FABULOUS PRESENTATION GRADE CONFEDERATE STAFF OFFICERS SWORD. Minty 31-1/2” frosted blade with blank presentation panel and large “CS” and floral motifs etched in 18” panels on the blade. Only minor stains on the blade. Hilt is rose pattern, 1850 staff style with cast “CS”. Pommel is Boyle & Gamble in style and decoration. Hilt is plain quillion and a two-digit number stamped on bottom of guard (also Boyle & Gamble style). Grip is near perfect with 95% leather worn through only at high spots. Twisted copper wire is complete. Original brass scabbard is repaired at old crack between bottom mount and drag. Similar Confederate made scabbard is a known Leech & Rigdon cavalry officer’s saber.

This sword was originally in collection on Long Island where it originated from a Union Veteran’s souvenirs. This is a unique, all original Confederate staff officer’s sword that exhibits features of several Confederate manufacturers. Unfortunately, this sword is unsigned but with a little research the maker can possibly be determined. A showpiece for the most advanced collection. 8-75982 JS7 (35,000-45,000)
