"SUPPLIERS TO THE CONFEDERACY VOL. 2" 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 sword bayonets, have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Craig L. Barry and David C. Burt to write another authoritative reference book on the subject in 2016. This "SUPPLIERS TO THE CONFEDERACY VOL. 2" CSA CIVIL WAR ENFIELD RIFLE REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured).
