U839. CIVIL WAR PERIOD – M1860 STAFF OFFICER SWORD: Most M1860 Staff Officer swords that are for sale are the post-war version, and it is rare to find a Civil War period example. There are a few minor details to the Civil War sword: the basic plan looking reverse clam shell; the scabbard’s single ring top mount; and a simple looking drag. This example has all the characteristics of the Civil War version. The shark-skin grip and wire are 100% original; the button works allowing the reverse clam shell guard to move; the blade is maker marked F. Delacour & Bakes, Paris, and etched with small US flags; the top scabbard mount has one ring; and the drag is plan in design. The scabbard has a deep brown patina. Where the M1850 sword was designated for Staff & Field, this sword was only delegated for staff officers to include generals. There is an image of General Hooker on a horse wearing this style sword. $550.00
