HI Guys, Figured I Would Show My Family History

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

My Grandparents have been the keeper of these items for the longest time. Because they are getting older, they didn't want to (god forbid) die and loose it to a garage sale. I'm purchasing a display case for all of it, soon. I'm also researching the owner/ancestor, D.A. Southard. Hope you guys enjoy!

First, we have a Belgian Pocket Pistol and a Colt SAA. Next, we have some Confederate Currency (found in the jacket), the Jacket itself, and the Cap. I also have the private purchase sword, which I'll post in a bit.

The waistcoat was hand made by his wife, supposedly.The Hat, truthfully I have no idea. I'm still in the middle of researching him, and having the items appraised.
