Back on November 28th, I wrote about the R. L. Hamilton Civil War Collection that I was fortunate to view in Goldsboro, NC. It will eventually be exhibited by the Old Waynesborough Historical Site in that town. But until then, it is housed in a highly secure facility.

Some of the items of interest.

A full set of original Photographic History of the Civil War.

An 1862 Fayetteville Armory Type II Rifle valued at $30,000.

1862 Richmond Rifle Musket Conversion from 1857 valued at $20,000.

An 1840 Musket Remington Maynard conversion.

1842 Harpers Ferry musket (1852 conversion).

1864 Richmond musket

A powder horn collection, 14 rifles and about the same number of swords, including one from the Medieval times.

Two display cases with items picked up from the Averasboro Battlefield including several rings and wedding bands. Another display case has old silverware including some with pearl handles.

It will be a great thing when these things are brought out for public viewing.
