THOMAS, GRISWOLD NEW ORLEANS CONFEDERATE ARTILLERY OFFICER’S SABER WITH BRASS SCABBARD.

Classic brass scabbarded artillery saber, maker’s marked “THOMAS, GRISWOLD / NEW ORLEANS”, though on this example, just a portion of New Orleans can be read and none of the maker. Regardless, in the scabbard this is a beautiful sword with fine brass patina that will display beautifully. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Very good overall. 31″ blade is grey overall with pitting especially heavy towards point. Maker’s mark is barely discernible and only a few letters of “NEW ORLEANS” can be read. Grip has been re-wrapped with new wire. Unique solid brass Griswold scabbard has few cosmetic dents, dings and scratches but good matching dark mustard patina to hilt and pommel. 52438-5 JS (4,000-6,000) – Lot 3494
