warpath Posted December 19, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 19, 2015 Civil War Cavalryman Confederate or Union? Likely a Yankee, but that buckle reminds me of a variant Virginia buckle. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted December 19, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 19, 2015 From what little detail you can make out from the buckle, it does look like the Virginia coat of arms. Perhaps someone will recognize the sword and the pistol as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpath Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted December 19, 2015 Thanks, that's what I thought at first look... Sword is an 1840 cavalry and the pistol looks like an 1858 Remington New Model. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted December 20, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 20, 2015 The revolver could be a Confederate copy. Seeing the shade difference between the cylinder and the frame. The frame could be brass. The firm Griswold and Gunnison made copies of the 1851 Colt and the 1858 Remington both with brass frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
