    This C.W. Martingale is being offered as part of a sale of the collaborative collection of Dr. Francis Lord and Tom Burbage (pictured together w/ item photos).  Dr. Lord bequeathed many of these items upon his passing to his best friend and fellow military antiques enthusiast, Tom Burbage.  Over the next year or more, I will be listing these items for sale, primarily as auction listings on ebay.  There are hundreds of items ranging in date from the Revolutionary War thru WWII.  Many of these items are from the personal collections of Dr. Lord and Tom Burbage.  Some are artifacts retaining original price tags from Dr. Lord's final sale displays at Civil War shows throughout the country.  Besides being a collector of Civil War items, Dr. Lord published 4 volumes of Civil War Encyclopedias that became the early gold standard for collecting and gave many a young collector, myself included, a start in learning the artifacts "industry".  It is with humble honor that I offer these artifacts for sale on behalf of Tom Burbage.  I also sell artifacts of my own finding on ebay as "defence1st".  I thank my Dad, Wayne Fritts, ebay seller "americancolonial" for his help researching these items and also for the start he gave me in appreciating our veterans and collecting military artifacts some 30+ years ago.  Between us, we have over 6,000 positive feedbacks on ebay.
