BERDAN SHARPS RIFLE, Civil War Longarm
This is one of possibly the most famous and sought-after longarms used during the Civil War. Hiram Berdan, for who the rifle is named, used his recognition and influence to persuade the Federal government to allow him to establish a regiment of Sharpshooters and specialized marksmen to act as "shock troops" similar to today's "special forces" such as the "Green Berets" and "Navy Seals".

SAUERBIER CAVALRY / STAFF OFFICERS SWORD
This sword is an old friend that has "come home to roost". It's unique combination of features including silver-plated pewter grip, silver-foiled scabbard, fire-blued and gold washed blade, etch presentation and history make it one of the rarest and most desirable of swords and possibly the rarest configuration of Sauerbier known to exist, even topping the famed Kilpatrick Cavalry Sabre of similar (but not as pretty) design.
