- Lot Description
19.75 in. long spear point blade, 1.875 in. wide with an overall length of 25.5 in. Somewhat crude sand cast brass hilt with fish scale motif on grip. Blade is crudely forged and thinner than most similar swords with a rudimentary median ridge and no fuller. The scabbard is similarly crude leather with sheet brass mounts. This appears to be a classic example of an unmarked, crude southern copy of a US M-1832 short artillery sword.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.About good overall. The blade had a dark, uncleaned patina with significant surface oxidation and scattered pitting. The tip is blunted. The grip has a deep, uncleaned bronze patina. The scabbard is broken at the tip, with the drag area completely separated. The stitching remains tight and much of the original finish remains on the leather. The brass mounts are uncleaned but the throat is no longer secured to the scabbard body. The frog button is missing.Condition
