Was asked by a member to post my Confederate collection. These didn't come already in the form they are in. I had to find the parts and assembled them. All except the Spiller and Burr and the Dennix Lemat. The Pietta Lemat I had was out of time and it chain fired twice on me. I got rid of it and have not replaced it because of the cost.
So here is what I have right now.

When I first started about 8 years ago. I thought they only made the 36. Most all Confederate revolvers were in 36. This is one I don't have. Only difference from a Colt 1851 is the Confederate engraving. I doubt I'll ever find a 12 notch cylinder.

Yanks are pretty simple. Top to bottom. 1851 Navy, 1860 Army, 1861 Navy, 1862 Pocket and 1858 Remington Army and Navy. Im sure there's more but this is what I have.

Thanks a lot for sharing! When I first heard of two historic walls of two parties, I knew I wanted to see them!

Well I figured if I could display Confederate arms, a flag is not much different to me. I didn't do it to offend anyone. And I hope no one is offended. Its just history. And its Texas

I recently gave a presentation to a small crowd on Confederate Currency and I used a flag as a backdrop. It not only made for a "colorful" display , it was an attention getter as well. Right, it's just history and darn sure Texas.

Yes it is Texas for sure. Was trying to find a picture of my GG grandfather from the war hoping to see a revolver he carried. He was an engineer from Switzerland and emigrated to Texas in the 1840’s. Went from Texas to California for the gold rush returned to Texas because of the war. Served as chief engineer for department of Texas for duration responsible for fortifications at Galveston and Sabine Pass and others. After the war ended went to Mexico working for Swiss engineering firm Jecker working on Veracruz to Mexico City rail line. In his memoirs wrote about he and a fellow engineer cleaning guns at night, one remaining loaded on guard while the other cleaned. You can look him up on the web. Getulius Kellersberger, Swiss engineer, civil war.

I was under the impression the forts along the Texas Coast were designed by Col. Valery Sulakowski. Did they work together? And thanks for bringing this "bit of information" to our attention.
 
GG Kellersberger and the Col didn’t get along very well. He did report to him. The Col was the department head but my GG is the one boots on the ground responsible for construction. Also came up with the Quaker cannon ploy. He was part of the force that retook Galveston from the Federals during the war. Couldn’t do much about the blockade though except keep them guessing with the Quaker cannon.
