These partial Civil War sets are typical of what most Civil War sets look like with missing instruments.  Complete or almost complete sets as seen on the other pages of this web site are the exception.  If you have a partial Civil War set, I would very much like to purchase your set to preserve the instruments in the original case or perhaps reunite certain instruments with correct partial sets like those below.  Dr. Michael Echols.
