Back in December, the Rock Island Auction Company (Illinois) offered a Colt Model 1851 percussion revolver that had belonged to Confederate Col. James Gregory Hodges who was killed in Pickett's charge at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
They also offered a rare Confederate Augusta Machine Works percussion pistol inscribed to H. Canning of the CSS Shenandoah.
I was unable to find out if the Hodges pistol sold, but the H. Canning one went for $31,625. I was unable to find any information on H. Canning, but did find quite a bit on Col. Hodges.
