These are amazing pieces of the American wars and incredible examples of exceptional artwork, thanks for sharing these immaculate arms. The importance of these items and the importance of the lessons of history they represent can not be understated.
recently an original henry was sold in new zealand boxed with a sample box of cartridges all factory supplied unfired and perfect and i do mean PERFECT condition.
England was very pro Confederacy, especially my home city of Liverpool. Ships for the Confederate Navy were built at Cammell Lairds in Birkenhead across the River Mersey.
Hello Stephen from Liverpool. From Steven in Lanett Alabama. Is there still an active ship yard at the spot? Id wager to the fact that. Barring a fire? The records of said ships are in some dusty nook there. Yes England watched the war closely. The south was in dire need of everything. The thing they desired most. Was actually being recognized by England as a sovereign entity. Upon this? Everything would of changed. The blockade would of become illegal in the eyes of other nations. England as Alie of a lawfully recognized nation could of simply sailed into southern waters. With supplies. The Union Navy would of been strictly prohibited firing on them. Lest the next ships off load troops. Cotton? Truly was King. It's also very understandable at the time. The war surly had members of Parliament and others a bit giddy. After all many probably still called the U.S. The Colonies lol Any thing allowing an I told you so was welcome. An Aunt of mine traced my family back as far as 1066. A distant kinsman of mine. Came over with William. Whilst he still carried. The never said to his face I'm sure. The Bastard after his name. From my understanding This Steele was awarded land and title for his actions at Hastings. There is or was idk at this time nor where. But several years back. A Steele Abby and road of the same name. Still standing . You might be surprised to find. The true southern accent used by the Landed Gentry here in the south even today was closer to the proper Queens English than your Liverpool accent. Though I'm in no way making light of yours Sir. Nor is it the southern accent one years and automatically deducts IQ points for lol. But the one many of our older Ladies and Gentlemen in Savannah, Atlanta many graduates of the few remaining finishing schools left in the 60s. The main difference being a inflection here and there. I believe much of the changes came from the heat of 400 hell's here lol. Sadly this will die off as they pass as is chivalry. The world hating even this remnant of a bygone age. Even when it simply was a way of showing and speaking with polite respect. Not just for others but ones self. At any rate. STAY SAFE AND SANITIZED Brother 👍
@@STEVEN-STEELE Hello Steven. Yes the shipyard is still there on the same site. They don`t make new ships anymore, or they have not for a while at least. They tend to do re-fits for the Navy as well as private company`s. The last confederate warship surrendered in Liverpool, it was the CSS Shenandoah on November 6th 1865, apparently the captain, did not know the war was over and he was concerned about his actions at sea after the truce was declared. Liverpool was the unofficial home port of the Confederate overseas fleet. If you do a search on wiki Liverpool confederate fleet, there is loads of information. Some of our listed Buildings have a lot of southern architecture built into them, which baffles those that don`t know. The captain walked up the steps of Liverpool Town Hall, where he offered his surrender. If you google a picture of it, it has not changed, to this day. Also, the county of Lancashire was badly effected with the civil war as there were lots of cotton mills around that part of the country. I love the Southern accent and the style of the towns and such like, it always reminds me of a very civilised part of the world. You and your family take care and STAY SAFE. Lets hope things get back to normal soon.👍😎
@@stephensmith4480 Thank you for the kind words and the information on the history of that part of the Civil War. Im a tad embarrassed that I knew so little of it and look forward to delving into it. The last Confederate General to fall in battle as well as the youngest commissioned officer 8 years old. All happened two and a half blocks from here. If interested key in The battle of West Point Ga. Also Fort Tyler. Here in Lanett named by The Marquise De Lafyette as well as my home town of Lagrange Georgia. Lanett is the Eastern most Alabama soil here on The Chattahoochee river West Point is Georgias Western most. I can step in my back yard and be in GA. Lol West Point would of been a vital target had the war continued and Union Troops needed moved further west. As the rail road gages changed here. Any track here to points west? We're of the narrower track size. Any from here to points North and East were the wider type used everywhere else in the Union. So the Rail Depot here and the other depot in Columbus GA. South of here would of been very important. Its a sad tale but also one of Galentry Bravery and Honor. I'll not tell you. But allow you to read it online if you are interested. I consider it also the Thermopoli of the Civil War. On a side note. I'm trying to find out if the CSA Hunley changed trains from Mobile Al to head to the Carolinas or was it Columbus. I'm thinking with the submarine being such a secret. Here rather than Columbus would of been the better of the two. Its just a part the historical society I brought this up to. Are very interested in. The first Submarine to attack and sink an enemy vessel in war. Hoisted from one train to another here. The Union burned several hundred rail cars destroyed both Bridges and burned many civilian houses. But again. If interested look up the key words above. Once more Thank you for the kind words to myself and Family. I wish the same for yours. The state we are in? Has only a bit more rope to be tolled out. The ones doing all this to my nation. Mistook inaction for weakness. All along each unanswered wrong? Emboldened their cowardly leaders to step forward exposing themselves. Lists are almost complete. I'm fairly certain. America will have it's own Night Of The Long Knives. After all. How does one deal with a cancer? You cut it out. These Marxist and Communist hiding behind these other groups. Feeding them lies and emotions? Will be delt with in the harshest way. To set examples and try and wake some of these idiots they used as pawns. If not? They knew right from wrong and the word Consequences and it's meaning. Will be clearly defined in unforgettable lessons. I know my words sound like I'm crazy. Perhaps I am a bit. But it's still the truth. These crimes against my country will be paid for.
@@STEVEN-STEELE Hey Steven. No need to be embarrassed about history, it`s all about learning. I`m still learning things about my home city my friend, not to mention,my country. I have made a careful note of those things you have kindly sent me.A commissioned officer of 8 years of age!! many people would be Appalled at this. In His majesty`s Royal Navy, a Midshipman (officer cadet) would be about this age. The same rank in the Army, was a bit older, but the rank was purchased. So Idiots, ended up as men in charge, because they had, more money, than Brains. I`m sure we have seen this many times, in modern day, both in your country and mine. My Father was in the Merchant Navy, during WW2. He served in the Arctic Convoys, in the North Atlantic, going up to Murmansk and Archangel in Russia. He would turn in his grave if he could see what was going on today in his country.
@@stephensmith4480 I wasn't going to relate this part of The Battle of West Point. But the Just as reports came in of Union Troops advancing on The Fort. A 8'year old boy who had sneaked away from his home. Came to the fort and volunteered to help defend the fort against the Union. Gen. Tyler. In so many words. Told the boy he really couldn't use him. Crestfallen he burst into tears. Upon seeing how much this had crushed the boy. He told him. Perhaps he could use him. He ordered him to go to the hill to the North of the Fort. To watch for the enemy and to report if and when he saw anything. Already knowing the Union was coming from the South of their position. He then told the young lad. In order to allow you movement through our lines with such important information. I'm going to give you the commission of Major. This Gen Tyler did. But in fact the commission got the boy through the line and well away from any chance he might be caught in a possible cross fire. As the Union Calvery was moving around the outlaying area of the Fort To recon any troops possibly hidden that might attack on their flanks once committed to the attack of the Fort. Though my house was built in 1870. The 12 pound Napoleon cannons of both sides fired across my property. I tilled a garden a few years ago and found. 12 pound ball shrapnel and part of a Borden timed cannon fuse. The young boy lived to pass of old age. His name was Alexander Anderson. He was there after till his death called Major Anderson. His first name lost to many.
Boy, the confusion between the Spencer and the Henry...... "Load on Sunday and shoot till Thursday" (heard it said different ways, too)I always thought it was the Henry the saying referred to but since the internet I've heard it credited to the Spencer, mostly
Given that they were military issued sidearms, likely several. That said, given the excellent condition on a few, it's unlikely those examples ever saw use in the field.
None of these guns were probably used much. Ones that saw action were generally beat all to hell, remember, most confederate soldiers ages ranged from 14-60.
I agree I have a 50-70 trapdoor that was found up in the rafters of Fort Lowel in Tucson by my great grandfather in the early 1900’s it’s beat to hell and looks like it saw a lot of action.
Well said, the arms these people handle belong to other people and when watching the usual "Forgotten" videos gloves never worn in the episodes I have seen, either that or a lot of cleaning goes on after shooting (forgive the pun) stops. Also it seems very few of these weapons left the arsenal, personally I like the "used" been there done that look.
True idiots handle rare firearms w/o gloves, sticking their finger into a barrel. They apparently have no idea of what the oil from their hands do to the finish of these firearms, it's called RUST especially in the barrel you dumbass!!
This Henry has much of it's blueing left on its barrel . To which I shall now touch and rub with my ungloved hand. I enjoy the RIA videos but I feel my jaw clenching every time they handle a rare piece with no gloves on. The oils and acids on the human hand have been known to etch a finger print. Into a guns finish. Its has to be the right conditions. Mostly the P.H balance of the person a the moment. But it happens. Some may say. Ohhh they only touched it once. But I argue. As the weapon continues it's trip through time. One touch here. Another there along with the wiping done to remove any finger prints or other contamination. All add up. Why if truly a person who enjoys the history and pravonaunce of these arms. Be a contributor to wiping the history off of it. When condition is much of the value. I understand white gloves can cause the camera to have problems with contrast and focus. Perhaps wear a dark pair then.
6:56 Points loaded gun at face lol. My God these are beautiful. Got to wonder what they went for
That Henry is sick.
These are amazing pieces of the American wars and incredible examples of exceptional artwork, thanks for sharing these immaculate arms. The importance of these items and the importance of the lessons of history they represent can not be understated.
Just an incredible display of civil war guns, just wish I could afford one of these absolutely beautiful weapons. Great video guys
Incredible weapons of the civil war. Just wish I could ever own one. Great video guys
recently an original henry was sold in new zealand boxed with a sample box of cartridges all factory supplied unfired and perfect and i do mean PERFECT condition.
and sadly its now being confiscated and destroyed thanks to gun grabbing libtards
why? you have the thread on the "libtards" you refer to? or was it owned/confiscated from Kim .Com and proceeds of crime????!!!
Smart move points a loaded weapon at his face.
I wish I could say revolver like that. It's just rolls off his tongue so fluidly. :-)
Cool
Down south Kerr is pronounced 'car'
Thank you for your comment. My last name is Carr and the first of my ancestors that came to America were Kerrs.
when you close your eyes for the last time, nothing you own matters anymore.
That starr looks more modern than the dragoon
Have you Heard of the Morse carbine?
How about I trade you my vintage Mara Corday pinup poster for one of those 1851 colts?

It's the Henry. I've actually never heard it referring to the Spencer. That's a new one.
@@RockIslandAuctionCompany Henry is 16 rounds, so the 7-shot Spencer is the gun you load on Sunday, and shoot all week.
@@SStupendous No, that is the Henry also.
@@hrfardan66 16 days in a wekk! You're mistaken.
@@SStupendous The Confederates weren't talking about shooting the weapon once a day, they were in a war for goodness sake.

How many people have all those guns on that table killed???
