  7. Your guy is not a Union soldier. Not sure that he is wearing a uniform. Could just be a civilian coat. Don’t know that army did a lot of well digging. Certainly happened in some camps or more pe...
  8. Beautiful welz and a happy birthday!! scott
  9. Yes— it is a painted photograph. These were very popular in the late 19th century. scott
  10. These do fit the era. They are photographic— enlarged portraits that are typical from the 1870s- 90s. Often called charcoal portraits by collectors. scott
  11. Is the oval portion applied to the cardboard backer? Check near an edge— easiest spot to tell. scott
  12. Nice modern decorator piece. scott
  13. Love the wood on this. I don’t see significant age to it— the way the drawer is built also supports it being a newer piece. scott
  14. Beautiful welz! scott
  15. M1860 cavalry saber. You are correct— it is the earlier model, the m1840 that is known as the wrist breaker. Once you see them side by side or handle them, you will understand. scott
  16. Beautiful welz— thanks for sharing! scott
  17. Restrained/ appropriate cleaning— I have seen so many metal objects ruined with a metal cleaner (brass, ….) scott

  19. Wow!! Amazing detail and beautiful patina on it— glad no one cleaned it! scott
  20. The tanks rounds were 84mm. Poster measured this as 133mm. scott
  21. Item is sterling, not plate. Prices begin at melt and go from there. scott
  22. Not a grenade casing. It is a shell casing for a 20 pounder, mark 2. Believe that was a naval gun, based on size posted. It is trench art. The applied hat brass is nice— not sure on it as I am n...

  33. Thanks for looking kev and when. scott
  34. This is Japanese embroidery. They became popular in the 1890s and continued until about the 1940s. Most that I have seen were souvenirs of US Navy sailors. Yours is unusual in that a large photog...

  41. It is a fantasy item. These first started to appear on the collectors market in the 1970s and probably still made today. There are a myriad of styles/ designs. You can find a lot on this site— ...
  42. Agree reenactors. Probably more modern— based on gear, I’d say 1980s at the oldest. scott
