BOYLE & GAMBLE CONFEDERATE FOOT OFFICER’S SWORD.

BOYLE & GAMBLE CONFEDERATE FOOT OFFICER’S SWORD. You are bidding on a scarce foot sword in excellent condition. This is a harder sword to find than this same manufacture’s staff and field officer’s sword. This is a fine example and is in excellent condition. This sword has a fine blade, perfect grip, perfect scabbard and patina to all brass parts match nicely. Pommel on this sword is decorated with laurel leaves, which is a scarce variant from the normal laurel leaf design. The grip leather is wrapped in thin twisted wire, sometimes associated with a retailer in Richmond, Va., Mitchell & Tyler, a well known Richmond jeweler who marked most of their swords with this type of grip wrap. Assembly number “4” is stamped on bottom of hilt. PROVENANCE: Fred Edmunds Collection. CONDITION: 29″ blade is gray/bright with scattered staining and pitting. A new protective leather washer has been added. Grip is intact, exhibiting wear and scuffing on high areas. Orig twisted brass wire is tight and intact. Brass surfaces of hilt and pommel have fine patina with scattered scratches and scrapes. Drag, as expected from use, has more scratches than other mounts. Top ring mount moves a bit but is still pinned, which is typical of this product. 4-38134 JS25 (15,000-20,000)
