About Us
Report
The Horse Soldier was established in 1971 by Chet Small. The Small family lived at the time on Emmitsburg Road across from the famous Sherfy Farm. It was here in their living room that they started to sell relics; mostly bullets, shrapnel, cannonballs and other excavated artifacts. Chet grew up in Gettysburg and in his youth he hunted relics along with his brothers and sold them to the Rosensteel family who operated several area museums. As business increased, it was Chet's wife Pat who suggested the "relic business" move out of her house.
Inventory
Report
This presentation sword has very impressive deeply cast and chased mounts and silver gripped hilt. Schuyler, Hartley and Graham assembled and sold a wide variety of swords that were often highly. These were meant for match shooting, and the proper measure of powder would be added as needed. This is a scarce cartridge.
