"SUPPLIERS TO THE CONFEDERACY VOL. 1" CSA CIVIL WAR ENFIELD RIFLE REFERENCE BOOK

Description

The Confederacy was short of everything except courage in the Civil War, and to outfit her troops daring blockade runners brought in British arms and equipment in exchange for gold and cotton. Confederate Enfields, in addition to cap boxes, "snake" belts, and socket bayonets, have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Craig L. Barry and David C. Burt to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 2012. This "SUPPLIERS TO THE CONFEDERACY VOL. 1" CSA CIVIL WAR ENFIELD RIFLE REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts an elegantly illustrated dust jacket over hardcovers, and sports 175 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of British made Confederate Enfield "snake" buckle waist belts, black leather cap pouches, "ball" bags, and cartridge boxes, P-1853 Enfield rifles produced by such makers as E.P. Bond, Potts & Hunt, L.A. Co., Barnett, W. Scott, W.L. Sargant, W. Greener, Joseph Bourne, Joseph Wilson, and others, Salter & Co.
