VERY RARE KRAFT, GOLDSCHMIDT & KRAFT STAFF AND FIELD OFFICERS CONFEDERATE SWORD W/ SCABBARD. The guard and the pommel are decorated with K.G.&K.’s unique combination of laurel leaves and oak leaves, and the guard features a pierced “CS” embedded in the oak leaves, conforming to fig. 21-A in Albaugh’s “Photographic Supplement…”. The hilt, pommel, and especially knuckleguard are roughly finished with casting marks, mold seams, and file marks evident. The grip is leather covered and wrapped with a single strand of wire. The blade is unmarked and not etched and atypical of K G & K swords. The fullers exhibit variations in width/depth. The fullering and ricasso of this blade are atypical of this maker.

Brass parts of the hilt are roughly finished, as they usually are, but in good condition. Blade is dark with mottled stains and cleaned pitting. Scabbard has a number of dents and the iron body has been refinished over pitting. Lower mount has a repair at its lower edge and some rust is visible between the mount and scabbard. 4-51234 (14,000-18,000)
