numbered. The grip displays nicely with nice edges and two notches

Identified 1/6 plate image of A. G. Harris of the 12th Tennessee Infantry.
Engaged at the Battle of Shiloh and Belmont. After those he went on to
be Adjutant and was with Forrest the remainder of the War. More
research needs to be done on him. This image came out of the museum
like collection of Mike Minor and has been in my personal collection for
over a year. On one day I purchased all the Franklin images that Mike
had acquired over a lifetime

single iron wire wrap. Blade is as nice as you will find with grey to bright
overall color as CS blades go. Has typical unstopped fuller. Nice
pleasing patina to guard with nice sand casting on bottom of guard. The
