For over 40 years, I have had an intense interest in anything related to the Civil War. During that time, I have spent a great deal of time researching and reading about the campaigns, leaders, and common soldiers, as well as the weapons, ammunition, and equipment associated with both armies. I am also a relic hunter and spent a lot of time "reliving" the history of the battlefield and camp by being the first to touch a relic left by Civil War soldiers. For over 35 years, I have lived at the edge of the Georgia battlefield (Gilgal Church), within sight of the Lost Mountain - Kennesaw Mountain lines and 20 minutes from the "hell hole" of New Hope Church and Pickett's Mill.

Because of this interest in the Civil War, I decided to establish a relic business seventeen years ago. I wanted to offer the finest quality of Civil War relics to those people who shared this same interest. I also met many people who had never experienced what I had been fortunate enough to experience and I wanted to be able to offer them an opportunity to have authentic relics from the battlefields and camps. I was able to accomplish this through selling merchandise at various relic shows over the years and by mail order lists.

Since that time, I have acquired many satisfied customers who know I take pride in offering a wide range of guaranteed relics at the lowest possible prices. I am constantly expanding my web page topics in order to offer customers, new and old, a variety of relics and books. So, start browsing at the topic of your choice. Who knows? You might find the relic you've have been searching for.

Hello, again!

Why the delay in getting back with a newly designed website?  This past Summer, I retired from the Cobb County Police Department after 31 years of service.  My last assignment for the past five years was as Academy Training Director for police officers which took a lot of time away from my part time relic business.

Now, I’m back in business with this new website. Hopefully, this will make it easier for you to obtain those relics that you need for your collections. The shopping cart will help expedite those orders. Shipping will be within 24 hours on week days; on weekends and holidays, the next possible working day. Updates will be done every several days with more relics/books to check out. I will also have some new feature sections. There is now a relic blog page to help people identify relics and to share information on collecting. Please take advantage of this new feature. I want to thank everyone for their support for buying relics and sharing information with me for the past seventeen years. I hope that this new website will make buying relics easier for you.

Thanks for visiting.
