THOMAS, GRISWOLD ARTILLERY OFFICERS SABER.

THOMAS, GRISWOLD ARTILLERY OFFICERS SABER. 31-3/4” partially unfullered curved blade stamped “THOMAS, GRISWOLD & Co., NEW ORLEANS”. This is a good example of the brass scabbarded Griswold artillery saber. CONDITION: Grip leather about 50% plus intact. Wire 100% but loose. Blade retains protective washer. Blade is gray with old sharpening and scattered pitting and staining. Hilt is slightly loose. Pommel cap has unusual “cross” cut on top. Scabbard is very good with one large dent near drag and numerous small dents. Scabbard and hilt both cleaned and have matching yellow patinas. Scabbard throat is retained by a screw. Second screw is missing. Screw retention of throat is not a typical Griswold feature, but this appears contemporary to sword’s use. 4-56350 JS49 (8,000-10,000)
