CONFEDERATE STAFF AND FIELD OFFICERS SWORD.

CONFEDERATE STAFF AND FIELD OFFICERS SWORD. Upon first glance, this sword appears to be a product of Louis Froleich of the Confederate States Armory in Kenansville, North Carolina, but this 29-1/2” unstopped fullered blade bears a partial stamp of “B. DOUGLAS & Co, COLUMBIA, S.C.” We are not sure that this is a product of Douglas or just an agent stamp, but the grip is fatter and more bulbous than a typical Froleich, and the ferrule is taller, being almost 1”. Accompanying Confederate scabbard is leather bodied, center sewn, has two Boyle & Gamble styled mounts. CONDITION: Grip is fine, retaining all orig leather and wire. Hilt, pommel, and ferrule exhibit good yellow brass patina. Top scabbard mounts have dark, rich, mustard colored patina. Leather scabbard body is very good and is coated with protectorate. Drag is reproduction. 4-56360 JS57 (10,000-15,000)
