Confederate officers' sidearms

[mayhem]

Hello everyone. I am new to your organization and fascinated with the plethora of information. I am looking for info on Confederate Captain E.W. Capps. I believe I own his personal sidearm, but I cannot verify it's authenticity.
E.W. Capps, Captain, 15th VA Calvalry CSA. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Warmest Regards,

Steve

Welcome! Thanks for sharing the photos of this beautiful piece! Was it an inheritance, a family heirloom?

Thank you very much. Family heirloom.

Thanks for your response! So you have an established provenance! What a family treasure!

I don't have established provenance yet. I sent photos to Lt. Col Marshall at VMI and will be talking with him next week.

Warmest Regards,
