- Lot Description
18.875 in. long wasp-waisted, unfullered blade with concentric ring brass hilt. This is the pattern of Confederate artillery sword typically attributed to E.J. Johnston of Macon, GA, as marker marked examples of similar swords with this pattern of hilt are known. These are usually accompanied by brass mounted wooden scabbards as is this example.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.About fine overall, smooth blade with pewter gray patina and mottled thin surface oxidation and a few tiny areas of minor pinpricking. Some of the discoloration appears to be old oil or grease and could probably clean off easily. Original leather throat washer is present, but torn. Scabbard is solid, missing only the drag. The original brass throat is fine, retaining the often broken frog button.Condition
