U.S. Army. They had previously been members of the Kentucky State Militia Lexington Rifles, but with the outbreak of war, joined the Union Army. He was mustered in as a 1st Sgt. of Company B, was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant in September of 1861 and to 1st Lieutenant in early 1862. On May 10, 1862 he was commissioned Captain of Company I. His regiment was subsequently re-equipped as mounted infantry and participated in the pursuit of Morgan’s Raiders into Ohio and Kentucky. In November 1863, they were garrisoned at Rogersville, TN and were captured by the Confederates of the 4th Kentucky Cavalry. Robins surrendered his revolver at that time and was imprisoned until August 1864 when he was paroled and then mustered out in November 1864. Undoubtedly, this revolver then saw service for the rest of the war with the Confederate 4th Kentucky Cavalry. After the war he returned to Lexington, KY, married and settled down and died in the National Soldier’s Home in Dayton, Ohio, April 15, 1906. Also accompanies is a copy of the November 1966 issue of The Gun Report which has an article by Wiley Sword regarding this and another Smith & Wesson revolver.
CONDITION: Fair to good. All matching including the grips. Retains 25-30% original nickel-plating with the balance a dark patina with some light to moderate pitting. Cylinder is a little loose, otherwise mechanics are fine. Grips have chipped toes and show moderate to heavy wear. Bore is worn and dark. 4-51216 JR1229 (4,000-6,000)

EXTREMELY RARE PAIR OF CONSECUTIVELY NUMBERED FIRST MODEL CONFEDERATE GRISWOLD REVOLVERS. Cal. 36. SN 1346 & 1347. As rare as Griswold revolvers are, a consecutively numbered pair is extremely rare. Only about 50 of the approximately 1,500 First Model Griswold revolvers made have been accounted for. These revolvers have a history with #1346 from the well known Fred Slaton Collection and #1347 from the Stanley Diefenthal Collection, both important Confederate Collections. Both revolvers are described as having 7-1/2” stepped rnd bbls, with 6-groove gain twist rifling. They have Colt style attached rammers, 6-shot cylinders, with brass frame, trigger guard & back strap. Both have 1-pc walnut grips. Both have slightly curved triggers with #1346 being more thin than the one on #1347. Both have 3-screw Colt style frames with a bbl wedge through a slot below a screw. The grip on #1346 is substantially more angled than #1347 but this appears to be factory original as the grips fit perfectly. Both revolvers have all matching assembly numbers including the penciled two digits in the backstrap channel of the grips. #1346 has the assembly number “26” which appears on the ramrod pivot, left side of the trigger guard under the grip and on the wedge. The same number appears in the back strap channel. The backstraps themselves are unnumbered. Also appearing on the left side of the trigger guard is the Roman Numeral “VIII” and “BB” on the right side. The same “BB” appears on the back edge of the frame. It has the initials “CK” scratched on the bottom of the butt. #1347 has the assembly number “27” which appears in the same locations as above and the Roman Numeral “III” is on the left side of the grip frame and reversed “JJ” on the right side. The same “JJ” appears on the back edge of the frame. The cylinders are almost exact replications of an 1851 Colt Navy cylinder. CONDITION: Number 1346 is very fine. No original finish remains, being a mottled silver/gray patina with worn muzzle edge and hammer marks around the wedge slot. Frame shows moderate wear with light nicks & dings and retains a beautiful medium dark mellow patina. Frame screws are slightly battered and one trigger guard screw is missing. Grips are sound with a couple of bruises on the bottom showing moderate wear, with a fine hand polished patina. Strong bore, pitted in the grooves. Number 1347 is very fine. Shows less wear with a light silver/brown patina and light nicks & dings on the bbl with fine pitting around the forcing cone. Wedge is a modern replacement. Frame is fine with replaced frame screws and some casting flaws on the right side. Hammer has light pitting on both sides. Grips are fine and sound with light handling & use marks and retain 15-20% original varnish, mostly on the left side. Frame retains a light cleaned patina that is beginning to patinate. Strong dark bore with good rifling. 4-51219 JR1116 (55,000-75,000)

EXTREMELY RARE CONFEDERATE INDIAN TREATY FLAG OR BATTLE FLAG. This flag is one of three surviving specimens and the only one in private hands. During the early part of the Civil War the Confederate states formed an alliance with certain southern Indian nations; the Choctaw, the Chickasaw, the Seminole, the Creek and later the Cherokee nation, to fight on the side of the confederacy. Originally the flag was designed with four red stars to form a passion cross and to represent the four Indian nations that belonged to the confederacy. Later, when the Cherokee joined, a fifth red star was added. The other two flags in existence relating to this Indian alliance are both in museums. They are slightly different in composition, but all three maintain a unique construction aspect in that they are all made of cotton. None of the other Indian associated flags has five red stars in the center, but one of the horizontal bars has the text, “CHEROKEE BRAVES”. This was captured at Locust Grove in the Cherokee nation on the third day of July in 1862 and was carried by General Stand Watie’s Confederate Indians. Another related Indian flag has 15 total stars; 11 for the Confederate states and four for the four Indian nations that at that time had aligned, each of those stars, rather than being red, have the name of Indian nation it represents in the horizontal bar with the text, “STRIKE FOR YOUR ALTAR AND YOUR HOMES”. It is known that this flag was sewn by Mrs. Victoria Redwine, wife of Captain (and later Major) Hulum D. C. Redwine, commanding officer of Company E. This was donated to the Texas military Museum and was carried by the 10th Regiment Texas Volunteer Calvary. This flag being offered is similar to a flag described in the September 6, 1861 Alton Illinois “Telegraph”, which copied an article from the Fort Smith Arkansas “Times” of August 1861. In this article it describes a flag very similar to the example being offered except that at the time of this article the fifth star representing the Cherokee nation had not been added. “The Confederate Flag Floats Over Our Camp… Inside the circle the commissioner has placed four small red stars forming the four extremities of a passion cross – for the four nations, the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole in token that these Christian tribes of ‘Redmen’ are encircled by our protection and are with and of us. When, if ever we deem fit to treat with the Cherokees, a fifth star will form the center of the cross…” This flag possibly a treaty flag, used at the time that the 5th Indian nation joined and/or very likely used as a battle flag in one of the Texas units. It was purchased a few years ago at an estate auction in San Antonio, Texas. It is an extremely rare flag and the only privately owned flag associated with these treaties. The five Indian nations fought on behalf of the confederacy and in fact the Cherokees distinguished themselves being led by one of their own General Stand Watie. Watie was the only Indian to attain the rank of General; his 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles were instrumental in disrupting Federal operations and cutting Union supply lines in the region. Watie was the last confederate General to cease hostilities and he never formally surrendered. The flag’s format is a standard Confederate 1st National with the blue field, white stars and alternating red/white/red horizontal bars the only difference here being the five red stars formed as the symbol of the passion cross within the circle of white stars. It is unquestionably a period flag and is accompanied by a letter of authentication from noted flag historian; Howard Michael Madaus dated August 20, 2003. Additionally, the flag is accompanied by a textile report by the nation’s foremost textile authority, Fonda Thompson whose findings also affirm that the flag is of the Civil war era. The flag’s history makes it extremely intriguing Confederate memorabilia. It’s size, bright colors and condition, make this a wonderful decorative specimen. A unique opportunity to own an extraordinarily rare Confederate/Indian associated item. SIZE: Flag is 97″‘ on the fly and 58″ at the hoist. CONDITION: Flag maintains strong color. It has scattered small holes from use although not of great detraction. There is a vertical repaired cut, which runs through the flag. Fonda Thompson’s textile analysis found that the repair was apparently done during the Civil War era, as the thread fibers are the same as the type produced in that period. (if we only knew why this was done – what an intriguing story this might also tell!). The flag loses no aesthetics in this repair and only a minute loss to the overall size of the flag. The original attachment is still here and Mr. Madaus’ details offer substantial details to its structure and history. The sale of this flag represents a singular opportunity to own what is, without a doubt, one of the more unique and extremely collectible artifacts of the little known portion of the Confederate/Indian alliance during the Civil War. Also offered with this flag is a copy of, “GENERAL STAND WATIE’S CONFEDERATE INDIANS”, by Frank Cunningham. 4-51301 (60,000-80,000)

VERY RARE KRAFT, GOLDSCHMIDT & KRAFT STAFF AND FIELD OFFICERS CONFEDERATE SWORD W/ SCABBARD. A rare early K.G. & K. sword. The guard and the pommel are decorated with K.G.&K.’s unique combination of laurel leaves and oak leaves, and the guard features a pierced “CS” embedded in the oak leaves, conforming to fig. 21-A in Albaugh’s “Photographic Supplement…”. The hilt, pommel, and especially knuckleguard are roughly finished, with casting marks, mold seams, and file marks evident. The grip is leather covered and wrapped with a single strand of wire. The blade is unmarked and not etched. The fullers exhibit variations in width/depth, possibly due to the pressures of getting into the sword business at the beginning of the war and the need to produce many swords in a very short period of time. The fullering and ricasso of this blade are atypical of this maker. The scabbard is iron, with brass throat, mounts, and drag. Size: 42” overall from pommel to drag. 34” long blade with 3/8” wide unstopped fullers. CONDITION: Overall good. Brass parts of the hilt are roughly finished, as they usually are, but in good condition. Blade is dark with mottled stains and cleaned pitting. Scabbard has a number of dents and the iron body has been refinished over pitting. Lower mount has a repair at its lower edge and some rust is visible between the mount and the scabbard. 4-51234 (18,000-22,000)

IMPORTANT CONFEDERATE GENERALS 1861 FIELD SWORD AND SCABBARD WITH INSCRIBED PRESENTATION FROM THE GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA. BRIGADIER GENERAL ARCHIBALD GRACIE, JR. C.S.A.-KILLED IN ACTION! We do not guarantee the inscription on this sword. One of the great opportunities in the market place to purchase the historic sword of Brigadier General Archibald Gracie, Jr. who was killed in action around Petersburg on December 2, 1864. This sword was presented to him by Alabama Governor Andrew Barry (A.B.) Moore who was the elected head of Alabama from 1857 through 1861 and played an important role in the first Confederate Congress assembled in Montgomery, Alabama in 1861. The presentation was made at the outset of War in 1861 when Gracie was appointed Major of the 11th Alabama Regiment.
The sword is a rather plain U.S. Model 1850 foot officer’s sword having a cast brass hilt, decorated pommel with sharkskin covered and twisted wire wrapped wooden grip. The slightly curved blade measures 30.25” and is decorated with etched patriotic designs including “U.S.” and a spread winged American eagle and shield. The blade is unmarked and may be the product of a Solingen manufacturer. The scabbard is of black bridle leather with plain brass mounts. The top mount is inscribed: Presented to Maj. A. Gracie / 11th Ala. Regt. / by Gov. A.B. Moore / 1861.
Archibald Gracie, Jr., was born in New York City, New York, on December 1, 1832. Gracie was born into a prominent New York family, and went to Heidelberg, Germany to study. He graduated from West Point in 1854, and served on the northwestern frontier. In 1856, he resigned from the army and joined his father in a cotton-brokerage business in Mobile, Alabama. Gracie became involved in the state militia. When the secession crisis began, Gracie’s father returned to New York, but Archibald, Jr. remained in Alabama as a militia captain of the Washington Light Infantry. Gracie seized the federal arsenal at Mount Vernon, Alabama, under the orders of Alabama Gov. Andrew B. Moore, before the state left the Union. Gracie and his troops joined the 3d Alabama Infantry, and were sent to Virginia. After being promoted to brigadier general to rank from November 4, 1862, he fought in the Battle of Chickamauga, the Siege of Knoxville and the fighting at Bean’s Station, where Gracie was seriously wounded. He recovered, and was assigned to duty under Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard, fighting on the Petersburg siege lines. Gracie was killed by Union artillery on December 2, 1864, while he was observing enemy movements. His father had Gracie’s body moved to New York City after the Civil War ended. Francis O. Ticknor wrote a poem of eulogy, entitled “Gracie, of Alabama”. His father’s mansion serves as the official residence of the Mayor of New York City –commonly known as “Gracie Mansion.”
CONDITION: Good. This sword has seen a great deal of field use but no abuse. This condition makes this sword even more desirable and historic in that it is highly likely that this sword accompanied General Gracie through his war career until his death at the killing end of a Yankee artillery shell at Petersburg. Blade is worn with a medium gray patina overall. Etching is visible but light. Brass hilt is a bit loose and unpolished, and the grip shows wear. Scabbard has a repaired break in the leather scabbard just above the drag (relatively well done). Brass mounts are uncleaned with a dark patina and the engraved presentation clear and genuine. 4-50609 CW1 (20,000-40,000)

LEECH & RIGDON CONFEDERATE FOOT OFFICERS SWORD W/ SCABBARD. Nice officer’s sword. The guard, pommel and grip closely conform to that illustrated in Albaugh’s “Photographic Supplement…” Fig 22-C. The top left surface of the guard features a cast “CS” in oval, the grip is leather-covered and wrapped with dbl twisted strands of brass wire. The blade, with unstopped fullers, is plain with no stamps or etchings. The sheath is of one-piece leather construction, stitched at the spine, and fitted with brass mounts. The leather is embossed with two lines on each side, conforming to the shape of the sheath. The mounts are bordered with fine grooves and are otherwise unadorned. The throat and tip are each attached with a single screw at the back and the center mount is attached with a pin at the spine. Size: 37-1/2” overall incl. drag. 32” long blade. CONDITION: Leather wrap is worn through in two places on the right side of the grip – the wire wrap is intact. There are some dents in the pommel, though the hilt and guard are good overall. Blade exhibits light pitting and staining, but has no nicks or chips. Scabbard mounts have a dark reddish patina, and most of the leather’s finish is alligatored and/or flaked. Overall a nice sword, appearing well-used, but not abused. 4-51233 (11,000-14,000)

HISTORIC CONFEDERATE USED CAVALRY SABER. Unmarked 1842 pattern saber with 35-1/2” slightly curved blade, small & large fullers, leather and twisted wire wrapped handle, 3-branch hand guard with original iron scabbard. Accompanied by an original leather sword knot. Also accompanies are several pages of provenance including that for CSA Brig. Gen. Beverly Holcombe Robertson and another for 1st Lt. George Eaton Priest.
Robertson was an 1849 graduate of West Point and served on the western frontier participating in several battles. He became a Captain in 1861 when he resigned and accepted a Colonel’s commission in the Confederate Army. He was the Commander of the 4th Regiment Virginia Cavalry. He fought throughout the war in several major battles including Gettysburg and several other lesser battles. He fought a rear guard action against Sherman’s troops in his march to the sea.
The sword is accompanied by a card of the “COMMANDERY OF THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS. / MILITARY ORDER OF THE LOYAL LEGION OF THE UNITED STATES” (MOLLUS) which has typewritten information on the front “REBEL SWORD”, and on the back – “Sword of General Holcombe Robertson C.S.A.” and a number. The front is inscribed in old ink “George Eaton Priest, / First Lieutenant, Quartermaster, / 57th Massachusetts Infantry, U.S.V. / Born 1843 / Died July 1897”. Lt. Priest served throughout the war and was discharged August 9, 1865. In 1886 the MOLLUS formed a Civil War Library & Museum to serve as a repository for their records, relics, souvenirs, etc. at 1805 Pine Street, Philadelphia, PA. Apparently Lt. Priest donated this sword which accounts for the number designation on the back of the card.
CONDITION: Sword is fine with mostly bright blade and with some staining along the edge and toward the tip. Brass has traces of original gilding with the balance a dark brownish patina. Handle has slight losses to the leather with loose wire. Scabbard is mostly dark brown with traces of original nickel, no bends or dings. Sword knot is dry with crackled surface, the strap broken in the middle. 4-51413 (2,250-3,250)

The back edge of the blade is sharpened from the tip of the blade, back 6 inches. We cannot guarantee this to be Confederate, but accompanying is a letter of appraisal from Larry Mealor of The Sword Depot, stating that this is the second such weapon ever seen by him. In the letter, he states that he sent the previous example to Mr. R. E. Neville, who also believed it to be of Confederate manufacture and photographed it for further study. He further states that similarity of the hilt to that of the Boyle Gamble McFee sword point to that firm as a likely manufacturer. SIZE: 19” overall. 14” long blade. CONDITION: Grip’s leather wrap is worn but nearly complete. Grip is wrapped with a single coarse strand of brass wire, which is complete. Guard and quillion are a bit loose. Blade is a very dark patina with some pitting and with numerous small nicks in the cutting edge. 4-51911 (1500-2500)

LT. GEN. JUBAL EARLYS CASED PEPPERBOX PISTOL AND PUBLISHED WAR MEMOIR, PRESENTED TO, AND ANNOTATED BY, HIS ADJUTANT, BRIG. GEN. PAYNE. This historic lot contains a cased Allen & Thurber pepperbox pistol, a photograph of Confederate artillery emplacements at Petersburg, and best of all, a copy of Jubal Early’s book A Memoir of the Last Year of the War for Independence in the Confederate States of America. The sepia-toned photograph is about 2-1/2” x 4” and shows an impressive array of artillery protected by earthwork. An ink inscription on the back identifies it as the interior of a fort near Petersburg. The book was printed in 1866 by Lovell & Gibson of Toronto, and is inscribed on the title page “General Payne with the compliments of J A Early” Early presented it to Brig. Gen. Payne January 10th, 1867, and the presentation is so dated in Early’s hand. The book is quite interesting since it gives Early’s interpretation of the battlefield activities in the waning days of the Confederacy. More compelling are the numerous notations, made by Gen. Payne, in the margins. While some of the notations are supportive of Early’s interpretations of events, many are not. For example, a notation made by Payne regarding Early’s account of the Battle of Cedar Creek, and a critical misrepresentation of the timing of the assault “came near making a break between Early and Gordon. I was sent for by both generals to give my recollection of time, and I remember that Early was anxious to convince me that I must be mistaken.” The margins surrounding Early’s accounts of Cedar Creek and the Valley Campaign are loaded with Payne’s notations – not all of them critical of Early. This book would be a wonderful primary resource for any historian seeking to better understand the controversies and criticisms that surrounded Lee’s “mean old man”, including questions of judgement and character. This lot was purchased at a Christie’s auction some years ago ex. collection of Rev. M. L. Steadman and is accompanied by a notarized letter from the lady from whom he acquired the items. The pepperbox is described as an Allen & Thurber percussion pocket size pistol with 3-1/2”, 6-shot, fluted bbl cluster. Cal. 32. SN 162. It has Allen’s Patent bar hammer with engraved attached nipple shield, round engraved receiver and bag shaped 2-pc walnut grips. It is accompanied by its original maroon velvet lined walnut case, compartmented for the pistol, a small iron 2-cavity mold, wood handled wiping rod, small round spring loaded brass flask and an open compartment containing loose balls, the key to the box and a Civil War era cannon ignitor. CONDITION: Book has been professionally conserved and is in quite good condition. Photograph is very good to excellent. Pistol is extremely fine, probably unfired, with the bbl retaining 96-98% strong bright original blue. Nipple shield & receiver retain 20-30% bright glossy blue with the balance flaked to light patina. Grips retain most of their original bright varnish. Accessories are fine. Case is sound with light nicks & scratches and retains most of its original varnish. 4-50270 (20,000-24,000)

FINE DETAILED WOOD BURNING ON BOARD. The board measures 23-1/2” x 19” vertical with the image of a fanciful Gen. Grant astride a magnificent charger holding a tattered U.S. flag aloft. It is obviously set in a battlefield, as there is a broken cannon cascabel in the foreground. The back is marked with burnt inscription “This picture of Gen. Grant proclaiming the surrender of Richmond, was burnt with a red hot poker expressly for P.E. Gay, Esquire, July 4, 1856.” and signed “Ball Hughes. Lieut. Boston. Massu U.S.” The date “1856” is apparently a mistake on the artist’s part as the inscription certainly looks authentic.
