J.E.B. Stuart wore an identical Hardee hat made by the very same French maker, “Latour and Prince - Paris” however this General Officer’s Hat was worn by Union General Thomas Welsh of the 9th Corps While J.E.B. Stuart’s Hardee hat is on permanent display at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, this is the finest known US General Officer’s Hardee Style hat in private hands. It is in immaculate condition and comes with its original wooden hat box with a label on the lid “General Thomas Welsh - Dress Hat.” Welsh commanded the Ninth Corps’ First Division during the siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi and died shortly after the battle of malarial fever. He was appointed brigadier general just a few months before he died. Welsh must have only worn this magnificent hat a few times, as it is in the condition that collectors dream of. It has a tall Jeff Davis-style 7 inch high crown with an ostrich plume, a cockade, a black silk band on the brim, a gold thread general officer’s bullion hat cord, a mint “US” within a wreath badge on the front of the hat and an equally magnificent gold bullion side Eagle (see back cover) that holds up the right side of the brim. The black sweat bank measures 2-5/8 inches with a gold stamped maroon lining that is flawless and embossed in gold lettering Deux Medailles de La Classe - “Chapeau Excelsior” - Latour and Prince, Paris.

From the Norm Flayderman collection. ....... $28,000

The Rarest Confederate Corps Badge - TEXAS 1864 This badge was made and presented by the Ladies of Houston to the Texas artillery man, W. Jett, of the Jeff Davis Guards for the Battle of Sabine Pass, Texas. The City of Houston was saved during that famous battle when 19,000 Union invasion forces attempted to capture the city from the sea. The Davis Guards fired light artillery cannons from a makeshift fort at the mouth of the Sabine River and turned back the entire Union assault force. Beautifully made with a home-spun cadet grey ribbon, this badge has a hand cast copper of the Battle Flag engraved with the motto “Victory or Death.” The badge itself is engraved on a Mexican silver dollar with simply “D.G. & W. Jett” and a battle flag on verso with date of the battle.

This is one of only seven known to exist of the 49 that were presented by the Ladies of Houston on the first anniversary of the battle. This one was actually presented personally to a soldier and firmly identified. Confederate President Jefferson Davis visited Houston and an identical medal was presented to him.

Kentucky Confederate “State Guard’s” Uniform, Belt And Cartridge Box Of Private B. Coleman As rare as any Confederate regulation uniform, this Kentucky State Militia frock coat was discovered at a plantation outside of Louisville, KY called “El Nido.” The owner had previously served in the 5th Virginia Infantry (Stonewall Brigade) and the Coleman family owned the Louisville Rolling Mill nearby. An exquisite cadet gray, single breasted frock coat with large gutta percha buttons on the front (each marked N. R. Co/Goodyear), cuff buttons and tail pockets. It has blue “Infantry” trim and high standing collar, and the name Barry Coleman is written in ink inside the sleeve.

J.E.B. Stuart’s Sword Hanger, His Signed Letter and His Patent Document Kansas Territory 1860 US Army Lieutenant J.E.B. Stuart received a patent in 1859 for a Cavalry sword hanger that he designed. In an effort to secure a contract for his invention, he wrote from Fort Riley, Kansas Territory on January 25, 1860 to his friend Colonel Sam McCamant in Richmond, Virginia; asking him to intercede for him with the chairman of the Committee of Legislature of Virginia to purchase 500 copies of his design. The entire letter is written and signed in Stuart’s hand. This is a truly remarkable and historic document. Very few of Stuart’s letters are available to the public and this one is truly unique! It measures 16 1/4” x 10 1/2.” The circular bears a watermark and Stuart’s name is also written on the outside of the document as “Lieut. Stuart / U.S.A.” At one time, scotch tape had been applied to protect the document from separating but the document is intact save the darkening from the tape. ......... $19,500 Gary Hendershott • 501.224.7555 • P.O.

6-Pounder Field Gun Model 1841– And Original Limber Modified And Used By The Confederate Army This Big Gun’s history could fill a book! This type of cannon with its amazing condition and history – just does not exist, even in US Army or in Museum collections. We have never seen anything like this gun and its limber, which totals 26 feet long, as most are weathered from being stored outdoors, or dug and then painted. This gun has always being cared for and has its original, soft bronze patina. The Limber is crudely hand carved with cast iron blacksmith brackets and tongue for a team of 4 horses. The ammunition caisson would have held 50 cannon rounds and 75 friction primers and is completely intact with shelves that have collapsed over time – yet untouched. The State of North Carolina markings on the check pieces are of the utmost historical importance and clearly stamped N.C. 1862. The carriage has an Atlanta Arsenal belt plate hammered into the drag; and the carriage itself has been painted Confederate gray. With field modifications by the North Carolina troops, it has chocks to accept a 12 pdr or the 6 pdr cannon tube. Only one Confederate 6 lb was at the Battle of Gettysburg with the North Carolina troops. Made at the famed Springfield Armory in Massachusetts, this gun had a range of 500 yards and was widely used by State Militias (North Carolina) before the war. It is listed in the National Register of cannons as private ownership in Raleigh, North Carolina. ......... $125,000

Confederate Major General W. B. Taliaferro’s Camp Trunk General Taliaferro was an intriguing man – Gloucester County, Virginia aristocrat, Major General of militia, Harvard educated lawyer, Virginia delegate and regular US army officer and Mexican War veteran. Taliaferro gained notoriety as another of the South’s officers who got on the wrong side of the great Stonewall Jackson. Taliaferro served under Jackson in his Shenadoah Valley and Seven Days’ campaigns and, despite their shared devotion to strict discipline, bickered – much to Taliaferro’s detriment. Taliaferro was wounded at Groveton, and, in July 1863, he commanded Battery Wagner on Morris Island. (He was the commander who resisted the assault of the 54th Massachusetts Colored troops of “Glory” fame.) At the close of the war he commanded a division under Joe Johnston in North Carolina. The trunk was purchased from the Taliaferro family by an early collector and personal friend, Jim Moser of Orange, Virginia decades ago. The trunk has replaced hinges, and minor repairs to bottom. Latch is original.

This sturdy pine trunk measures 42 1/2” long x 18 3/4” wide x 15 1/2” deep. Overall condition is excellent! ......... $6,750 Lot 2279

In 1862 he enlisted in the 11th Kansas, immediately went to Arkansas and fought in the “Battle of Pea Ridge,” and later against Hindman’s Arkansas Confederates at the Battle of Prairie Grove.
