Warman's Civil War Collectibles, 3rd Edition

Civil War artifacts are some of the hottest collectibles on the market. Whether they were preserved by their original owners and passed down though generations, or were recovered from the battlefield, interest in their historical importance has driven prices to new heights. Russell E. Lewis’ Warman’s Civil War Collectibles—the only full-color book on the subject—brings collectors a broader array of these items than any other book on the market. Inside, you’ll find 1,500 color photos, with descriptions, prices and availability to help you accurately identify and value your Civil War collectibles.

Inside, you'll find weapons, uniforms, insignia, accoutrements, flags, photographs, medical items, ephemera and much more. There are bayonet-tipped rifles used in fierce battles. Tintypes of proud fighting men posing for their loved ones. Boots worn on long dusty marches. Flags and drums that stirred the troops. Diaries that reveal the feelings of those who fought. Beyond the collectibles, the book also features engaging Civil War commentary, historical facts and rich anecdotes.

Warman’s Civil War Collectibles is an essential volume for collectors, historians, researchers and re-enactors alike.
