CONFEDERATE BOYLE & GAMBLE FOOT OFFICER’S SWORD IN ORIGINAL SCABBARD.

CONFEDERATE BOYLE & GAMBLE FOOT OFFICER’S SWORD IN ORIGINAL SCABBARD. This is a nice example of a Boyle & Gamble foot officer’s sword that appears all orig, authentic and complete. This sword has pleasant patina to brass and a fine classic Boyle & Gamble blade that the Boyle & Gamble fault is barely discernible due to nice condition of blade. Grip is complete with good twisted wire. Scabbard is complete with brass mounts with matching patina to hilt. Pommel exhibits ivy leaf decoration which is much scarcer than the normal laurel leaf. This is a fine “as found” complete example of the popular Boyle & Gamble foot officer’s sword made in Richmond, Va. PROVENANCE: Fred & Nancy Edmunds CONDITION: 29-1/4″ blade is gray with scattered areas of staining and pitting, especially near tip. There are several small nicks in cutting edge in last 12″ of blade. Protective washer is replaced. Leather grip is complete with wear and a few minor chips to high areas. Twisted brass wire is complete and tight. Brass hilt, pommel and scabbard mounts exhibit yellow/mustard patina with scattered small scratches, dents and dings. There is an assembly number “4” stamped on bottom of hilt. Scabbard mounts are pinned, which is correct for Boyle & Gamble, top mounts have single incised perimeter lines where the drag has 2 incised lines. Even with different decorated perimeter lines, drag could still be orig though patina is slightly different. Drag’s pin is missing. Scabbard has shrunk about 1/2″ and when blade is pushed into scabbard, scabbard is pushed down about 1/2″ from where orig pinned. Scabbard body is sound and solid, correctly sewn and glued, with crazing, flaking and cracking and apparent re-dying of its black color. 4-46652 JS28 (6,000-8,000)
