The Warmen's Civil War Collectibles Identification and price guide by Russell Lewis is well presented in both text and illustration. However, as a general rule, the prices listed would not be expected to be current. One omission was the over-the-shoulder, or circular saxhorn that was commonly used by Civil War bands. Prices, depending on the maker, will vary; anywhere from a low of $3,500 to over $15,000 for a presentation instrument. Of course, condition of the instrument should be taken into account when bidding. Fortunately, missing parts can be reproduced by today's musical instrument craftsmen, but at a fairly high cost. As an amateur musician, I love to play the old saxhorns of the Civil War period as they produce a lovely mellow sound when using a period mouthpiece.
Really like the savings on this year old book. This one has a lot of good info (of course letting a lawyer compile a civil war collectibles book you would expect some critical details/photos to be missing). Nice section on Confederate artillery projectiles, and some cannons. In all, a usefull book at one third the original cost.
Great reference and pictures...prices seem dated.
