LEECH & RIGDON CONFEDERATE FOOT OFFICERS SWORD W/ SCABBARD.

LEECH & RIGDON CONFEDERATE FOOT OFFICERS SWORD W/ SCABBARD. Nice officer’s sword. The guard, pommel and grip closely conform to that illustrated in Albaugh’s “Photographic Supplement…” Fig 22-C. The top left surface of the guard features a cast “CS” in oval, the grip is leather-covered and wrapped with dbl twisted strands of brass wire. The blade, with unstopped fullers, is plain with no stamps or etchings. The sheath is of one-piece leather construction, stitched at the spine, and fitted with brass mounts. The leather is embossed with two lines on each side, conforming to the shape of the sheath. The mounts are bordered with fine grooves and are otherwise unadorned. The throat and tip are each attached with a single screw at the back and the center mount is attached with a pin at the spine. Size: 37-1/2” overall incl. drag. 32” long blade. CONDITION: Leather wrap is worn through in two places on the right side of the grip – the wire wrap is intact. There are some dents in the pommel, though the hilt and guard are good overall. Blade exhibits light pitting and staining, but has no nicks or chips. Scabbard mounts have a dark reddish patina, and most of the leather’s finish is alligatored and/or flaked. Overall a nice sword, appearing well-used, but not abused. 4-51233 (11,000-14,000)
