Civil War Presentation Staff & Field Officer Sword
Civil War Presentation Staff & Field Officer Sword, The Klingenthal blade displays a deeply etched patriotic eagle, the motto " E Pluribus Unum" within ribbon, a "US", penelope of arms, and other floral designs. The base of the blade has two poincons; one is a "B" under a crown and the second is a "S" within a shield. The French pattern brass guard depicts an eagle on shield under seven stars with "E.L" punched on the forward face under a well defined quillion. The pommel and backstrap are elaborately cast in "rococo" styled decoration. The scabbard has beautiful matching relief cast brass mounts. Grip is sharkskin; some honest wear, but almost complete as seen in pictures. Triple wire rapping complete. Blade: A little over 32" Overall length: 39"
