As the world spins ever forward, the annals of history remain etched in the relics and documents of bygone eras. The upcoming "Historical Haven: War Relics, Historical Documents, & Artifacts" auction, accessible online worldwide, is a tribute to the intrepid spirits of the past. This meticulously curated assemblage is poised to offer a rare glimpse into the valorous and the venerable, from the Civil War's frontline to the quiet thoughtfulness of history-shaping individuals. Gracing our collection is the legendary Civil War Colt Pistol, once wielded by Colonel Charles M. Bartruff, accompanied by an original assortment of his personal military documents—a testament to the military rigors of the era. Equally stirring, the American Revolutionary War Flintlock Pistol evokes the early sparks of a nation's struggle for independence, its every curve and carving a narrative of resilience. Among such formidable weaponry, the profound wisdom of Helen Keller and the patriotic vigor of Julia Ward Howe resonate through signed letters, capturing the essence of a nation's intellectual heritage. Auction-goers will also have the opportunity to acquire items of deep historical significance such as the Helen Herron Taft portrait and signature card, Jefferson's Correspondence in four treasured volumes, and an array of weapons that whisper tales of courage. From the austere beauty of an untouched Flintlock Fusil to the solemn gravity of a slave auction paper, each item has been chosen for its capacity to connect us to the past. We invite connoisseurs and collectors alike to join us on May 16th at 1:00 PM ET for this remarkable online auction. To behold these artifacts in person, visit our preview on May 13th, 14th, and 15th, from 10:00 AM ET to 4:00 PM ET.

Military medals, badges, insignia, ribbons, and patches mean many things in armed forces around the world. Decorations may be awarded for valor in combat, such as a Distinguished Service Medal; others to recognize service in a particular theater of war or campaign, such as Afghanistan. There are shoulder sleeve insignia, distinctive unit insignia, unit crests, and other indicia for dress uniforms as well as combat uniforms. They can indicate rank, specialty, commendations, qualifications, or the unit a service member belongs to. Among the military medals you're likely to find in this category are the Purple Heart, Medal of Honor, Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, the British Victoria Cross, the German Iron Cross and Blue Max, and the Japanese Order of the Rising Sun. Pins with clutch pin backs (pinbacks) include lapel pins and hat pins. Examples include the Oak Leaf of a major; the Marines' Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, and a Special Forces crest. Famous patches recognizable at a glance are the 101st Airborne “Screaming Eagle,” the 2nd Armored Division “Hell On Wheels,” the 1st Infantry Division “Big Red One,” and the US Army 1st Cavalry. Many are vintage collector's items from conflicts such as World War II, Vietnam, World War I, and Korea. Others are more recent from operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
