Only $100 — Cheapest Anywhere!
The History of the German Steel Helmet 1916-1945— by Ludwig Baer (2nd Printing 1993) the Seminal German WW I &WW II History, Identification, All Things for German Helmets

No one who is even remotely serious about anything to do with German helmets of both world wars—and everything in between—can do so without the best historical and reference book by the world renowned collector and author, Mr. Ludwig Baer, The History of the German Steel Helmet 1916-1945. This is from the 1993 second printing of his book which I’ve personally owned since 2008. I got it from my dearest old friend and locally famous collector, relic hunter, Army/Navy Surplus store owner Mr. Dave Callaway before he passed away. “Uncle Dave” wasn’t only interested in Civil War, just as most of us aren’t! When I started to dabble in collecting German items, the first thing Uncle Dave did was give me this book, and it’s been a blessing ever since. Since I no longer collect any World War items, I know someone else will need this as much as I did.

Hundreds of pages with pictures, history, detailed information and explanations, it is the “German helmet bible” that everyone needs. Perfect for history buffs, collectors and dealers alike. There’s absolutely no damage, nothing loose or torn, just about as good as it was printed in 1993.

They’re selling anywhere from $150 to $400 on the internet.

Only $100 for you.

Shipping cost will be determined by the customer’s preference (or pick up).

$40 !!!
Civil War Relics of the Western Campaigns—by Charles Harris—The Ultimate Excavated/Battlefield Relics of the War! Bought new in 2005 and I personally gifted it to my Dad (he always signed and dated his books)

If for any reason you don’t already have this mind-blowing book, or maybe yours is worn out—or perhaps you’ve been thinking about buying it—here’s a mint condition one that I literally gave to my dad for Christmas in 2005. Living about 900 miles apart at the time, and being an avid relic hunter, I sent it right after the Nashville Show to my dad, and dad signed it with the date of December 10, 2005! My father passed away this past February, and I already have my own copy, so it’s time for someone new to have it.

This is the book first published in 1987 that photographically (with historical contexts abounding) shows us the major Civil War campaigns and battles of the entire Western Theater—all through the original excavated or battlefield picked-up items that will blow you away! Items never seen in any museum, this shows us exactly what used to be found for so many years after the war through the late 1980’s. It’s also the best book of historical instruction as to exactly what kinds of weapons, ammunition, personnel items—you name it—was actually used at which specific point in time.

These sell for $60 to $100 everywhere else. You can have the one I got my dad for $40 (not counting shipping unless you pick it up).

The English Connection—seminal Reference Book for All British Items Imported into the Confederacy. THE Must-Have Civil War Guide for All Things from Great Britain.

Authored by Russ Pritchard Jr. and Corkey Huey, this is unquestionably THE reference book regarding all things sold to/imported into the South during the Civil War. Hundreds upon hundreds of pages, complete with modern photographs of items from fi****ms to uniforms to leather items, cannons, ordnance, you name it. Photographs of original documents, images, records, receipts, shipment logs, and explanations to ALL of the once “secret” and enigmatic Confederate inscriptions, inspection markings that bewildered historians and collectors for decades are revealed inside. Explanations of exactly what, who, in what quantities, you name it, if it’s known, it’s in here.

Upon Corkey Huey’s untimely death, several others helped with the finalization of this book that took decades of research by the authors. Amongst those helping were Tim Prince of College Hill Arsenal and PBS Antiques Roadshow fame (as shown on the cover). This book I purchased directly from Tim and it is signed and dated by Tim (May 2, 2015 Mansfield Show). Of course, yours truly was involved with submissions for the two authors over the years, and my name is there in the front listing of Individual Acknowledgements section!

They sell for $139 at the cheapest, the average around $195.

You can have an autographed one for only $100.

Only $295! Volume 3!
THE Comprehensive Must-Have Springfield Research Service of Serial Numbers of U.S. Martial Arms — Volume 3 (Used—they don’t publish anymore…)

From Civil War to WW II Fi****ms, this IS the U.S. Fi****ms “Bible” of Serial Number issued Weapons! The only other one for sale is $997 on Amazon, so save your money!

Literally over 20,000 specific serial numbers here in Volume 3 with their identified regiment/unit and date issued/inventoried! When you pay $25 per weapon’s serial number to be looked up online, that’s a total of half a million dollars—or you can buy this book for $295! That’s why every serious collector or dealer gets these. This is in wonderful used condition, as I am the second owner, and there’s no damage, no loose pages, really only the most minor hand/finger page touching lol! I’ve never put a mark or stain in or on it. Great condition!

What’s inside includes the following (but WAY more than I can list here—see Table of Contents picture provided below):

- [ ] Civil War Carbines (Sharps especially)
- [ ] C**t Percussion Revolvers
- [ ] Smith & Wesson Revolvers
- [ ] Trapdoor Springfield Rifles, Carbines & Shotguns
- [ ] Model 1903 Rifles
- [ ] Model 1922 Rifles
- [ ] Model 1911 Pistols
- [ ] M1 Rifles
- [ ] C**t Single & Double Action Pistols
- [ ] Krag Rifles & Carbines
- [ ] Hotchkiss Rifles & Carbines
- [ ] Wi******er (Lee) Rifles
- [ ] And More!

Absolutely anyone who is a serious Civil War collector—especially if you dabble in dealing—knows all about the Springfield Research Service (aka “SRS”) listing of all known and documented US military-issued fi****ms, from pistols to carbines/rifles, based upon each serial numbered weapon. This is also true for the Indian War, Spanish-American War, WW I and WW II Fi****ms as well, so covers a lot! Of course, these do cover pre-Civil War manufactured weapons that were officially (documented) issued for wartime service. Each known specific serial number to each weapon is listed as to the type/model, the specific date it was issued (or “captured” or “turned in” etc) the specific Regiment and Company! This is CRITICAL when trying to identify a specific serial number to a specific Regiment—and the Company it was used by. If you get what is called a direct serial number match, everyone calls it a “hit”, for you can 100% prove exactly when and what specific Company in a Regiment it was in the hands of a soldier. From there, one knows a ton of specific identified history behind the weapon, and one MAY be able to specifically identify the soldier! This Volume 3 alone has made me the happiest collector, and as a dealer, made me a a lot of money! All dealers and collectors know this—it’s why these are so expensive to buy whenever one actually comes available.

These are NOT all of the serial numbers known for each, nor are they all that the complete Volumes published show—those they sold separately (and I’m selling my Volumes 2 and 4 separately).

Please Note: this is only Volume 3 and as can be seen on the cover photo below, covers specific weapons as described. There are other Volumes covering far more and other weapons, branches of service, etc, but for a Civil War, WWI or WWII general issued weapons guide, THIS IS A MUST HAVE!

I really can’t show a lot of specifics about what each page shows, because it IS copyrighted, people are STILL charging money for EACH serial number lookup! I can’t show an entire list for free—or without someone getting mad! But I’ll show an example or two so you “see” what it’s like. If you want more specific examples or information, just ask and I’ll give you what I can!

This is absolutely key to having in collecting, especially if you’re looking for specific units to collect for. If you’re just into knowing everything about a weapon by the serial number, this is it! I acquired this over 10 years ago at a Civil War relic show. They haven’t published these in years. This is the last updated edition that I’m aware of, being the 1990 Edition. The Springfield Research Service used to charge $25 per EACH serial number lookup! These are so hard to find for sale nowadays. In fact, I can only find ONE for sale right now for $997 (Amazon—everything else sold years ago).

You can have mine for $295 and save the money!

Over 20,000 serial numbers…when they charge you $25 for EACH serial number lookup, that would cost half a million dollars for all serial numbers combined.

For $295, you get them all!

Now you see why everyone wants this book…

Shipping cost is based upon the customer, so we’ll calculate that when you buy it.

If you have any questions or need more information, just let me know.
PS: if you’re wanting ALL the SRS serial numbers for Civil War weapons, you’ll need this Volume 3, as well as Volume 2 and Volume 4 (which I’m also selling separately—see listing separately).

Thank you!

SOLD
FOR SALE only $25 each! TWO Different Excellent Framed Confederate Heroes Print w/CS Money and Flag Motifs (measuring 17.75” X 21.5”) glass-encased Hanging Frames. One with Jefferson Davis, the other with “Our Heroes and Our Flags” replica prints. From my late son’s/my personal collection!

These I purchased in June 2003 just a couple months before my son Davis Lee was born, to adorn his room in Honor of the men I named him after. Purchased at the famous Old Courthouse Museum in Vicksburg, from my two great friends working there at the time—Jeff Giambrone (Chief Historian) and Gordon Cotton (Museum Curator). And if you visited the Museum back then, you knew Gordon was literally called the “Shelby Foote” of Vicksburg! His speech and manner was essentially identical to Foote’s, both being from the upper Delta and around the same age. Jeff was a longtime best friend to me and my family then.

As most of you know, my son was diagnosed with cancer (Leukemia) in August of 2006, fought it off and on the remainder of his 15 years of life until he passed 9 February 2021. These two beautiful framed Confederate prints with reproduction Confederate money and Flag motifs with one having a Jefferson Davis in one, and the “Our Heroes” Confederate Generals & Leaders. Everything is reproduction, of course, but are excellent print color copies of the originals. Each glass-cased framed ensemble measures 17.75” by 21.5” with metal tab closure and hanging tabs on the back (see pictures below).

They’ve been hanging in my house here in Florida since I moved here 8 years ago, and I need to keep thinning out everything here in my home—since my father’s passing this past February, my mom and I are busy reducing items in both of our houses.

In honor of my son Davis Lee, given his 23rd birthday would have been this week on Thursday, I felt it’s a perfect time for someone else to truly treasure and enjoy these beautiful pieces of of art, loaded with Civil War history, some Spicer history, and don’t cost a small fortune. They cost $30 each back in 2003, and that was with a discount! There’s no damage or anything detracting in their condition.

Please note it wasn’t easy getting really clear clean pictures with the glass in front—glare and reflections are the bane of photography of flat glass, lol. If you need any more information or pictures, just let me know!
