OFFICER'S SWORD. Overall length: 36 1/4". Blade length: 28". A good honest example of a Civil War Confederate Boyle & Gamble style staff and field officer's sword. This style of sword was also produced and/or sold by Mitchell and Tyler as well as Berger Brothers. This fact allows for small variations in various details of their respective swords. The plain blade has a single wide, unstopped fuller. The brass hilt has a pierced foliate guard with a central "CS" and star above. The underside of the guard is stamped "7" on one side and "31" on the other side. The foliate decoration extends a short way up the knuckle bow that splits, forming a sword knot slot. The pommel has a crude acanthus leaf decorated front with a plain 3-step pommel. Wire wrapped leather grip. Excellent top stitched correct scabbard with correct plain band sword mounts. The matching drag is stamped "51" on the top. CONDITION: the blade has a dark mottled patina but shows only traces of pitting. The tip is slightly rounded. The hilt has a pleasing early patina and is free from notable damage. The grip shows minor losses and shrinkage but the wire is complete. The scabbard remains quite strong and robust with no damage or repairs. The leather, itself, is a bit dry and somewhat crazed. Mounts are undamaged and show a beautiful mellow patina. (02-23931/BF). $8,500-11,000.
