Published Boyle & Gamble Confederate Sword
<B>Published Boyle & Gamble Confederate Foot Officer's Sword.</B></I> An exquisite weapon illustrated on page 18 of William Albaugh's <I>Photographic Supplement of Confederate Swords.</B></I> This fine sword has an overall length of 33" with a 28" blade and is sheathed in a leather scabbard having brass furniture. Although the sword is unmarked by a maker, its smooth pommel and martial blade etching are characteristic of the prolific Virginia manufacturers Boyle & Gamble. The beautifully toned brass guard surrounds a wooden grip bound in leather that is secured by brass wire. The blade is somewhat worn and has a few minor nicks, but it is free of rust and enjoys clean surfaces. The leather scabbard is not original to the sword and, although worn with light crazing, remains supple with sound stitching. A special Confederate sword worthy of any fine collection.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Large Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
