- Lot Description
19.375 in. wasp-waisted spear point blade with 13 in. fuller, 24.75 in. in overall length. Sand cast red brass hilt with CS in the guard and a star in the pommel cap. The cast hilt shows the usual deep umber color of Confederate brass with its high copper content, and the equally common casting flaws. Original leather scabbard with sheet brass mounts. The maker of these "CS & Star" Confederate artillery swords is yet to be discovered, but this form remains a popular and desirable variant with collectors.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.Very good overall. Blade with a medium pewter patina and scattered age staining, minor surface oxidation and some lightly scattered pitting. The edges show a number of minor nicks and impact marks. The brass hilt has a wonderful, deep umber patina that is untouched and uncleaned. The scabbard is in about good condition, retaining about half of its original finish. All of the stitching is gone from the seam, and there is a serious crease near the drag that has damaged the leather, leaving it partially torn and very weak. The brass mounts are untouched and have a dark patina, but are no longer securely fastened to the scabbard body. The frog button is missing.Condition
