RARE BOYLE & GAMBLE, RICHMOND, VA SABER BAYONET IN ORIGINAL SCABBARD.

RARE BOYLE & GAMBLE, RICHMOND, VA SABER BAYONET IN ORIGINAL SCABBARD. These bayonets rarely are found in such high condition and almost never with their orig scabbards. This example exhibits a 20-1/2″ blade with unstopped fuller. The blade is in excellent condition still showing orig tool marks. The brass hilt is also in excellent condition with fine patina exhibiting its orig spring and locking mechanism. Serial number “61” is stamped next to pommel slot. These bayonets were hollow cast and often the concentric ring grip is dented and even crushed. This specimen is perfect. The bayonet’s accompanying orig Boyle & Gamble scabbard mounts are pinned to the leather body which is correctly top sewn and glued, a feature not often seen by other Confederate manufacturers. You will have a hard time ever upgrading this rare Confederate bayonet and orig scabbard. PROVENANCE: Fred and Nancy Edmunds. CONDITION: Blade is gray/bright with light scattered staining and pitting. Brass hilt and scabbard mounts exhibit good patina with scattered dings, scrapes, scratches and nicks. Scabbard has shrunk with age such that there is a 3/8″ gap between scabbard throat and grip. There is a separation at sewn edge several inches long near drag. Leather scabbard body is quite dry and hard but surfaces appear orig. Frog button is missing from scabbard throat. 4-46653 JS35 (4,000-6,000)
